BRISTOL TO PAY $50K FOR SUPER LATEMODELS
The inaugural Bristol Dirt Nationals, March 15-20, has added seven additional classes from multiple sanctioning bodies to join the Super Late Models and round out the weeklong extravaganza of dirt track racing that will offer an overall combined purse of more than $400,000, it was announced today by Bristol Motor Speedway officials.
The mega showcase of dirt track racing will feature many of the most highly-decorated competitors from across the United States with heavy participation expected from the East and Southeast and a large contingent of drivers traveling to Thunder Valley from the Midwest.
The powerful Super Late Models will headline the Bristol Dirt Nationals and will run full shows on both Friday and Saturday nights, with the marquee $50,000-to-win 50-lap grand finale on Saturday night closing out the historic event. On Friday night, the Super Late Models will close out the night’s racing with a 50-lap feature race that will pay $10,000-to-win.
Other classes to hit the famed Bristol Motor Speedway high banks during the highly-anticipated event include Modifieds, Sport Mods, Stock Cars, 602 and 604 Late Models (crate engine packages), Hornets (compacts) and Open Modifieds. Due to pit space considerations, all supporting divisions will be limited to 150 entries per class. The Super Late Models will not have an entry cap.
There will be heat and feature races on each day early in the week to set the fields for the main feature races in each of the seven support classes during the weekend. On Friday, there will be a 30-lap main for Sport Mods that pays $5,000 to the winner; a 30-lap main for the 602 Late Models that also pays the winner $5,000; and a 30-lap Modified feature that pays $7,500-to-win. On Saturday, there will be a 16-lap Hornet main that pays $2,000-to-win; a 30-lap Stock Car feature that pays $5,000 to the winner; a 30-lap 604 Late Model race that pays $7,500-to-win; and a 30-lap Open Modified feature that will pay the winner $10,000. All classes will award payouts to the top 24 finishers in the feature events.
Driver registration will be available starting Dec. 21 at www.bristoldirt.com. The event offers open registration and entry is on a first come, first served basis.
More details, including class breakdowns, participant entry fees, competition schedules, full purse breakdown information and event format will be announced soon. Information regarding spectator tickets (Friday and Saturday only), and camping availability will be announced in the new year.

Super Late Model - Drivers Entered

[dirtcrazy4u]

WOW, the place will be packed

[squaredup12]

Got a room booked and waiting on tickets to go on sale!...stoked about this! Only hiccup I saw with driver entry is that it’s scheduled on top of Lucas at Atomic and Brownstown...

[jp631989]

World Outlaw races added to Bristol for April.-----April 8-10, the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series will headline the action in the World of Outlaws Bristol Bash, accompanied by the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds. April 22-24 for the World of Outlaws Bristol Throwdown, joined by the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds.

[EvelB7]

Most classes reached 150 entries (max) before the end of the day yesterday....Expected it to be big, had no idea it would fill up that fast!

[71PRPFan]

How many classes?? Isn’t that EAMS all over again?

[zyoung25]

I love racing just as much as anyone, I dont think I can sit through a hornet race at a race track that size. I hope they have some good tech people looking over these cars when the time comes. There are some absolute death traps in that class.

I'm unsure if I'll attend this one now with the outlaws locking down a show there a month later.

[TerryM]

WOW, the place will be packed
No, it won’t be. Not even close. We were considering going, but after seeing more details, we will pass. I’m sure a lot of people will feel the same way.

[Tireguy17]

Far too many classes and cars for me to want to sit thru. There are going to be some late nights. If I was able to go, I'd rather goto 1 of the WoO weekends.

[WisWildManFan]

only super lates are running full shows fri and sat. The 6 other divisions are only running a feature, 3 on friday, 3 on saturday.

[NeedforLM$peed]

If you scroll down in the link it tells you the schedule breakdown for the whole week. I don't believe every class is racing everyday. I saw in the comments a entry list might be revealed in a few days

https://racexr.com/events/bristoldirt/?fbclid=IwAR3K73LZkF0VyMmV7tDDNDZnuBysVEcNhBF9-7rIOUjS0dWdY0lY3q50y4Y

[Pennsboro32]

Yeah, Friday and Saturday late model shows don't look bad.

