The Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway, set for Saturday, June 8, boasts the highest payout in Late Model dirt racing. The winner of the main race will take home a staggering $100,030, reaffirming its status as the premier event on the schedule. 

When it debuted in 1994, the Late Model Dream was groundbreaking as the first six-figure race in the sport, setting a new standard for payouts.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of this iconic event, continuing its tradition of attracting top talent. Second place will earn $30,000, third place $20,000, with the payouts continuing generously down to $6,000 for 17th through 26th place.

Favorites like Jonathan Davenport, last year's winner, is looking for a substantial payday, but more importantly join the ranks of some of the greatest drivers in the history of Late Model racing who have won The Dream. 

Race events begin on June 6 and the final race is at 8 p.m. on Saturday and is streaming on FloRacing and the FloSports app.
