Standings Lead
Kvapil leads Treyten Lapcevich (#77L Chad Bryant Racing) by 22 points, with Conner Jones (#44 Carroll Speedshop) third at 177. The cushion grew from 15 points after Caraway to 22 after Ace despite Kvapil being out-podiumed at Ace by winner Kaden Honeycutt (#17 one-off) and runner-up Lapcevich — consistency at the front is doing the work that race wins don't have to.
The Flodium Haul
CARS Tour and FloSports launched a $100,000 Flodium content-creation bonus program for the 2026 season, with $10,000 awarded at designated events. Kvapil has claimed both of his division's bonuses so far — Nashville (LMSC win) and Ace (LMSC P3). At $20,000 in Flodium money alone through five events, the No. 88 program has converted on-track speed into program revenue at a rate no other LMSC entry has matched.
