The Making Of Circle City Raceway

In just two days, the FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 will take center stage in the Hoosier State, set to battle for four straight nights at three Indiana bullrings, all of which kicking-off on Thursday and Friday, May 20-21, with a two-night stay at the all-new Circle City Raceway in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Dubbed the All Stars Indiana Invasion presented by Rayce Rudeen Foundation, competitors will not only duel for a total winner’s share equaling $48,000 over the four-day extended weekend, but a points fund equaling $26,000 will also be distributed among the top-five in the final weekend standings. The All Stars Indiana Invasion presented by Rayce Rudeen Foundation champion will be awarded a $10,000 top prize, with second through fifth awarded $7,000, $4,000, $3,000, and $2,000, respectively.

The Circle City visit will not only activate a high profile weekend for Tony Stewart’s All Stars, but the All Star doubleheader will also be the facility’s debut event and will award a total winner’s share equaling $16,000; $6,000 on Thursday and $10,000 on Friday.

The four-night Indiana takeover will continue on Saturday, May 22, with a visit to Gas City I-69 Speedway. Only the second All Star appearance in Series history, the Saturday night showstopper will award a $6,000 payday. Dale Blaney, the all-time win leader with “Amercia’s Series,” was the first and only All Star to win at Gas City, scoring a victory on September 17, 2004.

Growing into one of the most sought-after prizes on the All Star campaign trail, the All Stars Indiana Invasion presented by Rayce Rudeen Foundation will conclude on Sunday, May 23, with the third running of the annual Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race. Like years prior, a $26,000 payday will be awarded to the main event winner.

Conducted at three different tracks during its three year run, the Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race held its inaugural event in 2019 at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. The 2020 edition was hosted at the Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wisconsin. Three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and All Star owner, Tony Stewart, won the first-ever Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race; Elk Grove, California’s Kyle Larson earned last season’s $26,000 share.

Ian Madsen will enter the four-race swing as the current All Star Circuit of Champions point leader, holding down the top spot over recent first-time winner, Tyler Courtney. Courtney, at the helm of Clauson Marshall Racing’s No. 7BC, earned his first-ever All Star victory during Mace Thomas Classic competition at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan. Incidentally, another first-time Series winner, Neptune City, New Jersey’s Kyle Reinhardt, earned top honors just 24 hours later at Dirt Oval at Route 66.

Two-time winner in 2021 and former point leader, Justin Peck will enter Circle City third in the title chase, followed by Zeb Wise and Hunter Schuerenberg.
