ELDORA SPEEDWAY
TO HOST 3 SPRINT SHOWS IN 5 NIGHTS
TUESDAY’S
OLD SPICE SUMMER SIZZLER PRECEDES WEEKEND’S KINGS ROYAL
by CROWN ROYAL
ROSSBURG,
OH (June 25) -- With three winged Sprint Car race meets scheduled
over the five night period of July 10 - July 14, Eldora Speedway
will be abuzz with open-wheel activity.
Kicking
the action off on Tuesday night (July 10) will be a ‘return
to their roots’ of sort, as NASCAR Nextel Cup stars Tony
Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Dave Blaney race head-to-head against
the NRA (National Racing Alliance) Sprint Invaders. The NASCAR
trio, which has an impressive record of short-track open wheel
racing on their resumes, has a score to settle in this third
annual event, as to date, they remain winless in this match
up. NRA regulars Darren Long (2005) and Tim Allison (2006) have
visited victory lane thus far.
Adding
even more flare to the night, NASCAR’s Kenny Schrader
and NHRA’s Ron Capps have been inked to compete against
the UMP (United Midwestern Promoters) Modified regulars.
Things
begin to heat up Friday night (July 13) as the World of Outlaw
(WoO) Sprints return to the massive one-half mile clay oval
in the classic Knight Before the Kings Royal. It will be a full
points program for the traveling WoO superstars with a complete
card of preliminaries and a 30-lap finale. Rounding out the
doubleheader that night will be the NRA Sprint Invaders in another
full blown points program.
Saturday’s
climax to the week is the 24th annual Kings Royal by Crown Royal,
with the goal of every WoO driver that of walking to the stage
and sitting upon the giant throne and subsequently being crowned,
which is significant of a $50,000 victory. While using WoO car
and safety specifications, the night’s program is run
under Eldora’s time-honored format, which puts the emphasis
on hard-core racing in every preliminary event.
Unlike
the WoO contingent, which will run a full program of heats and
a B-Main prior to the anticipated 40-lap Kings Royal, the NRA
Sprint Invaders will be using Friday night’s line-up to
determine positioning in the 2 B-Mains and 25-lap A-Main which
will make up their night of competition.
As if the
Eldora action wasn’t already enough to whet a Sprint Car
fan’s appetite, the WoO Sprint Cars will be racing up
the road at Limaland Motorsports Park on Wednesday night in
the Brad Doty Classic. The St. Henry Nite Club will be providing
bus transportation for persons camped at Eldora Speedway for
the week, to and from Limaland.
Tickets
for all three Eldora events are available online at www.eldoraspeedway.com
or by calling the Speedway office during the week at (937) 338-3815.
