It is officially the week of Eldora Speedway’s Dirt Late Model Dream and a number of drivers and teams are showing off new wraps that they will be sporting for this week’s crown jewel event.
Kyle Bronson revealed he’s going back to orange, but a little bit of a different shade. It’s Bo Hammond orange with black trim. It also has a cream outline around the black numbers that matches the font color for a number of the sponsors. Bronson shared a first look at the wrap on Facebook writing, “Almost Eldora ready! With the Bo Hammond orange!”
Dalton Cook had previously shared a mockup for his wrap about two weeks ago, but this morning showed off what it looks like in person. It’s a slick looking white car with blue and black trim. It also features a Celtic knot on the roof.
A number of other drivers revealed their wraps at Mansfield Speedway a little earlier than they wanted to. Ethan Dotson and his ASD Motorsports team showcased an American themed wrap to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary. After they pulled it out at Mansfield for the World of Outlaws Late Model race there on Saturday night, the team shared, “We had a really cool wrap reveal video to share with everyone next week…so can yall act surprised when you see the video?”
The team shared the video on Sunday writing, “This one means a little more 🇺🇸 As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we wanted to honor the red, white, and blue with a special Dream Week look. Proud to represent our country, our partners, and our fans on one of dirt racing’s biggest stages. See you at Eldora 🏁”
Like Dotson and his ASD Motorsports team, Drake Troutman and his G.R. Smith Motorsports team also rolled out their wrap on Saturday at Mansfield. The team explained, “Get an early look at our Dream 100 car! Was going to be a surprise for the Dream but had to put it into service for $57,000 tonight! Hope everyone likes the new scheme!”
As you can see the wrap also sports a red, white, and blue theme for America’s 250th birthday.
In another post, the team questioned, “What do you all think of this Dream Wrap?”
A number of other drivers have teased new wraps will be debuted shortly. Brandon Overton updated his profile picture with a red, white, and blue Budweiser design hinting at a new wrap for his Riggs Motorsports team.
Tyler Erb, fresh off his $100,000 win at Mansfield on Friday night, also teased, “Who’s ready for The Dream?”
Nick Hoffman, who collected $100,053 on Saturday night, shared in a post after he got back home to North Carolina in the wee hours of Sunday morning, “We have big news dropping on Monday. Stay tuned.”
4 am. Rolling towards the house. Only 4 more hours until we hit the driveway. Can’t believe we won 100k tonight. As a racecar driver it’s something you always dream of and for most it never happens. I am very fortunate. So glad my kids could be there also. A night I will never…

The qualifying order for the two preliminary nights will be based on a random draw. Drivers will then take on hot laps and qualifying. The heat races are different from your typical standard program in that they will be inverted. After the heats there will be B-Features and then the 50-Lap $30,000 to-win A-Feature.
On Saturday, there will be six heat races that are seeded through the track’s Every Lap Matters points system that is based on the preliminary nights and then inverted based on the spin of the track’s Wheel of Misfortune. There will then be two B-Features and finally the Dirt Late Model Dream.
The Every Lap Matters points system awards drivers points based on how they qualify, where they finish in the heat races, and how they finish in the feature. Points are also awarded to the first 10 cars that do not qualify for the feature. Here’s how the point system breaks down:
Multi-Car Qualifying: the field will be split into two flightsfor Multi-Car Qualifying (Flight 1 & 2). Each flight earns points separately for their results – 1st) 100; 2nd) 98; 3rd) 96; 4th) 94; 5th) 92; 6th) 90; 7th) 88; 8th) 86; 9th) 84; 10th) 82; and balance of field decreases by 2 points per position.
Heat Races: 1st) 100; 2nd) 97; 3rd) 94; 4th) 91; 5th) 88; 6th) 85; 7th) 82; 8th) 79; 9th) 76; 10th) 73; 11th) 70; 12th) 67; 13th) 64; 14th) 61; 15th) 58; 16th) 55; 17th) 52; 18th) 49; 19th) 46; 20th) 43
Last Chance Showdowns: first 10 cars not advancing from any LCS) 222; 219; 216; 213; 210; 207; 204; 201; 198; 195 and balance of field decreases by 3 points per position.
A-Features: 1st) 300; 2nd) 297; 3rd) 294; 4th) 291; 5th) 288; 6th) 285; 7th) 282; 8th) 279; 9th) 276; 10th) 273; 11th) 270; 12th) 267; 13th) 264; 14th) 261; 15th) 258; 16th) 255; 17th) 252; 18th) 249; 19th) 246; 20th) 243; 21st) 240; 22nd) 237; 23rd) 234; 24th) 231; 25th)228; and 26th)225
