The Castrol Gateway Dirt Nationals presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts is officially returning in 2025, ’26 and ’27 at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Mo., event organizers announced Monday.

The additional three-year contract comes a day after registration for this year’s Dec. 5-7 event maxed out in 15 minutes. This year’s event marks the eighth running of Dirt Late Model racing’s indoor spectacle with Modifieds on the undercard.

Though an official car count has yet to be announced for the $30,000-to-win event with $5,000-to-win preliminaries that Thursday and Friday, last year’s Dirt Late Model event attracted 143 entries. The Modified portion remains invite-only.

Brandon Sheppard and Drake Troutman are reigning Gateway Dirt Nationals winners in the Dirt Late Model and Modified, respectively. Last year's Late Model prelim winners were Nick Hoffman and Ricky Thornton Jr., while Thornton and Jordan Grabouski won prelims in the Modified.
