Daryn Pittman, the 2013 World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series champion, won at Eagle in 2006, while Joey Saldana was victorious at the track in 2007.

Battling Schatz, Pittman and Saldana in 2017 is a talented group of full-time competitors including Brad Sweet, who drives for Kasey Kahne Racing, David Gravel, who finished a career-best third in points in 2016, Shane Stewart, who had eight A-Feature wins last season, Jason Johnson, the defending Knoxville Nationals winner, who already has one win this season and veteran drivers Jason Sides, Paul McMahan and Greg Wilson.

Brent Marks from Pennsylvania and second-generation driver Sheldon Haudenschild from Ohio will contend for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award in 2017.
