Team Cincinnati Children's Hospital Car # 21 Elliott, Bill Car Owner: Ray Cook Sponsor: VP Racing Fuels Elliott has been become a dirt track fixture since retiring from NASCAR fulltime. The 1988 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion currently drives the #21 car for Wood Brothers Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Car # 44 Labonte, Bobby Car Owner: Bobby Labonte Sponsors: Lucas Oil, Red Buck Filtered Cigars, Sunoco Labonte returns to Eldora in 2010 after missing the 2009 event. The former Cup champion looks to improve upon his Prelude finishes in 2007 and 2008, which were both cut short due to accidents. Similar to Clint Bowyer, Labonte owns his own dirt late model and expectations for a top 5 finish will be high. Car # 20 Logano, Joey Car Owner: Chris Wall Sponsor: Home Depot The youngest driver in the field returns for his sophomore stint at Eldora after struggling to a 20th place finish as a rookie. Logano has won in every type of car on his quick trip to the Sprint Cup Series. Expect Logano to make a vast improvement in 2010, aligning with his fast start in the 2010 Sprint Cup Series. Car # 75 Pedregon, Cruz Car Owner: Cruz Pedregon Sponsors: Snap-on, Toyota, Herzog, Sioux City Truck and Trailer The NHRA star enjoyed running in his first three Prelude events so much that he decided to buy his own dirt late model car and team. Cruz is getting quite familiar with turning left at Eldora and crossed the finish line 6th in 2009. When he isn’t drag racing at speeds exceeding 300 MPH in the NHRA, Pedregon is turning laps in his dirt late model in preparation for the Prelude event. Car # 14 Stewart, Tony Car Owner: Mark Richards Sponsors: Bass Pro Shops, Office Depot, Old Spice, Gillette Stewart enjoyed racing so much at Eldora Speedway he decided to buy the track in 2004. In his first full season of ownership (2005) Stewart unveiled the Prelude and has since won the event three times. The 2010 field of participants will be the most competitive yet; expectations are high for a fellow competitor to knock Stewart from his throne. Team LEVINE HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN Car # 47 Ambrose, Marcos Car Owner: J.W. Kinzer Sponsors: Kingsford, Bush's Baked Beans, Little Debbie, Will Kinzer Foundation The two time Australian Supercar champion is now making a name for himself in the United States thanks to back to back Nationwide Series wins at the Watkins Glen road course in 2008 and 2009.

Car # 66 Blaney, Dave Car Owner: Tracy Seymour Sponsors: T & R Logging, Southern Ohio Wood, Shain Custom Decals and Graphics Blaney is perhaps the most decorated dirt racer in the field winning championships in both the United State Auto Club (USAC) and the World of Outlaws Series’ before pursuing pavement racing at the NASCAR level.

Car # 199 Pastrana, Travis Car Owner: Jon Henry Sponsor: Red Bull The most successful competitor in the history of X Games freestyle motocross, a five-time United States amateur motocross champion, and winner of four consecutive championships in the Rally America Series makes his debut at Eldora Speedway. Pastrana has never been in a dirt late model before, but he has proven to be a quick study in a vehicle. Car # 00 Reutimann, David Car Owner: Mastersbilt Chassis Sponsors: Aaron's, Beringer The third generation driver began racing dirt Modifieds throughout his home state of Florida before breaking into the NASCAR Slim Jim All-Pro Series in 1997. Reutimann broke through in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2009 with his first career victory at the 50th Coca-Cola 600. Reutimann looks for a similar breakout performance in the 2010 Prelude after posting respective finishes of 9th, 11th and 7th the past three years at the Prelude. TEAM Riley Hospital for Children Car # 12 ALLGAIER, JUSTIN Car Owner: Dewaine Hottinger Sponsor: Verizon Wireless The 2008 ARCA Series champion is now making a name for himself in NASCAR driving for Roger Penske.

Team St. Jude children's research hospital Car # 51 Almirola, Aric Car Owner: Mike Hubbard Sponsor: Graceway Pharmaceuticals Almirola is a promising young driver who currently pilots the #51 for Billy Ballew Motorsports in the Craftsman Truck Series. Almirola returns for his fifth Prelude after a career best finish of 8th in 2009. Car # 4 Carmichael, Ricky Car Owner: Mike Dillon Sponsor: Oakley Ricky Carmichael is making his debut at Eldora Speedway, but he’s hardly a neophyte on the dirt.

Car # 99 Edwards, Carl Car Owner: Stacy Holmes Sponsors: Aflac Edwards returns for his third Prelude event after missing last year’s event due to a broken foot.

Car # 711 Kanaan, Tony Car Owner: GRT Race Cars Sponsor: 7-Eleven Kanaan started last in 2010 Indy 500 and climbed to second by lap 120 of 200-lap race, and was still there with four laps to go before pitting for fuel and finishing 11th.

Car # 9 Schrader, Ken Car Owner: Ken Schrader Sponsor: Federated Auto Parts, Petroff Towing, Hawkeye Truck Sales Schrader is one of only five drivers that will be participating in his sixth Prelude event. After retiring as a fulltime NASCAR driver, Schrader continues to turn laps in just about any vehicle with four wheels.

Title: Re: 2010 Prelude To The Dream Post by Late_Model_Mark on 06/09/10 at 10:30am Isn't this just too freakin cool to have a Dirt Late Model race live on TV from the most prestigeous dirt track in the country?? What a stout lineup to say the least. I have not missed one Prelude and I'm sure not missing this one. They had heavy rain last night and some rain this morning but it has cleared out as of now. As far as my timezone (CST) it comes on at 6:00pm. with a repeat right after the race at 9:00pm. I have the fridge full of cold Sierra Nevadas' in the manroom, Mrs. Late Model Mark will grill me up some flanksteak and I'll be parked in front of the widescreen with the sound up. Live Dirt Late Models from Eldora, dang thats some great stuff. Betcha the winged dune buggy crowd is a little envious. Dirt Late Models rule!! Late Model Mark |
