The 2025 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series comes to a close this weekend with one of the most anticipated racing events of the year, the Dirt Track World Championship at Eldora Speedway.
Devin Moran, Jonathan Davenport, past Dirt Track World champ Ricky Thornton Jr. and many more stars of the track will be competing in the epic main event Saturday. It's the ultimate finale to nearly a full year of Late Model Dirt Series action, with the winner earning a $100,000 check.
To land that big money, the victorious driver will need to beat some of the best drivers in the world on the half-mile clay oval track at famed Eldora.
Of course, other payouts will also be made. The 2025 Dirt Track World Championship payouts range from $1,000 to $100,000. But only the big winner will land that six-figure prize.
