September 5, 2023 – ‘Davey Hamilton Jr’s Open Wheel Showdown’ officials today confirmed today that the entry list for the December 1-2, 2023, 50k event has now at 51 entries. The $155,000 total purse for this event is attracting the top names in the sport.
Representatives from nearly every pavement sprint car series in North America have already filed an entry. Must See Racing, 500 Sprint Car Tour, Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series, Speed Tour, NSRA, Northwest Sprint Tour, Gunslingers, USAC Silver Crown Series, Inland Winged Sprints, and Granite Super Sprints are all currently represented.
Promoter Davey Hamilton Jr. announced last week that he was cutting entries off at 75. That leaves only 24 spots left with several drivers of note who plan to attend but haven’t filed an entry as of yet.
“This has been absolutely incredible” explained Hamilton Jr. “We have some TBA’s who are entered, and let me tell you, some of those spots are very well known in the racing world. This event will help our sport in a lot of ways. There are so many partners involved helping to make this event possible. This event should be bigger every year from all avenues, but if we don’t all work together to help grow this thing, it won’t be possible. I need everyone to help grow this event”.
The event will also include a $10k to win National Midget event that will put the total purse over $200,000 for both races.
Hamilton Jr. hinted on several big announcements regarding this event in the coming weeks including tire prices and Facebook live events where competitors can ask questions and get up to date on all things Open Wheel Showdown.
