Raceday Report: Dream Thursday At Eldora

Dirt Late Model teams invade Eldora Speedway for the 29th Dirt Late Model Dream, featuring a total purse payout nearing $600,000 across the historic three-day event. Find results, lineups and updates from the 2023 Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway below.

What To Expect Thursday

Thursday is the first of two preliminary nights for the 29th Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway. Drivers have been split into two groups, with each group completing a full racing program that consists of hot laps, qualifying, heat races, b-mains and a 25-lap feature. Both feature races will pay $12,000 to win.

Drivers will earn points using Eldora's "Every Lap Matters" point system every time they're on the race track beginning with qualifying. Points earned on Thursday and Friday will help set the lineup for Saturday's heat races.
