If that wasn’t enough to get you intrigued, maybe our record-setting $200 top prize will seal the deal. As has become customary here at TDN, we’ll host a FREE fantasy pickem game for the most prestigious sprint car race on the planet. Jump straight to the bottom of this post to find the contest link.
