ROSSBURG, Ohio — As the sun sets over the cornfields of central Ohio on Wednesday, 26 of the best drivers in the country will meet at Eldora Speedway for the fifth annual Prelude to the Dream.
There is no prize money, no points, no sponsor obligations — just 26 drivers in dirt late model stock cars going for a trophy and bragging rights among their peers. All drivers want the trophy, but for 25 of them, if they can’t win, they want to beat Eldora’s owner, Tony Stewart — a two time Prelude to the Dream winner.

1st?
By a country mile, to boot..
Will this be on Speed?
OOPS.........HBO pay per view. Hope it reruns later.
I might get in on this one. My driver Hambone is taking a beating so maybe some fan interaction on FR can help him out. :^)
9th
Now that’s entertainment.
I should be home for this one.
The points leader, Tony Stewart, is the favorite - no?
Some okra for you?
Time for Flipper to drive into victory lane, no?
Or maybe JJ, Flash, fast Kasay or Shrub has their own ideas?
Thanks Norm...enjoy yer vacation!
Back online in my new digs. Got yer pings covered.
For doing that we get a free pass for the entire weekend: qualifying, practice, the Saturday ARCA race - all free. The only thing we can't do is go into the pits.
For doing this the Mattioli family (track owners) give $50 per volunteer to charity.
I'm not sure what events I'm going to. Friday I'm off work early but Saturday (ARCA race) I'm supposed to work until about 2 or 3.
BON VOYAGE!!
Talk about the lucky dog winner. ;^) Enjoy.
We have clouds.
