Eldora Speedway
$100,000 Bonus
For Driver Who Sweeps Four Crown Nationals
$25,000 To Driver Who Wins Any Three Events
ROSSBURG, Ohio (December 9, 2015) – Eldora Speedway has always awarded
big money and the 35th Four-Crown Nationals are not any different as
track officials announced today that a $100,000 bonus will be awarded
to the driver who wins all four races in the historic event.
For the first time since 2007, the Four Crown will have four races on
Saturday, September 24, 2016 as the All Star Circuit of Champions have
been added to the event, joining the USAC Silver Crown, National Sprint
Car and Midget Championships.
If a driver wins any three events on Saturday, a $25,000 bonus will be
paid out.
“One of our goals with returning the Four Crown to four divisions on
Saturday was to give the USAC and All Star drivers an Eldora-like prize
to go after,” said Roger Slack, general manager of Eldora
Speedway. “As race fans, I believe we’re enjoying this latest era
of drivers who are proving to be both extremely versatile and
competitive in midgets, champ cars and with or without a wing on a
sprint car. With four wins and the $100,000 bonus we’re putting
up, one of these drivers could elevate to superstar status on that
Saturday, September 24."
Jack Hewitt is the only driver to win the Four Crown as in 1998 he won
all three USAC races plus the UMP Modified race, which was the fourth
race. Kyle Larson won the three USAC divisions in 2011 as the World of
Outlaws ran as Crown #1 the night prior of the Friday/Saturday weekend.
Friday, September 23, will again kick off the weekend with the World of
Outlaws along with the Eldora Stock cars. Victory in these races does
not count as part of the “Four Crown.”
Tickets and camping for the 35th Four-Crown will go on sale Monday,
February 15, 2016 atwww.EldoraSpeedway.com and can be requested by
phone at (937) 338-3815.
