Only six drivers from the Late Model and Modified divisions have earned their way into Saturday's feature events at the 2025 Kubota Gateway Dirt Nationals inside The Dome at America's Center.

For everyone else, that means they must flaw their way toward a top-two transfer position among six Late Model qualifiers and four Modified qualifiers should Gateway Arch trophy hopes remain alive.

Late Model prelim winners Bobby Pierce and Ricky Thornton Jr. are locked into the 40-lap, $70,000-to-win feature, while Mike Harrison, Mark Whitener, Brandon Sheppard and Brenden Smith are also locked in. In the Modified, prelim winners Thornton and Harrison, plus Dallon Murty, Ryan Ayers, Trent Young and Carlos Ahumada Jr., are locked into the 30-lap, $20,000-to-win main event.

See below for complete Late Model and Modified qualifier and non-qualifier lineups as on-track activity begins at 4 p.m. ET Saturday live on FloRacing.
