An old friend from Ohio, George Starks, covered the Prelude to the Dream, a stock car race contested Wednesday night at the famed Eldora Speedway. Competing were some of the top drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, along with standouts from the NHRA and other racing organizations.
The event has been held each of the last four years, with proceeds benefiting the Victory Junction Gang, founded by Kyle Petty. A story on the Prelude and the charity-driven organization appears on page B3 today. Tony Stewart, who now owns Eldora Speedway, won the race — televised in HBO Pay-per-View — for the second time in three years.
