$25K Added To Prize Pool for Inaugural NAPA Sprintcar Invitational Winner

$25K added to prize pool for inaugural NAPA Sprintcar Invitational winner.

NAPA Auto Parts is pleased to confirm that it will provide an additional $26,000 to the prize pool for the NAPA Sprintcar Invitational at NAPA Speedway in the City – one of the great new attractions at the VAILO Adelaide 500 this year.

 

The additional prize money means that the overall winner of the inaugural event will earn a cool $25,000.

 

Over the two nights of racing for the 600-plus horsepower Sprinters, the winner of Thursday and Friday night races will collect $10,000 each, while the overall winner (on points across the two nights) will take home the $25,000.

 

With prize money being paid to the top 10 finishes on each night, the increased pool means that there is $126,000 in prize money on offer in total.

 

And if one driver is good enough to conquer both Thursday and Friday night, they will take home $45K.

 

Mitch Wiley, Executive General Manager of Marketing for NAPA says that the extra prize incentive is sure to see all drivers and teams leave nothing on the table for victory.

 

“We are really excited to see some of the best Sprintcar drivers race at the NAPA Speedway,” said Wiley.

 

“The buzz within the speedway industry has been enormous. Adding it to an event like the VAILO Adelaide 500 that is already huge in its own right is going to make it a spectacle like no other.

 

“Unlike other motorsports, prize money does play a role in these teams racing budgets. For an event of this stature, it was only fitting to work with the South Australian Motorsport Board on ensuring a healthy pay day for those who finish up the front. 

 

“The team at NAPA Australia can not wait to see the inaugural NAPA Speedway come to life in the Adelaide Parklands.”

 

The NAPA Speedway will be part of the VAILO Adelaide 500, including the final round of the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship, at the famous street track on November 14-17.
