    Kings Royal to pay $175,000 to Win

    Just announced today which now makes it the highest paying sprint car race to win. Knoxville pays $150,000 to win but the total purse over 4 nights is still much higher. It will be interesting to see what additional cars this might attract.

    Mr. Schatz will enjoy taking $175k from his car owner.

        It's more than 50 miles from home.

        They won't.

            They are supposedly doing Knoxville this year.

              This is long overdue, imho. The Kings Royal has become a huge event over the years and the winner's share has remained $50,000 since 1984.
              BTW, I have a good ticket for sale for the Kings Royal. We don't travel for the full three, or this year four nights, but we never miss the Kings Royal. It may not pay as much as the Knoxville Nationals overall but it's a big payday for one night of big time auto racing! I hope this brings some of the teams to Eldora that prefer staying close to home.

                Dewease has both the Kings Royal and Knoxville listed as tentative on their schedule, however I believe they have confirmed Knoxville recently.

                  Another Kings Royal article:
                  After 35 years of paying $50,000 to win, the famed Kings Royal sprint car race at Eldora Speedway will pay $175,000 to win on July 20

                  It's gonna be bigger than ever!
                  Have a very blessed day!

                      I have a seat for sale in section BB, row 3. We've sat in these seats at the Kings Royal for about 15 years now.

                        HEAVILY debating going this year. It sure feels like the future of short track racing is a concentration of wealth (isn't that everything?) where a lot of small tracks are closing but the ones that stay open will be putting together big shows and having lots of talent travel in. Purses like this or the Canadian Short Track Nationals at Jukasa are getting massive, and massive purses mean good drivers.

                          Eldora:
                          Ride along with Sammy Swindell in the Blazin 82 at Eldora Speedway during his Heat race run from 5th to 3rd . Also watch as he searchers around the track and...

                            If you've never been it's a blast, I typically go but am going to save up for a longer trip to Knoxville in August.
