In the 2023 season, we witnessed Kye Kelley securing the individual championship, a well-deserved achievement. Additionally, there was the team championship, highlighting the collective effort of the crews. However, there is a conspicuous absence of an official Invitational Champion, despite the intense competition in this category.

Earning the number one spot in the Invitational point standings is no easy feat, especially in a season that spans 15 races and involves competing against high-budget teams with some of the best tuners in the business.
