It's Time For Charity Race:

Prelude to the Dream

On Wednesday, June 4, 2008, a small little town in Ohio, will become the center of attention in the racing world.

Twenty-six of the best drivers in the United States will gather together to raise money for sick kids. They will use their skills behind the wheel to try and win a race that will provide money for Victory Junction Camp, Drive for Autism and the Tony Stewart Foundation.

It is the fourth annual, "Prelude to the Dream". It is being held at the historic track, Eldora, in Rossburg, Ohio.

Tony Stewart the track owner, will be hosting the race for some of his NASCAR friends, and friends from other racing forms.

Stewart started the charity race event back in 2005. That night seventeen drivers raced in the event. Kenny Wallace won the inaguaral race.

The following year (2006) Tony Stewart won the race. Last year Carl Edwards held off a hard charging Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon to take home the win.

The charity race was telecast last year for the first time on HBO Pay Per View. Once again, this year, the charity race will be telecast lived on HBO Pay Per View.

Stewart hopes to raise over $1 million for Victory Junction Camp and his own foundation.

Drivers scheduled to appear are: from  NASCAR, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Bobby Labonte, Kevin Harvick, Aric Almirola, Clint Bowyer, Dave Blaney, Carl Edwards, Bill Elliott, Ray Evernham, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Robby Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, David Reutimann, Ken Schrader, Kenny Wallace;

From the NHRA: Ron Capps and Cruz Pedregon. And legendary driver Red Farmer.

So if you don't have tickets to the charity race, check it out on pay per view. It will be well worth the price.
