‼️National 100 Purse Increase and Format Change‼️

The purse for the Super Late Model portion of the 49th annual National 100 Oct. 28-29 at East Alabama Motor Speedway has been increased to $49,000 to win and will pay at least $2,000 to every feature starter. The event will also return to a two-day format with prelims Saturday and the main event Sunday.

More details coming Monday. 🏁

Wow! That kinda money will get some attention no doubt.

[champion24]

Still many won't go!!! Sad!

[Highside Hustler25]

Is this the famous 24 hours of Alabama race?

[SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS]

Do they still have racing without an ambulance on the premises?

[Punisher88]

They have local EMS and ambulance on-site at all times now. The culture has changed, but the long weekend remains.

[Henry Every]

We always referred to it jokingly as, the 72 Hours of Phenix City, but I enjoyed every minute, so... If you don't like it, you don't have to come. From 1986 up thru when the World Finals race started scheduling on top of the National 100, this race and the Blue Grey 100 @ Cherokee was how we concluded our season. Most seasons it coincided with the Final Nascar race at Atlanta which we listened to on the radio simultaneously during the day and most years on the way home. With the way our country and economy are headed I think taking a more positive view on things is better for the long term health of the sport overall instead of posting back handed and derogatory comments that don't add to the conversation.

[Dirt Clod]

Come one, come all! No doubt the pit gate is a cash cow!

I can't even fathom that many classes. But if it works, good for them.
Crown Vics? that's something new for me.
They once had a mini van class near me but it fizzled out.

[kidrock]

Was it Hunt to the front that raced Crown Vic's at Bristol?

[fastford]

good luck with this endeavor HTF , but watch your back , there is a screwing around every corner down there .....

[Oiler]

Was it Hunt to the front that raced Crown Vic's at Bristol?
Yep...the won it too. We went by the track that Saturday (burnout day) on the way down to Johnson City and you wouldn't have known anything was going on. Barely any traffic heading in.

I didn't know they won it. I was pretty sure they were in the race but, wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the confirmation.

[Punisher88]

good luck with this endeavor HTF , but watch your back , there is a screwing around every corner down there .....As a said above. The culture has changed tremendously. Billy is no longer in any managerial role.

Hunt to the? L

[Raceready]

Was it Hunt to the front that raced Crown Vic's at Bristol?They say that Ford has a better idea. They hit the mark on those there Crown Vickys ! ! One final resourse to the classic rear wheel drive machine.

[Dirt Clod]

Crown Vics are very popular here in Central Indiana. They race both on dirt and pavement, and some guys will run their cars on both. They are popular to watch because they are solid, like tanks and their rules have been enforced. Hopefully owners won't begin abusing the rules and drive the costs up. Not sure if anyone saw the Crown Vic race at Winchester, IN Speedway this summer on FLO but it was wheel to wheel and a closer finish than the Silver Crown cars.

[One Man Gang]

They popular all over the south especially Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana not as race cars but ghetto gliders with 24” gold rims and low profile tires.

[84wedge]

I can't believe there was a time I paid for the PPV of this event on DoD.

[Dlmfan123]

I can't believe there was a time I paid for the PPV of this event on DoD.It was worth it cuz something crazy all ways happened

thats great news punisher , been wanting to go back for a while now , lets see how this year goes and maybe next year .....BTW ole billy got to be getting some age on him now ......

[Fast Wheels]

Wow! That kinda money will get some attention no doubt.

It probably won’t get attention. $50,000 races these days are a dime a dozen. The front end payoffs have been jacked up so much that $50k doesn’t feel huge anymore.

[84wedge]

It was worth it cuz something crazy all ways happenedOne year I watched them roll over the same area of track during prep for one hour straight. Back and forth back and forth.

[Henry Every]

I think it would be cool if they included some sprints, midgets or some of those southern big block mods from over in Mississippi/Louisiana.

[4wide]

I think is huge deal for National 100.Think HTF is really trying to get this race back to where it was. Talked with them at TST other day and they are putting a lot of effort in it. 50,000 to win 2000 to start hard to ignore.

