About Eldora Speedway:
Since carved from a cornfield in the natural amphitheater that existed
between the Eldora Ballroom and the Wabash River by bandleader Earl
Baltes in 1954, Eldora Speedway has grown to be a frontrunner in

high-banked clay oval to motorsports entrepreneur and NASCAR, IndyCar,
USAC and IROC champion Tony Stewart in 2004. Eldora celebrates its 65th
consecutive season of racing in 2018 featuring the biggest events in
short-track racing, including: the 24th running of the $100,000-to-win
Dirt Late Model Dream Weekend on June 7th-8th-9th; the 35th Annual
$50,000-to-win Kings Royal Weekend on July 12th-13th-14th; the Camping
World Truck Series’ Eldora Dirt Derby – NASCAR’s only race on dirt on
