Robby Gordon, driver of the #7 Jim Beam Dodge on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit, has been added to the driver list in the 4th annual Old Spice Prelude to the Dream.  Even more interesting, Gordon will be piloting a car owned and prepared by veteran late model racer Scott Bloomquist.

The mailing process on Old Spice Prelude to the Dream tickets has begun.  The first of many batches sits in the ‘ready and waiting’ position at the door this afternoon…

Gover Harley-Davidson is the proud new sponsor of the ‘Gover Zone’ - a special area designated for motorcycles only. The area, which is already slated for expansion and improvements, exists on the north side of the main parking lot - next to the pond.

Gover HD, located in nearby Piqua, will also be spearheading a Harley Fun Run on July 25 - with the final destination being Eldora Speedway. The 25th is a racing night featuring the Subway 50 for World of Outlaws Late Models!

Stay tuned to the Eldora website for more information in the coming weeks…

There won’t be any racing at Eldora Speedway this Saturday, but you can still get your racing fix by visiting the Chief SuperMarket locations in Coldwater and Celina.  The community wide event, appropriately titled, “Race Into Savings” takes place Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at both locations.

Stop out and pick up some great Eldora freebies, racing schedules, and get entered to win race tickets!  Several Eldora cars and drivers will be on hand to chat with fans and sign autographs as well.

Chief’s in Coldwater is located at 810 East Main St, while Chief’s in Celina can be found at 221 Summit Street.
