Only Bulls Open Wheel Showdown promoter Davey Hamilton Jr. today announced that he has extended his agreement with Las Vegas Motor Speedway for two additional years, extending the current contract through 2028.
Today's official announcement ensures the Open Wheel Showdown will remain the exclusive pavement sprint car event at LVMS.
The Open Wheel Showdown debuted at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2023. Since then, it has established itself as the richest pavement sprint car event in the entire world. The annual event features a winged pavement sprint event that pays the winner $50,000 each fall.
"We're excited for today's extension announcement with Davey Hamilton Jr. and the Open Wheel Showdown," said Patrick Lindsey, GM of LVMS. "What began as an addition to our schedule has grown into a tremendous partnership. The Open Wheel Showdown has become a highlight of our racing calendar, and we're excited to welcome the series back for years to come as we continue to grow this successful relationship."
Today's announcement guarantees that the event can continue to call LVMS home for the next two years. It will provide the event with stability and allow Hamilton Jr. to continue growing it.
"This is something that was in the works since our 2026 date announcement," explained Hamilton Jr." To continue our relationship with LVMS and have the future set in stone is great for the growth of the event, our partners and teams. Now everyone can have this event to look forward to for many years to come."
Hamilton Jr. already made headlines with the event earlier in the year when he announced the addition of a $10,000 to win non-winged sprint car event as part of this year's November 5-7 event. Between the winged and non-winged sprint car classes, well over 100 total sprint cars are entered for this year's event.
In addition to sprint cars, this year's event will also include super modifieds, modifieds, INEX legends, and bandoleros, with a total purse of well over $250,000.
