The four-race series is hosted by Rockingham Dragway, Piedmont Dragway, Farmington Dragway and Galot Motorsports Park (formerly Dunn-Benson).

At each event, champions will be crowned on both Saturday and Sunday with series points awarded for both participation and rounds won.  Top Eliminator race winners will earn $5,000 with $1,500 to the runners-up and $500 each to the losing semifinalists.

Although the entry fee is being waived in the newly-designated Modified category, winners nevertheless will earn $1,000 on each day of competition.  In addition to Top Eliminator and Modified, Jr. Dragster champions also will be determined on a daily basis with competition in the first three rounds restricted by age – 11 and under drivers on one side of the bracket; 12 and older on the other.

Defending champions in the Hoosier Carolina Coalition Series as Charlie Doss of Statesville in Top Eliminator, Terry Rucker of Benson in Mod and Ashleigh Stafford of Kernersville in Jr. Dragster.
