FASTRAK FACTS:

The 2007 FASTRAK Point Fund is nearly $350,000.00 with the FASTRAK national champion receiving $50,000.00 cash plus contingencies.  How does a local racer make it to the Nationals and have a chance to win $50,000.00?

1. The driver must register to be a FASTRAK member.  Membership is based upon the number of tracks and or Touring Series' that the driver wishes to compete in.  Membership Forms are available here.  Drivers who choose not to be a member can still compete in the race, but cannot earn points towards any FASTRAK Point Awards or Invitations to the National Championship.

2. The driver must compete in 51% of any weekly track or touring series they are a member of.  Once that is accomplished, 1 National Point is earned and an invitation to compete in the Nationals is earned.  The schedule for the nationals has not been released as of yet, however MCR has learned that out of 3 nights of racing, 1 will be in the Northeast Region (or region you compete in) and 1 (the final) will be in Bulls Gap, Tennessee at Volunteer Speedway. The other night will be announced.

3. The maximum points any driver can earn towards the National Championship is 5.  All other points to determine the National Champion are earned during the Nationals 3 nights of racing.

4. A driver can earn 3 points if they win any of the points championships they compete in (MCR FASTRAK Weekly Champion, Raceway 7 FASTRAK Weekly Champion, Northeast Region Point Champion, etc).  Second place in any series earns 2 points, third place earns 1 point.

5. A 5th point can be earned if a driver attempts to make all of the races scheduled for a particular series (MCR Weekly, Raceway 7 Weekly, Northeast Touring Weekly)

6. At the end of the year, the driver must select which series they want to count towards the National Championship (obviously they would pick the one they did the best in, if they won two series, they would still select one)

What is up for grabs......

1. The MCR Champion will receive $1,000 from FASTRAK plus the MCR point Money plus a Leather Jacket from FASTRAK
2. The Northeast Touring Series Champion will receive $5,000 cash, plus a Leather Jacket.  Spots 2-10 will also receive point money.  As of March 9th, more than $10,000 in contingency awards are available and more are coming.
3. The National Champion will receive at least $50,000 in cash plus contingencies, FASTRAK will pay the top 30 in points from the National Champions weekend.  The 2006 champion Steve "Hot Rod" LaMance won over $30,000 in contingencies, and $50,000 in cash.  Remarkably, he did it with a 99 GRT and an Open Trailer!!  Amazingly LaMance made the Nationals by winning his home track championship and earned the loyalty point for competing in all the races at his home track and he won the Nationals by 1 point!
