Extra sponsorship program to benefit 2025 Challenge Series champion in 2026

ST. CLOUD, MN - In 2025, the Structural Buildings WISSOTA Late Model Challenge Series Champion will not only receive the largest point fund check in series history, but they will now also receive a $2,500 sponsorship during the 2026 season, courtesy of Chad Stewart and Structural Buildings.

The 2025 champion will take home a $12,000 championship check, along with many contingency prizes. Stewart and his company have again gone above and beyond and will add on an additional $2,500 sponsorship from Structural Buildings for the series champion. The sponsorship will go toward the 2026 season with details of what that looks like yet to be defined.

“I really wanted to come up with something a little extra, in addition to the biggest point fund payout in series history,” said Steward. “These are truly exciting times for the Challenge Series as we continue to work hard to elevate everything about this great series. So, we wanted to make some more additional efforts to entice as many drivers as we possibly can to follow us and compete for the 2025 championship, especially after the great championship battle that we had a year ago. We are proud to support the series and are always looking for creative ways to giving back to racers who support us and the series.”

Kevin Burdick, Jeff Provinzino and defending series champion Cole Searing have already picked up wins with the series so far in 2025, with Shane Sabraski sitting atop the point standings by a single point heading into the next event.
