In 2023 it marked the return of a few previous champions. Such as Tim Norwood, Gary Zipperian, and Eric Hellmuth. During the off season Eric Hellmuth made considerable changes to the car. It was kind of a craph shoot how these new changes would change his already proven combination. However at the first event of the year at Beaver Springs things looked good. Eric literally painted the car the day before and showed up for qualifying with the paint still wet from the day before. However that proved to be his lucky charm at the end of the day. Eric took over long time racer Tim Norwood in the final round and parked his car in winners circle to kick off the season with a bang. He also runnered up at the next event in Maple Grove. The championship came down to the final event at Mason Dixon. After going out in Round #2 it was a nail biter all the way to the finish. Once all the points were calculated he won the championship by 6 points over Tim Norwood. This is Eric's second championship with the series, he previously won in 2014, and finished 2nd in 2018. Congrats to Eric and his family for supporting our series since it's inception in 2013.
