10 Reasons You Should Watch Castrol FloRacing Night In America

After a successful inaugural season in 2021, Castrol FloRacing Night in America returns for the 2022 season with bigger stakes and more excitement. Whether you're a Dirt Late Model diehard, pavement fan or NASCAR enthusiast you're sure to be entertained by the action. 

We've put together 10 reasons why you should watch Castrol FloRacing Night in America live on FloRacing.

Reason #1: All but one Castrol FloRacing Night in America event will be held during the middle of the week. The schedule consists of four Tuesday shows, five Wednesday races, two Thursday events and a Saturday season finale. That said, what more can you ask for than a little mid-week short track racing?

Reason #2: Every Castrol FloRacing Night in America race will pay a minimum of $22,022 in 2022. The stakes will be high and drivers will be up on the wheel trying to collect a big mid-week paycheck. 

Reason #3: The biggest stars in Dirt Late Model will be competing in Castrol events throughout the year. During the inaugural season in 2021, a total of 136 drivers attempted to compete in at least one race on the schedule. That list of names includes defending champion Jonathan Davenport, Mike Marlar, Bobby Pierce, Tyler Erb, Jimmy Owens, Hudson O'Neal, Brandon Sheppard, Devin Moran, Brandon Overton, Tim McCreadie and a host of others.

Reason #4: If you're a fan of NASCAR, you'll be happy to know that Kyle Larson made a habit of competing in Castrol events last year. The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion claimed one victory in six series starts. 

Reason #5: Each Castrol FloRacing Night in America broadcast features a 30-minute pre-race studio show. Michael Rigsby and Derek Kessinger set the stage for each event, bringing you the biggest storylines and special guest appearances from the world of Dirt Late Model racing. Each night of racing also features a post-race show breaking down the night of racing. 

Reason #6: We know you don't want to stay up late on a weeknight. That's why series officials are committed to running an efficient race program that allows you to watch the main event and still get up for work the next morning. 

Reason #7: Did we mention the season opener will be held at one of the most historic dirt tracks in the world, Eldora Speedway? This event will give drivers a chance to compete at "The Big E" prior to the Eldora Million and Dirt Late Model Dream in June. 

Reason #8: In addition to the big prize on the line at each event, there is also a chance for the mini-series champion to win $75,000 if they attend every race that is contested. 

Reason #9: This year's schedule features events at historic dirt tracks in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. This means that in addition to watching the biggest national stars, you'll also be able to watch some of the best regional racers in the country. 

Reason #10: The season ends with the second running of the $53,053-to-win Peach State Classic at Senoia Raceway. Between the big winner's check and the potential for a $75,000 championship on the line, this will be a can't miss event for motorsports fans.
