Standings Lead
Kvapil leads the CARS Tour LMSC championship at 204 points through six events, ahead of Treyten Lapcevich and Conner Jones (third at 177). The margin grew again at Langley, where Kvapil padded the lead despite the win going to Connor Hall, consistency at the front doing the work that race wins do not 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, the No. 88 program has converted on-track speed into program revenue at a rate no other LMSC entry has matched.
