Fletch Racing will fund cash bonuses for the Quick 32 Sportsman Series at Toronto Motorsports Park, Cayuga, on Victoria Day Weekend, anchoring the NHRA National Open double‑header.

Winners in Top Dragster and Top Sportsman receive an extra $2,000, with $1,000 to each runner‑up on both race days, supplementing standard payouts and sharpening early‑season competitive stakes.

The event spans May 15‑17, with Friday Test and Tune preceding qualifying and eliminations on Saturday and Sunday, formally launching the 2026 Canadian schedule at Cayuga.

Bill Fletcher says the programme recognises the series’ depth and the teams’ commitment, reinforcing a longstanding partnership that has helped establish the Victoria Day meeting as a season benchmark.

The bonuses target the headline Quick 32 classes but sit within a broader John Scotti Canadian Championship programme running alongside other NHRA categories during the double‑header.

The weekend also features Can‑Am Stock/Super Stock, Nostalgia Super Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, and Junior Dragster, expanding track time and audience appeal across Sportsman disciplines.

Crucially, competitors collect NHRA grade points, influencing entries for larger national events and keeping the pursuit of the Wally trophy central to weekend strategy and participation decisions.

Series director Bruce Mehlenbacher credits the Fletcher family’s decades of support, calling the extra funding a practical boost for teams investing travel, parts, and testing to start the year strongly.

Structurally, the double‑header format means two complete event days, maximising earning potential and track learning, while increasing pressure on turnarounds, crew execution, and tune‑up calls.

The September Labour Day Weekend meeting returns as the second major stop, offering another high‑value target for Quick 32 teams and a comparative form guide heading into the late season.

With enhanced payouts, efficient scheduling, and NHRA points on offer, the Cayuga opener incentivises strong entries and should deliver tight qualifying margins and decisive eliminations across both headline classes.

The alignment of sponsor backing and series objectives underlines a stable platform for 2026, with tangible rewards that convert grassroots investment into measurable competitive momentum.
