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. ‘I ‘m going into it with more of an attitude of having fun, enjoying myself and raising some money for kids and just kind of take it all in,’ Patrick said on Friday between Nationwide Series practices at Bristol Motor Speedway. ‘I realize I have zero experience and I have a lot of other things I need to put my focus in.’ Stewart hosts the annual event with superstars from NASCAR, NHRA and other forms of motorsports to raise money to help needy children.(ESPN), see more about the event, driver lineup, links and history on my Prelude to the Dream Charities page.(3-17-2012)
