Dirt Late Model Triple Crown

[Central IL Dirt]

With all this talk of the horse racing triple crown, what would you consider the triple crown of our sport?

It's probably safe to say the first leg took place this past weekend...

[Scott Boesel]

World, Dream and DTWC

World, Dream and DTWC

i'll second that

[Pennsboro23]

Third that.

[SLMDIRTTM]

World, DTWC and any other crown jewel than the Dream. One track shouldn't have more than one race!

[BadlandsBandit12]

I agree with SLMDIRTTM. The World 100, DTWC, and Knoxville Nationals.

[Central IL Dirt]

Okay, next question. Has anyone ever won your triple crown?

[BadlandsBandit12]

Bloomquist came close last year!

Moyer in 2010 won The Dream, World and all 3 nights at Knoxville.

I dont know if you can really call it a Triple Crown, too many good races. DTWC, Dream, World 100, World Finals, Knoxville Nationals, Show Me 100 could be in the mix, i know im forgetting plenty, but out of all of them id say Dream because its $100,000 to win, World 100 Because of the history behind it and the famous globe trophy, and problably the Knoxville Nationals just because theres always great racing there. Just my personal opinion

[Highside Hustler25]

there are a whole lot of racers that would tell you that they would rather win the Dream than the World. That extra 50 some thousand has some clout.

Oley's Uncle Bloomer would tell ya so himself.

Any triple crown should occur on 3 different tracks and different part of the country. It should be made to show who is most versatile. I agree 1 of the 3 should be at Eldora. Maybe 1 at Knoxville. Then the last could be possibly Cedar Lake or ???? So long as its a racey track and not a follow the leader track. I would vote for Silver Dollar Nationals. Those who have never been are really missing out as the racing there is always top notch.

[W2Racing09]

World 100, Knoxville LM Nationals, and USA Nationals.

I think this year the DTWC is more important to many drivers, but most years it does not pay $100k.

Thanks,
Jeff.

I'd have agree with it being at 3 different tracks. The races have to have some history to I'd think to be in this deal. Knoxville is a big one, no doubt about it. But it hasnt been around long enough IMO to be in he triple crown.

World 100 are Dtwc definitely 2 would be in the running. Ceder Lake, North/South, and maybe the Hillbilly would be my other choices. I know the Hillbilly lost some of its luster a few years back, but it's the oldest 100 lapper we have and it does pay good money again now.

This makes for a good discussion though haha.

The World finals doesn't have the large payout, but as far as the drivers the attend it is a crown jewel in my opinion.
