The “Big Go of Bracket Racing” makes its return to O’Reilly Raceway
Park in Indianapolis next month, as the JEGS U.S. Open Bracket
Championships comes to the illustrious Indiana facility for four days
of the greatest bracket competition on the planet. The event features a
purse of well over $200,000 in cash and prizes to be distributed
throughout the weekend. Presenting sponsors for the event include Auto
Meter, Danny Nelson’s Race Craft Chassis, and Steve Schmidt Competition
Engines. This season’s daily events will be presented by American Race
Cars, DragsterForSale.com, Motorvation, and The Fab Shop.
The same features that have made the JEGS U.S. Open one of the premier
events in sportsman drag racing will remain in place. The 3-day
(Friday-Sunday) weekend entry is just $500; and the three events pay a
whopping $20,000 (Friday and Saturday) and $10,000 (Sunday) to win.
Payback starts with third round winners on each day of competition; so
any competitor that can win third round on each day of the event has
their weekend entry fee covered. There will be no buybacks in the event
as long as the race features over 256 entries (there have been no
buybacks at the JEGS U.S. Open events since the inaugural event five
years ago). As always, the purse for the event is 100% guaranteed; and
special features include one-of-a-kind JEGS trophies for the champions,
in addition to a host of products giveaways and prizes throughout the
weekend.
