Is the Prairie Dirt Classic a Crown Jewel

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

My analysis is pretty simple. I have been a part of this stuff my whole life.

Crown Jewel = race I would enter and be proud to win if all I got was the trophy.

The Fairbury people are now calling this event a crown jewel.

The crown jewel handbook says you have to pay at least 50k and run 100 laps.

It is, without a doubt, a crown jewel.

Hudson O'Neal said after his win at Magnolia a few weeks ago, it was a "crown jewel" race, so I think we've reached the point that anything paying $20K or more to win, is a "crown jewel" in the eyes of someone, somewhere.

Where is the supposed handbook?

( Exactly , ) A track putting up 25,000.00 to win or more , That is ( their ) crown jewel .

[Planetzer0]

only 8 crown jewel events

World 100
DREAM 100
DTWC
USA Nationals
Show Me 100
Topless 100

Show Me was pretty cool back in the day. Now it is a hijacked name on a Lucas race that pays a little more. I don't see the big deal.

I enjoyed the Show Me in West Plains

According to the crown jewel handbook......No it is not a crown jewel.

So you have a copy of The Crown Jewel Handbook????? Cool!!!!!!

Silver Dollar Nationals hasnt been around long enough to be a crown jewel. If I was to pick a 9th one it would be the Hillbilly 100. But theres only 8 drivers really care to win.

[Planetzer0]

Probably Knoxville, DREAM, DTWC and World 100 should be the majors.

Actually when it was at West plain in 94-96, it paid 30k to winner and last place got 3k which Lucas pay that for 8th place. After 96 it went up 1k a year even the back mark too. The 2 years before Bloomquist won it in 08 “42k” it was paying 1st 40k, 16th-24th 4K vs Lucas 09 paying 1st 40k, 7th 4K, 24th 2k. Now under Lucas it’s 1st 30k, 1.2k for last. Before Lucas it payout all around much more.

Knoxville hasn’t been around all that long either.
