Things are about to get wild inside The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis. After a one-year hiatus, engines will rumble and craziness will ensue during the return of the Castrol Gateway Dirt Nationals presented by O'Reilly Auto Parts, December 2-4. 

Three divisions of racing will be in action during the event, with the Super Late Models, Midgets and Modifieds all getting their shot to conquer the dome. 

In preparation for the event, event officials have released the preliminary night rosters for the Super Late Model portion of the event. The roster includes a list of 122 drivers who will be competing in Thursday or Friday's prelim nights ahead of Saturday's $30,000-to-win main event. 

The list of entries includes many of the biggest names in Dirt Late Model racing as they look to add one of the most unique races of the season to their resume. 

A trio of former Gateway Dirt Nationals will be looking to get back to victory lane, as 2016 winner Scott Bloomquist, 2017 and 2018 winner Bobby Pierce and 2019 winner Tyler Carpenter are all expected to return to the dome. 

2021 World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion Brandon Sheppard will be among the Dirt Late Model stars eyeing their first Gateway win. 2021 Castrol FloRacing Night in America champion and four-time World 100 winner Jonathan Davenport will also battle in the dome after finishes of 18th in 2018 and fourth in 2019. 

Shannon Babb, one of the most successful drivers in the four-year history of the Gateway Dirt Nationals, will return to the event in 2021 seeking an elusive win in the main event. Babb won preliminary features in 2016 and 2019, as well as the 2017 Race of Champions.

Gordy Gundaker, who collected a preliminary night win in 2017 and top-five finish in 2019, will also return to Gateway with hopes of collecting the $30,000 winner's check. 

2021 Dirt Track World Championship winner Ricky Thornton Jr., Modified ace Nick Hoffman, Summer Nationals winner Tanner English and former NASCAR Truck Series winner Joey Coulter are just a few of the other stars planning to compete.
