Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series introduces 2026 Minon Construction Loyalty Program
Graniteville, S.C. (3/26/26) — In its second season of competition, the Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series (STSDS) has announced a competitive loyalty program for the upcoming 2026 season. Southern Thunder continues its commitment to supporting the regional racer by helping manage rising racing costs while providing events with responsible scheduling and sensible travel in mind. Details for the 2026 Minon Construction Loyalty Program can be found below.
The loyalty program will pay $250 to the top five drivers in points at every series event. Loyalty teams will also receive two gate passes at each event in addition to free entry. This program is funded by the series, not the track, and is designed as guaranteed show up money for teams supporting the Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series throughout the season.
Southern Thunder owner Travis Scott emphasized the series’ long-term vision, stating, “We want to build something that is best for racers and also builds up a sustainable series for the tracks and fans.” He added that the program represents “another step toward giving back to the teams and drivers who support the series.”
In addition to the loyalty program, our regulars will also have the opportunity to sell their team gear and apparel at the official Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series merchandise trailer and fan engagement zone. More information about the fan engagement zone will be released soon.
The 2026 points fund will increase this season. The champion will earn $15,000, up from $12,000 last season. Second place will receive $8,000. Third will receive $6,000. Fourth will pay $4,000 and fifth will pay $3,000. A complete points fund breakdown is available in the official rulebook. The Rookie of the Year will also receive a $2,000 award at the end of the season.
The STSDS Tire Rule will also see slight adjustment from the 2025 season. Complete details are below…
