The Gateway Dirt Nationals brings two of dirt racing’s toughest divisions together inside the tight, high-banked indoor bullring at the Dome. 

Super Late Models showcase raw power and elite precision, while Open Wheel Modifieds deliver unmatched aggression and razor-sharp handling. 

With a short straightaway, heavy slide-jobs and constant pressure from the walls, the track demands flawless decision-making and fearless driving. Every lap is a battle for space, momentum and survival as national stars and rising talents collide under one roof. 

This is indoor dirt racing at its most intense—where only the sharpest and toughest rise to the top.

Check out past winners who've conquered the Dome's track.
