The field has officially been set for the DIRTcar UMP Modified portion of the 8th Running of the Gateway Dirt Nationals inside the Dome At America's Center in downtown St. Louis, MO. The event, which first began in 2016, has featured racing from DIRTcar UMP Late Models, Modifieds, and Midgets. In 2022, the event returned to only featuring Modifieds and Late Models and with the high demand to race in the event, Modified drivers are hand-selected by the event organizers. Fans played a role in selecting drivers who would race in 2024, with options to submit votes for who they'd like to see go wheel-to-wheel December 5th through the 7th.