[Rajflyboy]

Bloomer is going to win the SLM race

[PushinTheLimit]

For the 604's, you gotta be there Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Pretty much kills the entire week for some of the support classes. I decided to pass on racing this event cause I couldn't commit to that with my work schedule unfortunately. What I hope some guys need to understand is they will be spending a huge amount of their yearly budget just on this one week. Should be interesting and great exposure for those that are going, but I couldn't justify it.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Bloomquist is registered in 3 divisions

IMCA Modified - #0
UMP / USMTS Modified - #0
Super Late Model - #0

[squaredup12]

Where are you seeing the current entry list?

The bloomquist post was off of Facebook about him running 3 divisions.

[shaferz]

Like TerryM - we considered going, but expect it will be a complete clusterf*ck with so many classes and cars.

Unless things change significantly, we may make the trip down for the WoO LM weekend.

Did you read the part where not every class is running the same days.

[noitall93w]

This will be a sh!t show

[NeedforLM$peed]

This will be a sh!t show

Why???????

[GRT24]

I’m convinced that if it was 100k to win, $5.00 gen admission, only supers running people would still find something to complain about. It’s good for the sport in a whole. If you are a team like us that doesn’t run supers and have no desire too anymore we get a chance to race somewhere cool and different. We run 602 and are grateful for the opportunity to race somewhere like Bristol. All I hear is we have to support grass roots racers. Well guess who races in the lower divisions?

[WisWildManFan]

Exactly there are a lot of guys who will be able a to say they raced at Bristol which is awesome. Too me by the time you weed out the other divisions I wouldn’t think Friday and Saturday would be bad. I just wish I lived a little closer than 12 hours away because I have to choose which of the 3 weekends to go to. I’m thinking maybe the sprints and bbm’s for something different. I feel watching a sprint car go around that place may be a must see.

[Dlmfan123]

Honestly I'm leaning towards sprints and big blocks too

[WisWildManFan]

If lucas shuffled their schedule the late model weekend would intrigue me more.

[LM1M]

Already 84 super late models registered, unbelievable!

[fastford]

I agree with post 27 and 28 100% , bench racers gone complain though , always have and always will , I personally think this is great for the total sport of dirt racing and All Racers Count ........

Spot on!

Alltech is a local track for me and theyre having 2 Lucas races. The 15k to win race has a purse of $51,550 and people are complaining about the $40 general admission price!

Racetracks arent UNICEF and deserve to make a healthy profit esp when theyre putting out that kind of money!

[50Dixon50]

Already 84 super late models registered, unbelievable!
How did you find that out

[dirtcrazy4u]

Terry M I think a lot of people that wanted but didn't go will be there plus those that did go and your going to see big crowds. Myself, health concerns won't let me be there.

[WisWildManFan]

How did you find that outIt’s on the Bristol dirt nationals facebook page

[bullring]

One thing I've learned if a special event comes up and you think you want to see it, you'd better go. So many events only lasted one year or possibly 2. I missed the last time Bristol was dirt. I won't do it again.

[3 wide]

Well I read all the details an they are going to run the heats during the week which will help them on Friday an Saturday night but I would almost bet they don't have 150 cars in any class and it rains a lot in March in Tennessee probably not going to race all week without rain.

[PAbigbear]

All divisions except super lates reached 150 cars already.

[3 wide]

I think woo in April will be a lot better I just see a lot of problems with the march races.

[dirtcrazy4u]

It will probably get rained out :(

[dirt crow]

I ain’t got time to read all the ends and outs. So how many classes are running same days as supers 10 and 50k’s???

[WisWildManFan]

3 features each night of other divisions

[dirt crow]

3 features each night of other divisions

Ugh. But could be worse.

[WisWildManFan]

If it’s the top 24 guys from those divisions out of 150 entries the features should be pretty clean I would think.

[GregA12]

I think I’ve seen a show with almost 300 crate Late Models in my nightmares but in all seriousness, this looks like it could be the blockbuster show a generation type stuff if all goes as hoped and planned.

[3 wide]

Saturday night will be 4 featured plus the big 50 lap race which still want be too bad if they got the lineups set I don't understand why they are drawing so many cars there are a lot of crate races over the year that pay more money

[WisWildManFan]

Saturday night will be 4 featured plus the big 50 lap race which still want be too bad if they got the lineups set I don't understand why they are drawing so many cars there are a lot of crate races over the year that pay more moneyIt’s a status thing to say you raced at Bristol.

Racing at Bristol is a bigger deal to me than racing at Eldora.
