2012 CRL Global Cup

The 2012 CRL Global Cup Presented by FedEx will be the Continental Racing League Modified Division's first-ever slate of overseas races. The five races will count towards the overall 20-race championship, as well as its own championship battle, earning the nickname, "A Championship within a Championship." The driver who wins the Global Cup will be awarded $500,000, and earn an automatic berth into the last round of the overall championship, the 2012 CRL Grand Finale in Manhattan.

Schedule
