“The show is free for everyone. The cars can enter for free and people can come out and enjoy the show for free,” Earnhardt said. “We invite any car from any age, usually anything over 30 to 35 years. We like to see fully restored cars and cars that are still in the restoration process.” 

There will be drawings for prizes roughly every 30 minutes for giveaways. John and Crystal Earnhardt will also be giving away free copies of their book, The 7 Flags of NASCAR. The judges will award the three best vehicles from the show with a signed photo of Dale Earnhardt Sr.
