BROWNSBURG,
Ind. (January 13, 2020) – The 2020 Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star
Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 boasts an impressive schedule
of 55 events, 17 of which will award a winner’s payout of at least
$6,000. With an exciting slate comes a hefty point fund, as the 2020 All
Star Circuit of Champions point fund will now award $258,000 across the
top twelve positions including $65,000 for the championship team; a
$58,000 increase from 2019. Kevin Rudeen has committed to ‘sponsoring’
$50,000 of the increased fund. “I’ll
be the first to admit that I have never liked points racing, but this
past year was a lot of fun for me and my team,” said Kevin Rudeen. “We
had an awesome time at the All Star banquet in December and I really
like the way that Tony and his team do things with the Series. I’m
looking forward to 2020 with our partnership with the All Stars. We will
be announcing details at a later date on our 2020 Rayce Rudeen
Foundation Race.” Not
only will the Series champion notice an impressive lift in the
season-ending point fund, bumping up from $51,000 in 2019 to $65,000 in
2020, but the remaining 11 positions within the top twelve will also see
an increase including a $9,000 jump for second and third place raising
the payouts to $45,000 and $35,000, respectively. In
addition, the fourth place payout will increase from $21,000 to
$28,000, fifth place from $16,000 to $22,000, sixth place from $11,000
to $15,000, seventh place from $9,500 to $12,000, eighth place from
$8,000 to $10,000, ninth place from $6,500 to $8,000, tenth place from
$5,500 to $7,000, eleventh place from $5,000 to $6,000, and twelfth
place from $4,500 to $5,000. “This
is awesome,” said Tony Stewart. “A huge thank you goes out to Kevin
Rudeen. He took a chance with the All Stars last year having Cory
(Eliason) driving full-time, also put together a nice contingency
package for the racers and sponsored a huge Foundation race. Whenever we
can give back to our racers, it puts a smile on my face.” Although
not accumulating championship points toward the season-ending point
fund, the All Star Circuit of Champions will kick-off their 2020 season
with a four-race stint in the Sunshine State, first invading the
high-paced Volusia Speedway Park near Barberville, Florida, on Wednesday
and Thursday, February 5 & 6, followed by a two-day visit to East
Bay Raceway Park just south of Tampa on Monday and Tuesday, February 10
& 11. The
championship point season will activate, officially, on Friday and
Saturday, April 10 & 11, with a two-day stay at the highbanks of
Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio. The Spring Nationals doubleheader
will award $5,000 on each night. 2020 All Star Circuit of Champions Point Fund:1. $65,0002. $45,0003. $35,0004. $28,0005. $22,0006. $15,0007. $12,0008. $10,0009. $8,00010. $7,00011. $6,00012. $5,000Total: $258,000 About the All Star Circuit of Champions:All
