In 2017 the event will have one single rd of qualifying for both Super Late Models and Open Wheel Modifieds. There will be a limit on Super Late Model entries of 150 cars and there will be no eliminations on Thursday night qualifying. Open Wheel Modifieds will be capped at 100 total entries with 50 of them coming from performance based results throughout the year at special events as well as specific invitations, including sanctioning body points systems and even fan voting results. The remaining 50 invitations will be received the traditional way and will be accepted first come first serve. Driver registration and entry info will be released at a later date.
Additionally, the event will host a $5,000 to win “Race Of Champions” event on Thursday night for Super Late Models. The ROC will have a variety of ways to qualify throughout the year but it is already known that Scott Bloomquist and Shannon Babb will be invited to compete in the ROC as previous race winners under the dome. Friday nights portion of the event will now feature two different A Mains for Super Late Models, both $5,000 to Win and $500 to start events. The field will be seeded upon qualifying and split, offering fans more racing and more action. Open Wheel Modifieds will have a single main event Friday December 15th at $5,000 to Win and $500 to start. Saturday December 16th will remain as a $10,000 to Win Open Wheel Modified main event and the Super Late Model main event will now be $30,000 to win and $2,000 to start. In addition, $30,000 in tow money has been added toward the event with an overall increase of over $100,000 in prize money over the prior year.

Nice to see them come through on the money end. I'm sure they'll improve on other things as well. Glad it's a go for 2017.

We all listened to what drivers and fans said needed to be improved. Added about $100,000 to the purses. Cody is a solid guy folks. He wants to take care of racers and fans. And we learn from mistakes.

Glad to see it! We had a heck of a good time watching along at home last year on DoD. If I didn't burn up all my vacation time during the season I'd swing on out, lol.

Will they be making public the purse structure? Think that will be important to teams & fans alike

They need to make the complete purses available as soon as possible. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from before
