Davey Hamilton Jr.’s Open Wheel Showdown has received a deluge of entries on the opening day of registrations for Open Wheel Showdown Las Vegas, racing into the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Nov. 14-16.
Currently, over 40 winged sprint car entries were received within the first hour of registrations. 75 total winged sprint cars will be admitted for the $50,000-to-win purse. Midget entries are also open for the $10,000 to win purse.
The early pre-entry list for Las Vegas already features a “who’s who” of asphalt open-wheel racing headlined by last year’s Open Wheel Showdown winner, Aaron Willison. The Canadian racer will have to deal with the entire podium from 2023 with Mass.’ driver Bobby Santos and Florida’s Davey Hamilton Jr. also registering.
Other entries of note include Evan Margeson, Austyn and Bryan Gossel, Canadians such as Jeff Montgomery, 2023 fourth-place finisher Robbie Price and Ontario’s Ryan Litt.
Arie Luyendyk Jr. returns as does Tyler Roahrig. Jake Trainor will venture west from Medway, Mass. and Utah will be represented by three entries as well.
Last week, Hamilton announced an additional Open Wheel Showdown will take place the following week, Nov. 22-24, at Irwindale Speedway.
