Register for the Demolition Derby

The prize money for the Demolition Derby has doubled to more than $20,000 in recent years.

"We want to acknowledge the time and effort drivers put in to make the 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 biggest check will go to the winner of the large car Demolition Derby for $6,000. For payouts, see below.
