Highlights from the most prestigious Legend Car event of the year, the Legends Big Money 100, will air Sunday, Sept. 18, at 1 p.m. (EDT) in a special 30-minute television program on SPEED.

More than 200 drivers from 22 states and Canada competed for a share of the $100,000 purse in the Legends Big Money 100, which took place Aug. 1-2 on the frontstretch quarter-mile oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Competitors included notables such as current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver David Ragan, former NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Jeff Green, Kevin Harvick Inc. development driver Gray Gaulding, 2011 Pro division Summer Shootout Series champion Sean Rayhall and 2010 Legends Million winner Daniel Hemric.
