Kings Royal Expands To Three Days
ROSSBURG, Ohio (November 24, 2015) – Eldora Speedway’s 63rd season will
have a few notable additions, while maintaining the long-standing race
traditions that have made the half-mile clay oval so historic since
opening in 1954.
There are 28 days of racing, plus the season opening “Test and Tune”
which opens the track on April 9, 2016.
As previously announced, the big three events are the 22nd
$100,000-to-win Dirt Late Model Dream (June 9-10-11), 33rd
$50,000-to-win Kings Royal Weekend (July 14-15-16) and the 46th running
of the World 100 (September 8-9-10). The King Royal has expanded for
the first-time to include Thursday night and will feature the
$10,000-to-win “Jokers Wild” for the World of Outlaws.
The fourth NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, the only national
NASCAR series event on dirt, returns Wednesday, July 20 and joining the
Trucks are the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds with a
point-paying race on Tuesday, July 19 and an invitational show one day
later.
The 35th annual Four-Crown Nationals will host four divisions on
Saturday for the first-time since 2007 when the All Star Circuit of
Champions join the USAC Silver Crown, National Sprint Car and Midget
Championships on September 24 to reestablish the true “Four
Crown.” Friday, September 23, will kick off the weekend with the
World of Outlaws along with the Eldora Stock cars.
For the first-time since a July 1999 USAC race, which was part of
ESPN’s “Thursday Night Thunder,” Eldora will host a Thursday standalone
race featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions. They will hit the
track on June 23 as part of Ohio Sprint Speedweek.
The very popular World of Outlaws/USAC Sprint Car “#LetsRaceTwo”
doubleheader returns May 6-7, as do the two Family FIREWORKS Nights
(May 21 and August 13). Memorial Day Weekend will be celebrated with
the Johnny Appleseed Classic (May 29) and Labor Day weekend will be

later, on April 23, the Modifieds and Stocks return along with the
addition of the Vore’s Compact Series.
