The 2025 season brings substantial prize money increases, with the champion set to receive $2,025. The payout structure extends through the top 10 positions, with fifth place earning $425 and tenth place receiving $250.
JAM Performance and Elmo's Speed Supply, both located at 861 Saratoga Road in Burnt Hills NY, have partnered to make these increased payouts possible. The businesses, now run by Chris Reckner, continue the legacy of supporting Capital District racing established by his father, Elmo.
