Dirt Million Drivers List

I agree guys, you would think with walk up sales and concessions it would rise very quickly.

It just jumped $3,000 in the past 20 minutes

I'm trying to talk myself into buying the PPV but all I can think about is the DoD free broadcast from Mansfield earlier this year...

The free race earlier this year was run in 90 degree weather and was basically a daytime show because it did not get dark until after 9 pm. The sprint car events this season were run under entirely different conditions and the track had multiple grooves.

Hey, you do what you gotta do because after all, it is your money. I am just giving you something else to think about before you make the decision....

72 drivers on my list. Wonder how close it'll be...

With the kind of money he’s putting up, that’s kinda sad. You’d think they’d want to support this race. More money than they’ve ran for in quite a long time.

Agreed. Less than 100 cars would be a shame but unfortunately that’s probably a reality.

I went to the dirt million website according to them their are 99 drivers registered.

Is there any audio broadcast for this race I wont be home but would like to listen

My brother and I were talking about this earlier and we both think more drivers would have wanted to race it if they took some of the added money from the A main purse and paid the non transfers from the B mains. You could take half the money that was added and pay 40 drivers from the B main that failed to qualify (assuming 2 Bs with 20 non transfers from each) between 1500-2500 and still pay 150k to win/3k to start the A which is still a great feature payout.

I know it’s easy to suggest that when it’s not your money or event on the line but I think having 40 more opportunities to walk away with at least some cash would easily push the car count over the 100 mark.

Lucas tweeted as of 3 pm there are 72 cars on the grounds.

[Pennsboro23]

Looks like Jared Landers is there.

Drivers are more than ever running their operations like the race tracks......a business. At big events like this there are 10-15 drivers guaranteed to make the race based on performance and points (Bloomer, JD, Richards, Sheppard, etc), that doesn't leave a lot of spots left in the rest of the pits to fight over. We focus too much on total car count as a measure of an event's success or not. The track loves "field fillers" for the added income but it doesn't add to the enjoyment of the event in my opinion from the stands.

That's like the Dream or the World. If you give me the entire entry list of cars barring any odd things happening I could correctly pencil in about 23 starters of the 28 and 30 spots open.

Went to Moler for $3k instead.
