IROC to Eldora?

UPDATE Defending IROC champion Tony Stewart said he still is talking to IROC officials about hosting an event at his dirt track, Eldora Speedway, in Ohio. The International Race of Champions is on hold because no sponsor has stepped forward since Crown Royal pulled out. The traditional opener at Daytona already has been canceled. ESPN.com Blount Blog

04/08/06 Tony Stewart said he's still working on International Race of Champions officials in hopes of getting an IROC race run at Eldora Speedway, the half-mile dirt oval Stewart owns near Rossburg, Ohio.

"I really believe Eldora is capable of hosting that event and doing a nice job," Stewart said.

Crown Royal, which sponsors IROC, has signed on as a sponsor of the Kings Royal on July 15, one of the year's major events at Eldora. ThatsRacin
