Eldora again
named Favorite Track in Speed Sport poll
Historic Kings Royal Sprint Car Race Also Voted “Favorite Race"
ROSSBURG, Ohio (March 30, 2016) – For the fifth consecutive year,
Eldora Speedway has been voted “My Favorite Track,” by the readers of
SPEED SPORT Magazine and www.SPEEDSPORT.com.
The magazine, which has been America’s trusted motorsports authority
since 1934, has conducted the poll for the past five years.
Eldora has won the coveted title each year.
Located just 60 miles northwest of Dayton, Ohio in historic Darke
County, the half-mile clay oval, owned by three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup
Champion Tony Stewart, received 23 percent of the My Favorite Track
vote to top the list. The track was founded by the late Earl Baltes in
1954.
In addition, the Kings Royal was voted “My Favorite Race,” beating out
the Rolex 24 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Three other
events at Eldora, the World 100, the Four Crown Nationals and the
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event placed in the top-10.
“This is a really proud moment for our team here at Eldora,” said
General Manager Roger Slack. “There is nothing easy about Eldora
– for the racers or the fans. It takes a lot of hard work, travel
and preparation on their part to come here. They spend a lot of
time with us over the course of the season, especially in the
campgrounds, and we appreciate everything they do to come be part of
our events. It is a true honor to know they recognize our team’s
efforts in building on Earl’s vision for Eldora.”
The fifth edition of SPEED SPORT’s My Favorite Track and survey was
conducted throughout February. This was the first year of the My
Favorite Race survey.
