Tony Stewart ramps up lobbying for Cup Series race at Eldora Speedway

ROSSBURG, Ohio — Tony Stewart watched NASCAR’s Truck Series drivers go four wide in a battle for the lead in the waning laps and two trucks speed side by side for an incredible finish on Wednesday at Eldora Speedway.

The track’s owner wants more.

Having promoted NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events at his half-mile dirt oval for the past six years, Stewart eyes a NASCAR Cup Series race sometime in the future.

The Eldora truck race is the only national series dirt race on the NASCAR schedule, and Stewart has started to publicly campaign louder for additional NASCAR national series races. NASCAR has routinely said it wants the dirt race to be special for the trucks.
