The Kings
Royal: Seven Different Winners in Seven Years
Every Lap Matters When Winged Sprint Car Stars Battle At Summers Most
Fabled Event July 17-18
ROSSBURG, Ohio (July 13, 2015) – Eldora Speedway will look to crown a
new king in the 32nd Kings Royal on July 17-18 continuing a streak of
seven different winners the past seven years.
In fact, dating back to Jac Haudenschild’s third triumph in 1998, only
Steve Kinser (three), Sammy Swindell (two) and Donny Schatz (two) have
multiple wins in the sixteen events held since. Kerry Madsen became the
first Australian to claim the $50,000 bounty last year.
One of the main reasons for such parity is the format. While Friday’s
“The Knight Before” will be a standard World of Outlaws Sprint Car
Series event. Saturday night’s starting lineup is determined via a
formula that is unique to Eldora for the extended 40 lap Kings Royal.
Per usual, Time Trials will be held in order of random draw conducted
prior to the driver meeting. The fastest of two laps determines Heat
Race seeding.
As is Kings Royal tradition, there will be six Heat Races instead of
the four typical experienced at a sprint car race. The results of time
trials will be staggered by qualifying time with an invert of five
placing the 25th fastest qualifier on the pole of Heat Race one and the
30th fastest qualifier on the pole of Heat Race six. The fastest
qualifier will start fifth in the first heat with the sixth qualifier
in starting fifth in the sixth heat race.
The top-three finishers will advance from the Heat Races and complete
the first 18 positions in the Kings Royal. Cars finishing fourth,
fifth and sixth – that are not the two fastest qualifiers who did not
finish in the top-three in their heat race – advance to the B-Feature.
Cars finishing seventh through 10th advance to the C-Feature.
There will be one C-Feature with cars finishing first through sixth
advancing to the B-Feature. Cars finishing first through fourth will
advance to the Kings Royal.
The two fastest qualifiers not advancing from the Heat Races will start
19th and 20th in the Kings Royal.
The top-three finishers from the six Heat Races will makeup the
first-eighteen starters in the Kings Royal as follows:
