LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (January 9, 2026) – Race For The Million (RFTM) announced today that the official event entry portal will open at 12 p.m. ET/ 9 a.m. PT on Tuesday, January 20.
As in any sport, time is of the essence as the time stamp on all RFTM entries will count toward team’s tire selection position. The first driver and car combination to enter the event will be given the first tire selection opportunity for the series opener on April 10 at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla.
Beginning with the second RFTM event at Owosso (Mich.) Motorsports Park on June 3, tire selection order will be established based on the official qualifying results from the previous race. Drivers who did not participate in the previous event will make their tire selection after those who did, and the order will be determined by the entry timestamp.

Hoosier Racing Tire will play a crucial role in ensuring optimal performances in all four RFTM events while providing the highly competitive tire compounds that the Hoosier brand is synonymous with in the sport.
