CFNiA Championship to be Settled at Senoia

SENOIA, Ga. (Nov. 2, 2023) — With just one week remaining until the third annual Peach State Classic weekend comes to life at Senoia Raceway, anticipation is building for the mega weekend at the Georgia oval.

The Castrol® FloRacing Night in America Championship battle is wide open with five drivers mathematically still in contention for the title with the weekend doubleheader hanging in the balance.

Bobby Pierce leads the standings by nine markers over Hudson O’Neal with Jonathan Davenport 87 markers out of the lead in third and Ricky Thornton Jr. 88 points removed from the top spot in fourth with Tim McCreadie in fifth 132 markers out of the lead and Dennis Erb Jr. sitting in sixth, 154 points out of the lead.

With 10 events in the books already and two events remaining things get even more interesting for the championship battle. A driver’s best 10 finishes count toward the series championship, which means that all perfect-attendance drivers will have the opportunity to replace their two lowest scores during the course of the third annual Peach State Classic weekend. Meanwhile, a driver like Dennis Erb Jr., who missed the season opener with hauler issues will have the opportunity to collect points for his 10th event of the year along with a possible low point score replacement with his performance in his 11th round of action.

With that being said the drivers, who still have a mathematical claim to a title bid are Bobby Pierce, Hudson O’Neal, Jonathan Davenport, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Dennis Erb Jr. The ability to replace or not replace their lowest scores in the final two events has the battle for the 2023 title wide open.

The end result is a thrilling championship battle, which will likely go down to the final lap of Saturday night’s mega finale. The championship pays $75,000 with perfect attendance ($50,000 without perfect attendance).

Additionally, a total of 16 drivers still find themselves mathematically eligible for finding a spot in the final Top 10 of the series standings, which will reward them with a share of the point, which exceeds $137,000.
