Danica to run Prelude to the Dream:

  • Danica to run Prelude to the Dream: #7-Danica Patrick has committed to drive in team owner Tony Stewart’s Prelude to the Dream Late Model charity race at Eldora Speedway. Patrick said the June 6 event will be only her second time driving on dirt. The other was in a go-kart on a track outside of Charlotte Motor Speedway when she was about 14 years old. Stewart hosts the annual event with superstars from NASCAR, NHRA and other forms of motorsports to raise money to help needy children. Other drivers who have committed so far include: Ryan Newman, Kenny Wallace, Bobby Labonte, Ty Dillon and Aric Almirola.(ESPN)(3-16-2012)
