Center Line, Mich. - While race teams and fans alike are gearing up for
the
Mopar Thunder Weekend at Eldora, the minds of the men behind the wheels
of the
machines are turning too. The event, which draws the best of the best
from the
sprint car racing scene worldwide, carries enough prestige to entice
the most
stoic winged drivers to drop the top and ride the cushion in search of
the
$50,000 prize waiting at the conclusion of the event.

Prize money is great, but the drivers that take on the Eldora Speedway
high
banks know what getting the win is really about-claiming the bragging
rights.

The second running of the Mopar Thunder Weekend at Eldora Speedway will
feature some of the biggest names in both the winged and non-winged
series of
sprint car racing. The World of Outlaws and All Star Circuit of
Champions Series
will bring with them the likes of Sammy Swindell, Danny Lasoski, Steve
Kinser,
Chad Kemenah and the rest of the winged warriors. The USAC National
Sprint Car
Series finale will see the non-winged contingent of stars including Jay
Drake,
Dave Darland, Josh Wise, Levi Jones and other drivers from both coasts
do
battle for the $50,000 to win purse.

The first two nights of the weekend will feature the exciting action of
the
All Star Circuit of Champions and the World of Outlaws Sprint Series
doing
battle for Mopar Thunder bragging rights. The USAC National Sprint Car
Series
event finale boasts a $50,000 payout to the top finisher in the A-main
feature
event, and will pay $2,000 to all 26 A-main starters. With a total
weekend purse
of over $200,000, the event will attract some of the best sprint car
drivers
in the world.

The outstanding weekend of open-wheel racing at Mopar Thunder will kick
off
with the All-Star Circuit of Champions on Thursday, August 4, followed
by the
World of Outlaws on Friday, August 5. Mopar Thunder at Eldora,
featuring the
USAC National Sprint Cars, will wrap up the events on Saturday, August
6.
