Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, has seen many drivers pass through its pit gate since its first race 53 years ago. On June 6, the half-mile dirt oval will see a who’s who of racing elite, as the legendary track plays host to the NEXTEL Prelude to the Dream presented by Old Spice.
The ultra-competitive all-star race featuring motorsports’ finest drivers, including Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and more, will be broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View, with proceeds from this ground-breaking telecast supporting the Victory Junction Gang Camp and the Tony Stewart Foundation.
The live broadcast will begin at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT), with an immediate replay and subsequent replays throughout the week and the following weekend. Prospective viewers can order the event as early as this Sunday, right up until race time on June 6. All that is necessary to order the event is digital cable or satellite service. A subscription to HBO is not required. The suggested retail price is $24.95 and available to more than 61 million pay-per-view homes. Ordering information and up-to-the minute racing information is available at www.hbo.com/sports.

Congratulations to Tony for all he does for charity and to the drivers who join him in the comptetition, this is going to be a great race
Tony is a great guy to help charities like he does. He along with all the other drivers need commended for wanting to help and having a heart. Its gonna be an awesome race… I will be watching..
It’s nice to see a superstar reach out to benefit others. Tony said he’ll donate all the proceeds. I like that idea. That doesn’t mean he’ll be splitting up the concession stand and souvenier revenues. Why should he? Pay-per-view too. It takes a lot of money to promote something this big. I’d like to thank the REAL men in NASCAR that take the time to help children. Go, Tony!