[4wide]

RTJ and Madden committed to coming.

[Pennsboro32]

Dennis Erb, Dale McDowell

[4wide]

Have the best field in probably 5 years committed to coming good money and great weather should be fun.

[Oiler]

Is this being streamed anywhere? Not seeing it Flo.

It does sound like here that they are at least trying to change the culture of this race as mentioned above. This will probably be the best field this race has seen in quite awhile.

[champion24]

Who is there? They really got a break with great weather!

Haven't all of the old Crown VICs been destroyed yet?

[baltimore]

Cash for Clunkers

[Raceready]

Haven't all of the old Crown VICs been destroyed yet?They will finish them all off in the next Blues Brothers movie ! !

[over4T]

At least I'll find another use for my old Crown Vic when/if it ever dies. It's 20+ years now of reliable, comfortable and decent performing with the Interceptor package and the end isn't even remotely in sight. Hope I'm never forced into an electric POS. I'd rather ride a Cushman scooter.

[Buford.Justice]

^Jake and Elroy switched from Dodge to Ford?

The Blues Brothers ride again... Cool!

It's Elwood!!! :)

[jog49]

Wow! That kinda money will get some attention no doubt.

Yes, but not enough to get it televised, as far as I can find!

[KTMLew]

[KTMLew]

Appears HTF has bought everyone off so no results are released until they are ready to post a vijeo. I don't watch their TV deal. I'm pinching my pennies for other use. Need to build a 4L60E for my truck. Gathering tools & parts! Anybody want to donate to the cause? I figure around $500,000.00 should do.

[KTMLew]

And...they just posted heat race...

[jog49]

With 10 classes, the event might be ongoing here on Sunday AM!!

[KTMLew]

https://youtu.be/YqeS3RCCeQA?si=uS_33FKgcEIb2F-Q

Put Jesse behind the wheel of that HTF 10 car and I guarantee you better results, give him some dam seat time!!

How bout that ZERO car? Smile

No. Just no. I'll take 20 years of experience over Jesse less-than-a-season. Some of you have lost your mind.

[mskdorf]

Thank you for posting a link to those heats. Wasn’t expecting to see that 0 car with someone I have never heard of in it. Anyone have any idea about what time the supers will start?

[KTMLew]

Well, ya know... If ya don't give a guy a chance then we'll never know. I feel Jesse, (with seat time) has what it takes but you're right, not taking anything away from Jo Jo, he just ain't gettin'er done...

Second race with the Clements. Might take a few to figure things out. Main thing they need is a shock dyno & someone to run it. Plus somebody to do better bolt check.

[Raceready]

With 10 classes, the event might be ongoing here on Sunday AM!!Hopefully they get done in time before church starts ? ?

[castone]

Looks like HTF series are shooting themselves in the foot, with all the classes and running the Super race dead last Sunday night - not a loaded field of Big Dogs for the $49,000 and 2,000 to start it should be, and some of them have been there 4 days, but they have got really lucky with the weather !

[ftfiowa]

good luck RTJ!

[Dirt Clod]

I pity those late model guys that literally have been sitting there since Thur or Fri, waiting to run this race late Sunday night. The B-main guys finally ran their 10 lap B-features at 7:15pm. Talk about being held hostage at a racetrack. Guess they want to race bad.

[dirtfaced]

The drivers didn’t have to come Thursday or Friday. They could have showed up mid-afternoon like Winger did yesterday. They know what they signed up for with this weekend.

[castone]

Madden-Owens-Bronson-RTJ-T erb-D Erb-S Seawright in that order !

[Highside Hustler25]

Evidently when you're head cheez you get a free invite for the feature. Lol

[Raceready]

https://youtu.be/tDWETpXip24?si=Ms1ZTvOtfBCIQz6bThose old geezers took young Kyle Bronson to school in that one for sure ! ! Those clips with racing at the beginning showed that there Tyler Erb all over the track ! !
