Tony Stewart, a legendary figure in motorsports, has raised the bar by offering a staggering million-dollar prize for a win in the upcoming Eldora Million. This eye-popping amount has caught the attention of the racing world, including star driver Kyle Larson.

In the post-Atlanta press conference, Larson stated, “Yeah, it’s amazing. It’s honestly really cool… it’s a lot of money. It’s way more money than any dirt racer gets to race for. It’s life-changing money, for sure.” Larson understands the financial struggles faced by many dirt racers and acknowledges that winning this kind of prize could transform their lives.
