FloSports and NASCAR will contribute $50,000 to the purse for the Late Model Virginia Triple Crown, raising the overall champion purse to $20,000. FloRacing will now also be the presenting partner of the Virginia Triple Crown.

"We're thrilled to partner with NASCAR to elevate the Virginia Triple Crown to a whole new level," said Michael Rigsby, GM of FloRacing. "Late Model racing has long been a core focus for FloRacing, and this partnership lets us invest directly in the drivers, teams, and fans who make it so special. We can't wait to showcase this incredible three-race showdown to a national audience."

"The Virginia Triple Crown is a celebration of short track culture–where many of NASCAR's top stars got their start," said Joey Dennewitz, managing director, NASCAR Regional. "With the support of FloRacing, we're amplifying the reach and prestige of each event, creating more excitement for fans and more opportunity for drivers. It's exactly the kind of grassroots investment that strengthens the future of our sport."

The new payout structure extends to the top 10 finishers in the Virginia Triple Crown standings, up from just three in previous years:

• 1st – $20,000
• 2nd – $10,000
• 3rd – $7,500
• 4th – $5,000
• 5th – $2,500
• 6th–10th – $1,000 each

All payouts will be distributed following the final leg of the crown – the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway on Sept. 27.

The Virginia Triple Crown presented by FloRacing is determined by average finish across three of the region's crown jewel events:

• June 28 – Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway
• July 19 – Hampton Heat at Larry King Law's Langley Speedway
• September 27 – ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway

To be eligible for the championship and prize money, drivers must compete in all three events.
