ELDORA
TO HOST BUSY JULY WEEK
ROSSBURG,
OH (June 16) – Busy seems to be the buzz word at Eldora
Speedway.
Coming
off the heels of the Dirt Late Model Dream week which included
all the Old Spice Prelude to the Dream hype and acitivity, staff
members are gearing up for the Kings Royal week and the many
events and activity surrounding it.
Deemed
the Week of Royalty, it kicks off on Tuesday evening, July 8,
with the Ollie’s 360 Challenge featuring NASCAR’s
Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Dave Blaney as they tackle the
best of the 360 Sprint Car world. Eldora’s biggest single
day payout for such cars will be on the line with a $6,000 paycheck
awaiting the victor, but more importantly, it puts one driver
in the running for a potential $50,000 payday.
The Ollie’s
Outlet sponsored event is a three-race series which also involves
Sharon (OH) Speedway and Williams Grove (PA) Speedway. If one
driver is able to capture two of the three events, a $50,000
cash bonus has been posted.
Following
the Ollie’s event will be the fabled Kings Royal weekend
(July 11 & 12), with its 25th annual rendition. A full World
of Outlaw (WoO) Sprint show kicks things off on Friday night
(July 12), with the NRA (National Racing Alliance) Sprint Invaders,
sharing the twin bill; while Saturday’s $50,000 Kings
Royal will be a single division contest this year; highlighted
by the WoO tour.
As a special
treat, Eldora will be hosting a special Salute to the Kings
on Saturday afternoon in the Eldora Ballroom. The special luncheon
has attracted the interest of many past Kings; including Jac
Haudenschild, Donny Schatz, Doug Wolfgang, Sammy Swindell, Joey
Saldana, Dale Blaney, Steve Kinser, Donny Krietz, Jr., Bobby
Davis, Jr. and Jason Sides. Dave Blaney will be fulfilling his
NASCAR obligations in Chicago that weekend; while Johnny Herrera
and Mark Kinser are still contemplating their attendance. The
event is open to the public and ticket information may be found
at www.eldoraspeedway.com.
Other
activities throughout the Kings Royal weekend include a Cornhole
Tournament, Simulator Challenge and the third annual National
Sprint Car Hall of Fame auction.
