PHOENIX, AZ - Still Time to Join: The Chase for $10,000
The 2026 FZ Shifter season is officially in full swing, but for those watching from the sidelines, the door isn’t closed yet. If you are a Junior driver looking to turn your laps into a massive payday, there is still time to sign up for the Gold Rush program.
As we head into the heart of the racing calendar, here is the latest update on the program status and the hunt for the $10,000 purse.
Points Standings Are Now Live:
The first few rounds of the season—including the action-packed kickoff at the America’s Trophy in Tucson—have already reshuffled the leaderboard. The official point standings are now updated and live on the FZ Shifter website.

With the "Double Main" format offering maximum point-scoring opportunities at tracks like AMP and Santa Maria, the standings can shift dramatically in a single weekend. Whether you're at the top of the board or looking to make your move, every heat matters.
You Can Still Sign Up:
Missed the first race? Don't sweat it. The Gold Rush is designed to be accessible throughout the season.
Pro-Tip:
You must register before you qualify for an event to begin banking points for that weekend.
Late Entry:
Even if you’ve missed earlier rounds, the high-point "Double Main" events later in the season offer plenty of opportunities to climb into the top five and secure a piece of the cash prize.
The Cost: A one-time $100 registration fee is all it takes to make your season results count toward the $5,000 grand prize.
