Bracket racers have long been chasing down not just trophies and championships, big big checks (the kind you take pictures with and the kind you can take to the bank). Several years ago it was a big deal to go to a $10,000-to-win race, and maybe the occasional $50,000 race. But now the bar is higher than ever before. It seems like every time you look on a social media platform you see a flyer for a new race with more money to win than ever before. Recently the Great American Guaranteed Million was announced – a guaranteed $1 million payday that no drag racer has ever seen before.
We’ve rounded up a list of some of the biggest paydays in bracket racing across the country – from Las Vegas to Ohio. Use this to plan your 2020 schedule and see if you can cash in on some of these epic purses.
