      Its not worth the argument. I know a older gentleman that's in his 70s and got confused on the title of the race. This guy visits probably 20 races a year, and doesn't keep up everything else that goes on in the sport. That would be my definition of a casual fan, but what do I know?

        Then the public schools that they attended failed miserably at teaching reading comprehension because there is absolutely no reason to be confused when everything has always been spelled out on the website. Any "casual" fan who is that clueless probably never travels to any tracks further than an hour away and is likely completely oblivious to the Earl's Million as well.

          Taking the name too literally again, so if you win the World 100? What does that mean it's just a race in Ohio. It's still the highest paying race by far for the year. What do you care if it pays a million or not are you getting a cut of the purse?

            Yep.....tuned into the Topless 100 last weekend and didn't see even one topless female, much less 100!

            That was definitely false advertising!

              Definitely.

              Though in Arkansas, I’m going to pass on the topless option.
              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                Enjoy the event & be thankful we have it regardless of the name. We have the World 100, Dirt Track World Championship & the World Finals and I doubt any drivers other than Weiss & Stubber are from outside the United States! It just seems a lot of people have been negative toward this event since the announcement last year. Why get all wadded up over the naming- & “no” if one can read it is not falsely promoted. Just my thoughts that’s all.

                    I hope I’m wrong, but I feel this event will last about as long as the Colossal 100 did. Gonna enjoy it while we got it.

                      Highest paying race by far for the year?

                      Last I checked $92,xxx was less (BY FAR) than $125,000.

                        In all fairness the dream probably would not have raised its purse if it had not been for the million paying so much last year

                          There’s not a late model race this year where 2nd place is paying $46,000 +.
                          Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

                            Steve Smith received 50k for finishing 2nd to Donnie Moran at Eldora’s Million. J.B. Hunt was the major $$ man behind that event. Cody probably won’t return next year with Mansfield Raceway-who knows? There could be another J.B. Hunt out there somewhere looking to unload 1/2 million $$- lol!
                            If it doesn’t come back next year-the same folks will be complaining that it was a fluke. I was there last year & was entertained by racing. Will be there tomorrow & I hope for the same this year!
                            If it doesn’t return -I can at least say I attended all of them just like the Colossal at Charlotte.
                            Enjoy it while we can- there are no guarantees for tomorrow!!

                              99% sure Steve Smith got 100k for 2nd in the Eldora Million. Maybe his cut was 50 and C J 50.
