Seven more entries have pushed the entry list to 41 drivers and teams for the Nov. 3-5 event, which culminates with Saturday night's $20,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start finale, co-sanctioned by the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and the AMSOIL USAC CRA Sprint Cars.
Among the latest entries are a two-car effort from Team AZ Racing, featuring drivers Jake Swanson and Jason McDougal.
