On Wednesday, June 9, the most celebrated dirt track in all of motorsports will host the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Prelude to the Dream. Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, will once again be the site of the all-star dirt Late Model race featuring more than 25 world renowned drivers as they battle for dirt supremacy on the half-mile clay oval, all of which will be presented live to the entire nation on HBO Pay-Per-View with proceeds from the telecast supporting four of the nation’s top children’s hospitals. Carmichael & Almirola will be racing with Team St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in the Prelude along with team members Denny Hamlin [captain], Carl Edwards, Robby Gordon, Ken Schrader and Ray Evernham, and, with the help of the fans, hopes to raise a lot of money for the children’s hospital. Fans can text “Jude” to 90999 to donate. For more race information visit the Jayski Charities Page.(6-2-2010)
UPDATE: When NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver and 15-time AMA Champion Ricky Carmichael takes to the dirt at the famed Eldora Speedway for the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Prelude to the Dream charity race, he’ll have long-time partner Oakley on-board his late model dirt car as he races to raise money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Oakley, which has been a sponsor of Carmichael for the last 19 years in both motocross and NASCAR, will continue its long-standing partnership in the invitation-only charity event hosted by two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Tony Stewart on June 9, 2010.(Turner Motorsports PR)(6-8-2010)
