UNDATED (AP) — Tony Stewart has $1 million to give away in the return of The Eldora Million. The Thursday night feature will pay a whopping $1,002,022 to the winner, making it the second-largest purse in motorsports behind the Indianapolis 500. Marcus Ericsson collected $3.1 million for winning the Indy 500. But The Eldora Million is a 101-lap dirt-track late model race run on a half-mile clay oval in western Ohio. On a per-mile basis, Stewart’s event will pay more than any race in the country at $19,842 per mile.
