The inaugural season will feature 47 races at 11 different tracks, showcasing the depth and tradition of Central Pennsylvania sprint car racing.

Winners are guaranteed at least $6,000 at every event and the features are a minimum of $600 to take the green; several events will push well beyond that mark.
These 47 series events represent exclusive 410 sprint car dates at each participating track and are in addition to every track’s individual schedule.

The majority of Central PA 410 Sprint Car Series events will utilize time trials to set heat race lineups. Select races—such as Opening Day programs or daytime shows—may instead use a draw/redraw format or timed hot laps to determine heat race lineups. This flexibility ensures each event operates efficiently under varying track and weather conditions while maintaining competitive balance across the series.
All series events will operate under each track’s established rulebook, ensuring consistency and fairness at every venue.

To reward both performance and consistency, officials have established a detailed points structure for every series event. The feature winner receives 70 points, second place is awarded 65 points, and third place earns 62 points, with the points awarded decreasing by two points each position through 24th place. Each non-qualifier receives 10 points towards their series point total.
