The early entry deadline for the 2025 Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway has passed, with 96 drivers currently entered for the $100,000-to-win event at the Rossburg, Ohio dirt track.

Although the early deadline has closed, driver registration remains open. The entry list is expected to grow in the coming days as anticipation builds for the first night of preliminary action on Thursday, June 5.

The Dirt Late Model Dream remains one of the most prestigious events in the sport, and the current roster reflects a strong field preparing to contend for one of dirt racing’s biggest paydays.

Headlining the current entry list is three-time and defending Dirt Late Model Dream winner Jonathan Davenport, who has established himself as a dominant force at Eldora Speedway over the past decade. He is joined by a strong group of former Dream champions, including two-time winner Brandon Overton, 2019 winner Brandon Sheppard, 2016 winner Dennis Erb Jr., 2014 winner Dale McDowell, and 2012 winner Shane Clanton.

Other notable entries include defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Ricky Thornton Jr., defending World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion Bobby Pierce, 2023 Lucas Oil champion Hudson O'Neal, two-time Lucas Oil champion Tim McCreadie and Hunt The Front's Joseph Joiner. 

The complete list of early entries can be viewed at the bottom of this story. 

All entrants will be split with half running on Thursday and half on Friday in preliminary programs topped by 50-lap, $30,000-to-win qualifying features. Thursday and Friday’s preliminary points set the stage for Saturday’s heat races, preceding consolations and the 100-lap, $100,000-to-win Dream feature.

Over $620,000 will be up for grabs over the three-day event. When including Wednesday’s (June 4) FloRacing Night in America show, the total prize money will push the $700,000 mark for the week. A separate entry list for the FloRacing Night in America event will be released soon.
