In conjunction, officials from the USMTS have announced that ‘The Hunt’ will now pay $26,000 to the champion (up from $25,000) and a minimum of $2,200 in points fund money (up from $2,000) to all drivers who attend every race during The Hunt for the Casey’s USMTS National Championship.

UP NEXT: Another make-up race inspired by Mother Nature happens this Wednesday, June 14, at the Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie, Minn. The 2nd Annual Chubbs Performance Midweek Modified Madness presented by Victory Door Systems will also feature an unsanctioned “outlaw” B-Mod special with a top paycheck of $3,001 to win.
