Friday’s action features two heat races for each driver with a pill draw setting the lineups. Points will be awarded in both heat races with both finishing points and passing points awarded. Points will determine the lineup for the knockout races and features.

A who’s who of the greatest racers in Delta Speedway history have tasted victory at the 24 previous editions of the Turkey Bowl. Winners include arguably the speedway’s all-time most-successful driver in Caden Sarale of Stockton, a three-time victor in the Super 600 Turkey Bowl as part of six total Turkey Bowl wins. The Panella brothers Alex and Nikko have won a combined six Turkey Bowls as well. The Mauldin family has scored at least four times according to available records, including two triumphs for Scott Mauldin before his kids Maya and Lucas each won a Jr. Sprints Turkey Bowl in their careers.
2024 track champions Logan Trevino in Super 600, Jeffrey Pahule in Non-Wing, and the family duo Hayden Stepps in Restricted and Heston Stepps in Jr. Sprints aim to preserve their place as the top drivers of the season by winning the biggest show of the season. Pahule will be searching for his first Turkey Bowl win while Heston Stepps won the 2023 Jr. Sprints feature.
Official event merchandise is provided by Bullet Impressions. Race fans are also encouraged to arrive hungry for the famous Royce Farms BBQ offering some of the best race track fare in the country.
