BRISTOL, Tenn. – The inaugural Bristol Dirt Nationals, scheduled for March 15-20 at Bristol Motor Speedway, will feature eight classes from multiple sanctioning bodies headlined by the super late model class to round out the weeklong event.

The overall combined purse for the eight-division program will total more than $400,000.

Super late models will headline the Bristol Dirt Nationals and will run full shows on both Friday and Saturday nights, with the marquee $50,000-to-win, 50-lap grand finale on Saturday night closing out the event. On Friday night, the super late models will close out the night’s racing with a 50-lap feature race that will pay $10,000-to-win.

Other classes to hit the famed Bristol Motor Speedway high banks during the event include modifieds, sport mods, stock cars, 602 and 604 late models (crate engine packages), hornets (compacts) and open modifieds. Due to pit space considerations, all supporting divisions will be limited to 150 entries per class.

The super late models will not have an entry cap.

There will be heat and feature races on each day early in the week to set the fields for the main feature races in each of the seven support classes during the weekend.

On Friday, there will be a 30-lap main for Sport Mods that pays $5,000 to the winner, a 30-lap main for the 602 late models that also pays the winner $5,000 and a 30-lap modified feature that pays $7,500-to-win.

On Saturday, there will be a 16-lap hornet main that pays $2,000-to-win, a 30-lap stock car feature that pays $5,000 to the winner, a 30-lap 604 late model race that pays $7,500-to-win and a 30-lap open modified feature that will pay the winner $10,000.

All classes will award payouts to the top 24 finishers in the feature events.
