ROSSBURG, May 31, 2009: Long before Tony Stewart purchased Eldora Speedway in November 2004, the venerable, half-mile dirt oval was already an iconic racing
facility. Nestled deep in the Ohio countryside, the 55-year-old dirt track has played host to some of the biggest names in racing &ndash a tradition that continues on Wednesday, June 3 with the fifth annual Prelude to the Dream. Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards will join Stewart and numerous others in this year’s edition of the all-star dirt late model race. All will have their eyes fixed on winning the feature event, while much of the nation affixes its eyes on them via the live HBO Pay-Per-View
