According to a press release, the two brands are teaming up for the "Flodium" program, which will debut during the 2026 season. This bonus program, which FloSports funded, will pay out $90,000 over the course of the season.
The CARS Tour is the premier Late Model touring series in the Southest. Its ownership group features Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Burton, Kevin Harvick, and Justin Marks.
The Late Model Stock Car Tour will receive $50,000 of this money while the Pro Late Model Tour will receive $40,000. Another $10,000 will be split between the two divisions. One driver from each division will receive $5,000 at the end of the year based on the number of Flodium podium finishes.
The new bonus program divides the CARS Tour season into three-race segments. A driver can secure a spot in the respective segments by scoring a podium finish in the two preceding races. Up to six drivers will then battle for three races, with one locking up $10,000 at the end of each segment.
"It's exciting to watch FloRacing continue to invest and pour into the zMAX CARS Tour," Earnhardt Jr. said in a press release. "This year, we wanted to do something that encompasses all competitors and provides more frequent benefits to them all season long.
"This is going to be a fun way to challenge our drivers and create a storyline within the race itself for our fans and broadcast to follow. Commitments like Flodium make me feel like they not only believe in what we're doing, but are investing in our long-term success."
This is not the first time that FloSports and the CARS Tour have joined forces for a big payday. They also did so in August 2025 with the Throwback Classic.
This event took place at Hickory Motor Speedway in North Carolina on Aug. 3, 2025, one day later than expected due to inclement weather.
The Throwback Classic delivered a record-setting $200,000 prize pursue, including $50,000 to the winner of the Late Model Stock Car race and $30,000 to the winner of the Pro Late Model race. Mini Tyrrell won the $50,000 while Spencer Davis won the $30,000.
