Dirt Million

If the race had a different name, I don't think people would care as much about the hype for it. And it should have a different name.

The drivers and race teams know the story and so do the fans about the name. Big deal,,,,,

From a fan standpoint, there was a lot of confusion last year. Now, I think most understand the misdirection.

I had no confusion at all, all it takes is knowing how to read and comprehend what was read.

I agree, but it’s still a stupid name.

My post #10 may be incorrect depending on the total purse. I wasn’t aware the winner’s share has been reduced from 50% to 30%.

The name didn't bother me the first race since it had a chance to reach a million but obviously it will never see that. It doesn't bother me now either but it could use a different name now.

Yes, if you took the time to research. A casual fan saw a "million dollar race" on the Lucas schedule and thought it was the second coming of Earl Baltes's show.

A casual fan probably would have never heard of Earl's Million or remembered it. Would that same casual fan see the Dirt Track World Championship on the schedule and expect to see several different countries represented there?

Exactly gear head, you gotta few on here that thinks eldora is the greatest thing ever and if some tries to do something for the sport they gotta trash it because it's not as good or ever will be eldora.

No matter how you look at it it's a pretty stout purse thats not just top heavy it pays pretty good though the field all three nights

Maybe a 15 year old casual fan. Never heard of the biggest deal in the history of dirt late model races? Give me a break. You cant take yourself seriously. I ran across more than one person who was confused.

So what? The guy took a shot at it it didn't reach a million still had a huge turn out and besides it not being a million to win had a better payout down the line for the other guys. It not reaching a million didn't hurt my experience at all, but of course people whine and moan and knit pick (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) to death.

Very possible that nobody is going to be able to argue about the "Dirt Million" one way or the other come this time next year.
