The FloRacing Late Model Challenge powered by Tezos is a vision for co-promoter Kyle Larson.

The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion always enjoyed watching the Prelude to the Dream at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway, an event held from 2005-12 that featured many of NASCAR’s top stars competing in dirt Super Late Models to help raise money for charity. Larson came along too late to compete in the Prelude to the Dream, so he decided to host his own race.

The FloRacing Late Model challenge takes place Thursday, April 14, at Volunteer Speedway, a 0.4-mile dirt track located in Bulls Gap, Tennessee. The event will be shown live on FloRacing.

Below is everything to know about the new race Larson is co-promoting.

• Date: Thursday, April 14

• Location: Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee

• Start time: 6:30 p.m. ET

• How to watch: FloRacing

The FloRacing Late Model Challenge powered by Tezos takes place three days before the Food City Dirt Race at nearby Bristol Motor Speedway, presenting Cup Series competitors with an opportunity to get in some extra laps on dirt in advance of the race weekend at Bristol.

One Cup Series star in addition to Larson has already confirmed plans to participate. Larson will be joined in the field by his Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron, who will make his debut in a dirt Super Late Model a few days removed from his second NASCAR Cup Series victory of the season last Saturday night at Martinsville Speedway.

Additional stars from the Super Late Model world are also expected to participate.

The race will pay $20,000 to the winner with a total purse of $62,000 for Super Late Model competitors. The Super Late Model program will include hot laps (practice), qualifying, heat races, a consolation race and the 50-lap finale.

“Hopefully this is a step in the direction of what I want it to be in the future,” Larson recently told FloRacing, the streaming partner for the event. “That’s kind of to bring back an event similar to the Prelude to the Dream. It’s been so long now since that event has happened, and there’s a whole new crop of NASCAR drivers. I would love to build this event into something like the Prelude down the road.

“I think it leading up into a NASCAR weekend on dirt is a good reason for Cup guys to want to go run. I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope this is the beginning to start that.”

The Sportsman division will also be in action Thursday, with a $1,000-to-win feature taking place prior to the Super Late Model main event.

Tickets for grandstand and pit admission are available for purchase on race day at the track. Fans unable to attend in person will be able to watch the program live on FloRacing beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Retired NASCAR competitor and current FOX Sports NASCAR analyst Clint Bowyer will be part of the broadcast team for the event.
