The BackYard Series; A series designed for the “Saturday Night Racer”.

As previously stated, this Series is for the Saturday night racer. Our goal for this Series is to promote new drivers, inexperienced drivers, low budget drivers, returning drivers and just “wanna have fun” drivers. We want to give these types of drivers an avenue to gain knowledge and experience to hopefully one day be able to compete at a higher level.

Drivers NOT eligible to compete in the BackYard Series:
-If you have won a Maxxis National race in an Adult class in the last 5 years
-If you won $2,000 or more in a single Adult race in the last 5 years.
-If you have won a Championship in an Adult class in the Tri-State Series
-A JR driver cannot run in a JR class if they have won a Maxxis National race, a JR Maxx Daddy race, a Tri-State Championship or have won more than $1,000 in a single JR race. However, the driver can participate if the non-qualifiers were won as a JR driver but is now running in Adult classes.

BackYard Series Details:

-This will be a 6 race Series and it will be points racing with one drop. A 5 point bonus will be given to drivers that competed in all 6 races.

-Points are awarded for the best 5 out of 6 races. You are allowed one substitute driver.

-The top 3 in each class will be invited to the yearend banquet where awards and prizes will be given out. The awards will be determined by the level of participation.
