Purse in the World
ROSSBURG, Ohio (May 15, 2015) – The entry form for the 21st annual
$100,000-to-win Dirt Late Model Dream Weekend presented by Ferris
Commercial Mowers on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 4, 5 and 6 has
been posted at
http://www.eldoraspeedway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2015Dream_Entry.pdf.
The Dirt Late Model Dream, sanctioned by DIRTcar, is the richest dirt
late model race in the world with $100,000 going to the winner of
Saturday night’s 100-lap feature event. A total purse of $306,625 is
available for the three nights of racing, including $214,875 available
on Saturday.
The format for 2015 has been changed slightly from 2014 to streamline
Thursday and Friday’s preliminary programs and give racers more
opportunities to improve their seeding for Saturday’s traditional six
qualifying Heat Races.
On Thursday and Friday, multi-car group qualifying, using groups coming
from a random draw at inspection, will be used to determine that
group’s heat race lineup. The driver’s fastest time from Thursday and
Friday will be used as a tiebreaker, if necessary, for Saturday’s
lineups.
The preliminary format plans for eight heat races of eight laps in
distance. Cars finishing first through fifth advance into one of two
A-Features and the balance of the finishers will advance into one of
two B-Features.
Heats one, three, five and seven will determine the first A-Feature and
at least one B-Feature. Heats two, four, six and eight will determine
the second A-Feature and at least one B-Feature. The B-Features are 10
laps and assuming Eldora has four B-Features, cars finishing first and
second will advance to their respective A-Feature.
Each preliminary night will continue to run two A-Features of 25-laps,
starting 24 cars. Starting positions one through 20 will be lined up by
heat race finish. The redraw procedure will be detailed at the driver
meeting. Starting positions 21 through 24 will be lined up by B-Feature
finish.
The winner of the Thursday night races gets $2,500, while Friday it
moves up to $5,000.
On Saturday night, there will be six heat races of 15 laps in distance.
Pre-invert lineups established by average finish from preliminary
nights in staggered order with ties broken by
1) Best finish from Thursday or Friday races
2) Fastest qualifying time
3) Postmark of entry blank
The inversion, up to six cars, will be determined randomly. Cars
finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the heat races advance to the Dirt Late
Model Dream presented by Ferris Mowers. Cars finishing fourth through
11th advance to a B-Feature, in order of finishing position.
Heats one, two and three will determine the first B-Feature and heats
four, five and six will determine the second B-Feature. There will be
two B-Features of 20 laps in distance. Cars finishing first through
fourth will advance to the Dirt
Late Model Dream presented by Ferris Commercial Mowers. The remaining
cars may choose to restart in their current running order for a
B-Scramble of five laps in distance.
The two fastest qualifiers not advancing through the Heat Races will
start 19th and 20th in the Dirt Late Model Dream presented by Ferris
Commercial Mowers (if they finished in a B-Feature qualifying position,
they will be removed and the finish of that Heat Race adjusted
accordingly).
The Dirt Late Model Dream present by Ferris Commercial Mowers will be
100 laps in distance, starting 28 cars.
Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Georgia was the 2014 winner rallying from
the 22nd starting position. Defending World 100 champion Scott
Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tennessee has six Dream wins, the most of any
driver.
