The Dealer's Choice was an annual year-end event promoted by the late Dick Beebe. In 1999, the event moved from Crystal Motor Speedway to the Butler Battlegrounds - this was my first DC.
It consisted of multiple classes over several days including winged and nonwing Sprint Cars, and was run late in the season to draw teams from all over Michigan.
Here's a highlight package I put together following that season. You can also check out complete programs, including the Super Late Models, on my YouTube channel.
