The Gateway Dirt Nationals return to the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis from Dec. 4-6. With a record $70,000 total payout for Saturday’s main event and top performances from top talent, the ninth annual competition promises must-see action.

For three action-packed nights, Super Late Models and Open Wheel Modifieds attack the tight, high-intensity indoor dirt track in a battle for huge payouts and ultimate bragging rights. 

Thursday and Friday set the tone with high-stakes prelims, while Saturday explodes with the marquee finales, including the Super Late Model Main Event paying $50,000 to win plus a $20,000 bonus. Modifieds throw down for their own massive prize: a $20,000 total victory haul.
