Last year the Fan Dash was the biggest of all with Tyler Carpenter winner $490 and a lucky fan taking home $490. This is one of the most popular parts of the show and one lucky fan that wins will go onto the front stretch and present the money to the driver and the driver will present their money to them.The show consists of 2 laps of hotlap/qualifying, 8 lap heats, an 8 lap ULTIMATE Fan Dash, 12 lap B-Mains and the 5th Annual Mike Sampson Memorial 40 Lap Feature.
