The event will feature three $10,000-to-win races, along with a Buy One, Get One FREE entry deal, giving racers six shots at $10K for just $350! That breaks down to as little as $59 per entry!

Also new for 2026 is the $1,000-to-win Motorcycle class which will run on all three days.

Triple $10Ks

On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Top Bulb racers will compete for $10,000 each day, with $2,000 going to the runner-up and additional payouts extending through fourth-round winners. If first-round entries exceed 200, the winner’s purse will increase to $15,000!

The three-race entry fee is just $350, and with the Buy One, Get One FREE deal, racers will receive two entries into all three $10K races. That’s six shots at $10K for as little as $59 per entry!

Buybacks will be available for $120 per race, giving racers another chance if they fail to turn on the win light in the first or second round!

NEW for 2026! Motorcycle Class

For the first time, the BTE King of the Coast Turkey Beach Bash will feature a Motorcycle Class during Thanksgiving weekend! Motorcycle racers will have three chances to compete for a $1,000-to-win purse each day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The weekend BOGO entry fee is just $300, with first- or second-round buybacks available for $40.
