The Daytona 1 BEACH MADNESS will bring back the Dash for Cash concept and add excitement for fans and late model racers at Myrtle Beach Speedway throughout the 2018 season. The format will result in a handful of drivers battling for a $5,000 bonus in the 225 lap NASCAR Late Model portion of November's Myrtle Beach 400. The prize bonus will be awarded to the highest finisher of those eligible at the conclusion of the 225 lap race. These spots will serve as track provisionals for the 2018 running of the Myrtle Beach 400 Late Model race. There will be three opportunities for drivers to earn an invitation to the DAYTONA 1 BEACH MADNESS DASH FOR CASH. Each of the three methods of madness is explained below.

Fans that possess the top 20 point totals including ties after the September 8th final elimination will remain eligible for the $2500 cash prize in November. These fans will be sent a FINAL LAP form after the BattleBack Wild Card race on October 20th.

As a tie breaker, fans will also be requested to give the finishing position of that driver, starting position of that driver, and the correct finishing order of all eligible drivers in Daytona 1 Beach Madness for the MB 400 Late Model event. This tie breaker criterion will be referred to in the order as stated above.
