The Catch
Win big here and you might not be driving it home.
Win a night + best average = engine auction
Win Friday or Saturday AND post the highest average finish across both nights — a $15,000 payday — and your engine comes out of the car and goes to auction. Complete long block: intake, valve covers and oil pan. No other accessories.
Win both nights = the whole car
Win both Friday and Saturday — a $25,000 payday — and the driver seat comes out and the entire car is auctioned.
Auction money is split and paid evenly to the 1st, 15th, 25th and 40th average finishers of the same car running both days. Ties on average finish are broken by the best single-night finish.
