Riverhead Raceway is set to honor Figure Eight icon Tom Kraft this Saturday night with the 4th annual Two for TK Twin 9 races. To celebrate Kraft's legacy, bonus and lap money awards have been announced, with potential prizes reaching as high as $2,470 for the event.
Erin Larsen-Delaney revealed the specifics of the financial rewards. Based on the number of cars starting, drivers will receive $500 toward each race, with top three finishers earning additional money ranging from $300 down to $50 per race. If fewer than ten cars start, an additional $250 will be added to the top three payouts for both races.
In addition to the main bonuses, several unique awards were disclosed. These include a $100 Oval Speed fastest Lap award and a $100 Jim Sylvester Most Laps Led award. Other prizes include a $50 Best Average Finish award for Scott Tapley and various bonus spots for drivers like Joe Conlon and the TK Future Star last car on the lead lap.
The event also featured lap money distribution, with $1,440 in lap money sold across four sets of laps. The initial portion will be distributed based on a tiered structure, with $10 for the leader, $6 for second, and $4 for third per lap. All lap and bonus money will be disbursed following post-race technical inspection.
