Lowe's Quadruple Crown

From Super Touring Auto Racing Series
Jump to navigationJump to search

The Lowe's Quadruple Crown is a championship contested since 2017 in the STARS Lowe's International Series. Winners from the Crown Jewel race events at New York, Atlanta, Kansas and Indianapolis are eligible for the Quadruple Crown title, with the driver who finishes the highest at the season finale being given the honours. If a driver wins more than one Quadruple Crown event during a season, the next best finishing driver not already in the running will be entered for the accolade.

In 2031, the Quadruple Crown schedule changed, with Kansas Speedway replacing Chicagoland Speedway as a Quadruple Crown event. Chicagoland had previously hosted a race from 2023 onwards, having replaced Texas World previously.
