LAS VEGAS — Scheduled for Nov. 6-8 at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the third annual BITNILE.COM Open Wheel Showdown presented by askROI is the richest short-track pavement open-wheel event in the world.
The $50,000-to-win winged sprint cars are again joined by modifieds and supermodifieds, while Legend cars and Bandolero’s will join the event for the first time.
“The BITNILE.com Open Wheel Showdown presented by askROI isn’t just an event, it’s a testament to the incredible support I’ve received throughout my racing journey from BITNILE.com, askROI and Todd Ault,” said event promoter Davey Hamilton Jr. “Their ongoing commitment to my career, including our Indy NXT campaign, and to this event, makes all of this possible. We’ve built something special here in Las Vegas and, together with their partnership, we’re proud to deliver a world-class Open Wheel Showdown that raises the bar for competitors, teams, and fans alike.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Davey Hamilton Jr. by presenting the BITNILE.com Open Wheel Showdown alongside askROI,” said Ault, who founded BITNILE.com. “Supporting young entrepreneurs like him is something we’re truly passionate about. All race teams are businesses, and we want to help them grow their dreams and achieve healthier business and racing success. This event is another step in fostering the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders, and I couldn’t be happier to see how far we’ve come together.”
After quickly receiving nearly 200 entries this spring for the Open Wheel Showdown, event officials have worked with Las Vegas Motor Speedway to work together to fit the capacity. The INEX Legends and Modifieds will each gain an additional 10 entries while the INEX Bandoleros will receive five additional entries.
