This December, the roar of dirt late model racing will once again take over St. Louis, MO as the Gateway Dirt Nationals returns to The Dome at America's Center for a weekend of high-octane, high-speed, dirt-slinging action around the largest indoor oval track.

Amongst the crowds swarming the venue are some of the best super late model dirt drivers in the country, from reigning champion Brandon Sheppard to former winner Bobby Pierce, and many more—there's almost always someone on the oval worth watching.

It all begins on Thursday, Dec. 4 and continues through Saturday night, when more than six figures in winnings will have been awarded to just a handful of the nearly 200 competitors across Modified and Late Models.

The 2025 Gateway Dirt Nationals are streaming live on FloRacing this December. Here's what to know about watching it live Dec. 4-6.
