Larson, fresh off his second consecutive Knoxville Nationals win, has won six sprint car races in a row and will be the favorite to win the Wednesday night winged 360 sprint car race, which pays a whopping $7,000 to win.

Silver Dollar Speedway will host the highest-paying sprint car race in the track’s 62 years of existence during the 70th Anniversary of the Mike Curb Gold Cup Race of Champions presented by Napa Auto Parts scheduled for August 21 - 24. The famed quarter-mile clay oval dirt track will host the High Limit Racing Sprint Car Series for three incredible nights of racing culminating in the Saturday night main event in which the winner will receive the historic payday of $100,070.
With leadership from Brad Sweet, Kyle Larson and Colby Copeland, who together make up SLC Promotions, their goal was clear from day one when they took over the day-to-day operations at Silver Dollar Speedway: "to make Gold Cup great again."
The 70th Mike Curb Gold Cup Race of Champions presented by Napa Auto Parts will pay an unprecedented $100,070 to win and pushes this event to the highest-paying sprint car race on the West Coast.
“The goal between Kyle, Colby and I was always to make the Gold Cup one of the biggest sprint car races not only in California but across the country,” Sweet said. “All three of us grew up coming to the Gold Cup and we are excited to elevate this race to the next level.”
