Bet #1 - Who will finish better: Brandon Overton or Jonathan Davenport?

Analysis: When it comes to favorites to win the Eldora Million, these are the two drivers everyone will be looking at. Overton had a dream season one year ago at Eldora with two Dirt Late Model Dream victories and a World 100 win. Davenport has experienced loads of success at Eldora over the years and claimed his fourth World 100 victory last September. 


Bet #2 - Where will NASCAR Cup Series star Chase Briscoe finish in the Eldora Million?

Analysis: Dirt late model racing is still relatively new to Briscoe, but he's a natural behind the wheel and appears to be getting better each time he straps into his No. 14. Briscoe is no stranger to Eldora Speedway either. He won the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the track, while also adding finishes of third and seventh in his other two Eldora starts. 


Bet #3 - Which Sprint Car driver will finish better: Donny Schatz or Tyler Courtney?

Analysis: Courtney has only made one career start behind the wheel of a dirt late model, but you would never know it based on the result. "Sunshine" finished ninth in his Castrol FloRacing Night in America debut at Eldora back in April and appeared to get better as the night went on. Schatz has much more experience driving a late model, including a handful of wins with the Northern Late Model Racing Association. Both drivers have experienced success at Eldora with Kings Royal and 4-Crown Nationals (Courtney) victories. 


Bet #4 - Which state will claim the Eldora Million victory?

Analysis: Twenty-four states are currently represented on the Eldora Million entry list; however, there are a handful that stick out as favorites to claim the $1 million prize. Georgia will be represented by a stout list of drivers that includes Jonathan Davenport, Brandon Overton, Dale McDowell, Ashton Winger and Shane Clanton. The state of Illinois will also be tough to beat with Brandon Sheppard, Bobby Pierce, Dennis Erb and Brian Shirley among the notable entries. North Carolina will be well represented with Chris Ferguson, Kyle Strickler and Nick Hoffman. You also can't count out the veteran presence coming from the state of Tennessee with Scott Bloomquist, Mike Marlar and Jimmy Owens. Will one of these four states claim the win or will someone else? 


Bet #5 - Which second-generation driver will have the best finish?

Analysis: Donnie Moran passed Don O'Neal to win the original Eldora Million in 2001. This year, their sons will be among the drivers in contention for the $1 million check. Since Donnie's million-dollar win, neither Donnie or Devin have reached victory lane at Eldora Speedway. Devin has been strong so far in 2022 and has put a lot of his recent focus on a strong showing at the Eldora Million. Hudson O'Neal has a World 100 preliminary win at Eldora but has yet to claim his first crown jewel. O'Neal has also been running well as of late and won the most recent Castrol FloRacing Night in America race at Marshalltown Speedway.
