HARRISBURG, N.C. -- The Wood Brothers Racing no. 21 Sprint Cup Series driver, Bill Elliott, will step back to grassroots racing and join other high profile racers in the Old Spice “Prelude to the Dream” at Eldora Speedway on Wednesday, June 4th.
This will be Bill's third year participating in the event and all proceeds will go toward the Victory Junction Gang Camp. He will pilot the no. 9 Ray Cook Racing machine carrying the "Bill Elliott 50" logo on the hood and he will sport the Wood Brothers Racing U.S. Air Force fire suit.
The Bill Elliott 50 will be held on October 25th at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA in which the proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.
Bill Elliott commented on how he's looking forward to running at the Eldora Speedway again in hopes that he will make it to the feature this year after being involved in a major wreck on the last lap of the heat race that turned his race car on its roof. He said, "I'm excited about running on a dirt track again and I hope I make it to the main feature this time, It's going to be a lot of fun; I'm really looking forward to it."
The "Prelude to the Dream" will broadcast live and commercial free on HBO Pay Per View where fans can watch Bill along with other NASCAR greats such as Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon and many others as they compete with late model stock cars on the half-mile clay surfaced oval.
The Tony Stewart owned Eldora Speedway hosts an action packed evening of short track dirt racing that allows the drivers to get back to a dirt track where motorsports originated and attempt to catch the prized trophy and winner’s pride.
Racing events include hot laps, qualifying, heat races and the 30 lap features will all begin at 7pm EDT on HBO. For more information on how to order and see the event please visit www.hbo.com.

Here's Tony Stewart's (among others) qualifying race. It seems Million Dollar Bill broke a belt in his qualifying race and couldn't get it fixed in time for the feature.
----- SPOILER ALERT -----
It seems Tony Stewart won, with Robby Gordon (first time on a dirt oval in a late model) came in second. I'm a big Robby Gordon fan.
