Alphabet
Spring Car
sanctioning bodies return to Eldora
Special
Event Slate
Includes WoO, ASCoC, USAC and NRA
ROSSBURG,
OH (Dec. 6) –
Eldora Speedway’s 60th consecutive year of racing will again have a
strong open
wheel flavor, as the alphabet soup of sanctioned Sprint Car racing that
Eldora
has come to be known for, continues into 2013.
The mix includes World of Outlaw STP
Sprint Car Series (WoO), UNOH All
Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC), United States Auto Club (USAC) and
National
Racing Alliance (NRA).
Leading
the 2013 WoO
invasion into Eldora, and their five sanctioned events will be the 30th
annual
Kings Royal weekend; complete with the ceremonial crowning and the
traditional
$50,000 payday, July 12 and 13. The
coast-to-coast
touring group will also make Eldora stops on May 3 & 4 and then
again for
crown number one of the 32nd annual Four Crown Nationals on September
20.
Exciting
news on the All
Star front is the return of Eldora into the storied Ohio Sprint
Speedweek on
June 22, a stop that has been absent since 2009.
The Midwest based troupe will close out
their season, along with Eldora’s, as part the UNOH Sprintacular on
October 12.
Joining
the Sprintacular
will be the NRA Sprint Invaders in their fourth 2013 appearance. Dates prior to that
include the Johnny
Appleseed Classic on May 26 as well as the Kings Royal weekend, July 12
and 13.
For
the traditionalists,
USAC and their non-winged style of Sprint Car racing will return as a
component
of the 2013 slate. Considered
to be the
‘elder statesman’ of Sprint Car racing on the high-banks of Eldora with
their
rich 51-year history, the USAC National Sprint tour will be featured on
April
20 and again during the Four Crown Nationals on September 21 when they
join
their brethren USAC Midget and Silver Crown divisions for an all
open-wheel
weekend.
The
variety of Sprint Car
sanctioning bodies continues to be a key component into the venerable
speed
plant’s reputation as a special event facility catering to a multitude
of race
fans’ favored divisions.
Finishing
touches are being
put on the complete 2013 bill of fare and will be released shortly on
the
track’s website www.EldoraSpeedway.com, along with Facebook and
Twitter. Fans
can order seats and campsites to the majority of Eldora’s events,
including the
Kings Royal, Dirt Late Model Dream and World 100, from the comfort of
their
home via the website, or by calling the speedway office at (937)
338-3815. Tickets
for the Inaugural Mudsummer Classic
featuring the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (July 24) will go on
sale, in
the same manner, at 10 a.m. on January 5, 2013.
