Even though there’s a new wrinkle in the format, the favorite in Wednesday night’s Prelude to the Dream charity race at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, is the same as it ever was—the guy who owns the track and stages the event.
Tony Stewart, who launched the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Prelude to the Dream at the half-mile dirt track in 2005, has won the event the past two years and three of the five since its inception. Stewart set the one-lap qualifying record last year (15.405 seconds) and led all 30 laps of the main event.

The driver of the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series won last year’s June visit to the venerable and quirky 2.5-mile triangle, where he led twice for 39 laps – including the final 37 – to take his first point-paying win as a driver/owner and the first for a driver/owner since Sept. 27, 1998 when Ricky Rudd won at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway – a span of 375 races.
It was a monumental win, not just in terms of numbers, but also because it stamped Stewart’s foray into team ownership with Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) as a success. It was his 34th career Sprint Cup win, but first with SHR after leaving the comfy confines of Joe Gibbs Racing, where the two-time Sprint Cup champion spent his first 12 years as a NASCAR driver.
