Register to drive in the Demolition Derby

We’re excited for our 2026 event on Saturday, August 22!

In recent years, prize money for the Demolition Derby has more than doubled, now totaling over $20,000.

“We want to recognize the time and effort drivers put into making this event a success,” said Duane Howard, President of the Benton Franklin Fair Board. “The Demo Derby is a fan favorite and sells out every year. The drivers and their cars are the stars of the show.”

The top prize of $6,000 will be awarded to the winner of the large car Demolition Derby. See the payout details below for the full breakdown.

Completed forms and payment must be returned to the fair office by August 21. Register early to secure your preferred car number!
