As the start of the 2026 Schaeffer's Oil Spring Nationals Series presented by Coltman Farms Racing and fueled by Sunoco season nears, we are excited to outline the new Loyalty Program and Championship point fund. The Loyalty Program will pay show-up money to the top five at each series event. Over $31,000 will be distributed to the top five drivers in points throughout the year - $2,100 earmarked for each race. As part of the new Loyalty Program, the top three drivers with perfect attendance will receive $500 each race night, while fourth and fifth will receive $300.
The first five drivers eligible for show-up money at the season opener at Swainsboro Raceway on February 27 (based on 2025 points) will be Garrett Smith, Wil Herrington, Cory Hedgecock, Jimmy Owens, and Sam Seawright.
The Championship point fund sits at over $21,000 for the top five in final Spring Nationals points. The Champion will receive $10,053 for his efforts, while second through fifth will receive $5,053, $2,553, $2,053, and $1,553 respectively. If any drivers fulfill the requirements to be eligible for point fund money and sit outside of the top five, they will receive $1,053 following the completion of the tour on Sunday, May 24 at Duck River Raceway Park. With purse money, Loyalty Program money, and point fund money, drivers will be racing wheel-to-wheel for over $540,000 this spring!
Each driver's worst 𝐓𝐖𝐎 point races will be dropped after the Spring Nationals season finale. Drivers can drop a 0-point total for a missed event, but can't drop a 0-point total for a disqualification. If we complete all 15 races 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦, only a driver's best 13 point races will count towards the final point standings.
