Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series 2026 Driver Loyalty Program Details

Drivers who intend to follow the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series and compete for the series championship in 2026 have the option to enter the tour's Driver Loyalty Program.

Entering the program makes drivers eligible for the following benefits as long as they remain in good standing with the Series:

Free race entry to all HTF Series events.
Two free pit passes for every HTF Series event.
Eligibility for $500 Travel Money paid to 10 highest Loyalty Program drivers in - Series points at each track visited.
Eligibility for series provisionals at HTF Series events (see provisional rules below)

The cost to enter the Loyalty Program is $750 if drivers enter and pay before March 1, or $1,000 if paid on or after March 1.

To also apply to compete for the Rookie of the Year Award, complete the application at https://forms.gle/TyC3uZGUs9g7yTnWA

Only Loyalty Program drivers in good standing with the series are eligible for points fund money or Rookie of the Year points fund money, and only Loyalty Program drivers are eligible for Series provisionals and Travel Money.

Drivers can enter the Loyalty Program at any point in the season, however, to be eligible for a Series provisional at a race, drivers must have entered the Loyalty Program prior to the start of that event.

A driver is considered to be in good standing with the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series as long as all of the following conditions are met:

Any missed points events are accounted for through the two allowed Drop Races as defined in the Drop Race section of the rulebook and/or approved as a Hardship in accordance with the Hardship section of the rulebook.
The driver, car owner, or any member of the driver’s race team has no unresolved penalties, suspensions, or disciplinary actions issued by the Series.
All fines, fees, or financial obligations owed to the Series are paid in full.
The driver, car owner, and team members are in compliance with all Series rules, procedures, and conduct standards, including but not limited to technical regulations, sporting conduct, and administrative requirements.

Once a driver no longer meets these requirements, they will immediately lose eligibility for Driver Loyalty Program benefits, including free entry, Travel Money, points fund money, and Series provisionals, until good standing is restored by the Series.

TRAVEL MONEY

The highest 10 drivers in HTF Series points who are part of the Driver Loyalty Program and in good standing with the Series will receive $500 in additional race payout each time the series visits a track. The 10 drivers receiving Loyalty Program money at a track will be determined by the series points standings before teams travel to the track regardless of any position changes during the event. PLEASE NOTE: Travel Money is paid per track, not per race.

Travel Money for the early portion of the 2026 Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series season will be restricted to returning Loyalty Program drivers. Travel Money for the following events will be paid only to drivers who finished the 2025 HTF Series season in good standing and are properly enrolled in the 2026 Loyalty Program:
Needmore Speedway — Jan. 30–31
Swainsboro Raceway — Feb. 2–3
Talladega Short Track — March 22

Beginning with the April 10–11 events at North Georgia Speedway, Travel Money eligibility will open to all drivers enrolled in the 2026 Driver Loyalty Program. From that point forward, Travel Money will be paid based solely on the current HTF Series point standings entering each event.

Drivers can enter the Loyalty Program at any point in the season. However, to be eligible for Travel Money at an event, a driver must have registered for the Loyalty Program at least 48 hours prior to the advertised drivers meeting start time for that event.

DROP RACES AND SPECIAL POINTS EVENTS

During the 2026 season, each driver will drop their two (2) worst points events, including absences, from their final championship points total. A driver may miss up to two (2) points events and still remain in good standing with the series.

For the South Georgia Showdown events at Needmore Speedway (Jan. 30–31) and Swainsboro Raceway (Feb. 2–3), only a driver’s single best finish from those four (4) events will count as a points event and be counted toward championship points. Drivers who do not compete in any South Georgia Showdown events will have those events collectively count as one (1) dropped event and will remain in good standing with the series.

For the Memorial Day Weekend events in West Virginia May 22-24, each driver will count only their two (2) best finishes from the three (3) events as points events. Drivers who do not compete in any Memorial Day Weekend events may count those events as their two (2) dropped events and remain in good standing with the series, provided they competed in at least one (1) South Georgia Showdown event and do not miss any other points events during the season.

Drivers will begin dropping their first worst points event following the completion of the tour’s first points event after the South Georgia Showdown. Drivers will begin dropping their second worst points event following the completion of the Memorial Day Weekend events in West Virginia.

Championship Weekend events are not eligible to be dropped. Entering the final weekend of the season, each driver’s championship points total will be calculated with their two worst points events excluded. All points earned during Championship Weekend events will then be added to determine the final championship standings.

PAID PROVISIONAL STARTING SPOTS

Only Loyalty Program drivers who are in good standing with the Series are eligible for series provisionals. For all Series events, the 23rd and 24th starting spots in a feature field are reserved as paid Series provisionals.

For the South Georgia Showdown races at Needmore Speedway and Swainsboro Raceway, Series provisionals will be awarded to the two 2026 Loyalty Program drivers highest in the final 2025 Series points who are not already in the main event. Drivers must have registered for the 2026 Loyalty Program to be eligible.

Standard provisional starting spot rules based on the 2026 points standings will go into effect starting with the March 22 Series event at Talladega Short Track.

In the event that all Loyalty Program drivers qualify for a feature through prelims or all but one qualify, provisionals will be opened to non-loyalty drivers using current points.

UNPAID EMERGENCY PROVISIONAL STARTING SPOTS

Only Loyalty Program drivers in good standing with the Series are eligible for Emergency Provisionals. A maximum of four (4) emergency provisional starters will be allowed in any A-Main, starting after the qualified field.

Other than the South Georgia Showdown events at Needmore and Swainsboro, emergency provisionals will be offered to the four (4) Loyalty Program drivers highest in Series points not already qualified for the starting field. For the South Georgia Showdown, emergency provisionals will be offered in order of drivers’ B-Main finishing positions with drivers’ qualifying times breaking any ties.

Emergency provisionals may not be used in consecutive events unless no other Loyalty Program drivers are able to use an emergency provisional. Excluding the South Georgia Showdown, drivers may only use six (6) emergency provisionals during the 2026 season.

If a driver chooses to use an emergency provisional, they will receive points for the A-Main finish but will only be awarded payoff for the difference of start money and their A-Main finish. For example, consider a situation in which a driver uses an emergency provisional to start 25th in an event advertised as a 24-car field and advances to finish 12th. If the payoff for 12th is $1,200 and start money is $1,000, the driver will be paid $200. The remaining $1,000 is used to pay start money to the driver finishing 25th.
