Thursday’s field is anchored by reigning World 100 winner Ricky Thornton Jr., '25 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Devin Moran and '24 World 100 winner Bobby Pierce. Current Lucas Oil points leader Hudson O’Neal, who leads all drivers with 13 overall victories this season, adds to Thursday's stacked roster.
Former World 100 winner Tim McCreadie, three-time Dream runner-up Chris Madden and Tyler Erb — fresh off Friday's $100,000 score at Mansfield Speedway — are among Thursday's contestants.
Friday’s roster is just as stout. Reigning three-time Dream winner and four-time overall event winner Jonathan Davenport headlines the field alongside Saturday's $100,057 winner at Mansfield in Nick Hoffman, former Dream winners Brandon Overton and Brandon Sheppard, and Eldora veterans Jimmy Owens and Dale McDowell.
