■ An invitation-only $ 100,000 All-Star Shootout will be contested on September 6 , 2023 at the Summer Fling in Columbus , Ohio . Forty-eight of the best bracket racers in the country will be handpicked to compete for the $ 100,000 winner-take-all purse and bragging rights .

A panel from the Flings Race Series will choose the first 12 All- Star drivers on January 3rd , while the next 12 will be nominated by racers in an online vote . The 24 selected drivers will then each choose a teammate of the opposite vehicle type to complete the 48-car field . The teammates will be placed on opposite sides of the ladder .
