SOMERSET, Ky. — Officials with the Valvoline American Late Model Iron-Man Series fueled by VP announced the 2025 schedule of events.
The tour is made up of 32 events across four states and 19 tracks. Purses, points fund monies and contingency awards are in excess of $1 million for the season.
The schedule also boasts eight events that are five-figure paydays and 13 events will be broadcast on different streaming services.
The 2025 champion will receive a record-paying $20,000 with the top-ten receiving points fund money at the end of the season. The defending series champion is Rusty Schlenk, who is expected to follow the tour again in 2025.
Series officials have also announced that Valvoline Global Operations will return as title sponsor for the fifth-straight season. Also, VP Racing Fuels will be coming back on board for the second-straight season as the presenting sponsor of the tour.
It has also been announced that the “Valvoline Weekly Allstars” Program will feature eleven touring events that will have its own separate points fund allowing “weekend warriors” to race for some extra cash all while accumulating points for the overall tour championship.
The mini-tour champion will pay $5,000.
“It’s hard from some drivers to run a 30-race schedule and we wanted to give them the opportunity to be a champion and still be part of the tour. We hand-picked some weekends where drivers would earn points for both while making extra cash, a chance at a title and some extra recognition,” stated series co-owner Chris Tilley.
If a driver were to win both titles, the 2025 championship could be worth $25,000.
Season highlights include two visits to the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on Saturday April 19 for the track’s 72nd annual season opener paying $5,000-to-win.
