Milestone Night of Mayhem!

Never seen Team Demolition Derby? Prepare yourself for a high-speed race where wrecking the opponent is encouraged! Two teams enter the race with four cars each. The objective is to complete 5 full laps around the marked corners to be declared the winner! Any car is eligible to win, and they’re all eligible to destroy one another to secure the victory.

The format of the 100th event includes a total of four Team Demo races. The losing teams from the two First Round match-ups will race again to determine 3rd & 4th place overall. The winning teams from First Round advance to the Finals with a chance to enter the history books as the winners of the 100th Team Demolition Derby event at Dirt Oval 66.

Bathroom break? Do it after. Hungry? Eat when you arrive. Thirsty? Yes, we all thirst for more destruction! Find your seat and be ready to jump out of it when the Team Demo cars fire up and enter the arena. We will allow you to step away to grab one of the limited edition Carnage Clash 100 shirts or hoodies
