“All these drivers who took time out of their schedule to come to Eldora, I just can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done,” said Tony Stewart, multi-time racing champion and owner of Eldora Speedway. “We don’t know what the results of the pay-per-view will be, but I’m going to guarantee Kyle Petty and the Victory Junction Gang $1 million from this event. The Victory Junction Gang camps have become such a part of my family too. That’s what this race is about. We all get to have fun and drive dirt cars, but it’s a lot deeper and bigger cause than that.”
The more than three-hour production features all the racing action, including hot laps, qualifying, three heat races, and the 30-lap feature. The broadcast went behind the scenes as 25 world-class drivers went back to their racing roots by competing for nothing more than pride, a trophy and raising money for a great cause.
Pit reporters Dick Berggren and Matt Yocum spent considerable time talking to the drivers as they prepared for and participated in the Old Spice Prelude to the Dream. The live broadcast gave viewers a front-row seat as drivers shared laughs, told stories and simply had fun. And because the race was fun and competitive, the broadcast showed a side of the drivers rarely seen by the public, as they were laid-back with no pressure and no commitments. It was simple, old-school racing, all of which can bee seen in the encore presentations provided by HBO Pay-Per-View.
“That was a lot of fun,” said two-time and reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson after competing in his first Old Spice Prelude to the Dream. “We had a fast car and I passed a lot of guys since I started 16th and ended up in the top-10. I’d get one spot and lose two, then gain two spots and lose one. I’m a lot smarter now and I had a blast. I certainly will be back next year.
“You’re really fighting these cars. Once you get into the corner and the car loads up, it starts catching those ruts. When it starts throwing the car the only way you get it back is by manhandling it back. It’s nice to get in something and throw it around. You can just get in there and drive the heck out of it. It’s a lot of fun.”
