CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR may be considering adding a dirt race at Eldora Speedway to its Truck Series schedule.
Multiple sources within the series said they've been told a dirt track could be added to the schedule in 2013. Sources also said a Richard Childress Racing truck was prepared for a test at Eldora, owned by three-time Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart.
The test was scheduled to take place Monday or Tuesday, the sources said. Officials at Eldora could not be reached for comment.
Stewart has been asking NASCAR to add a race at his half-mile track in Rossburg, Ohio, for several years. It is the site of his annual Prelude to the Dream charity event.
NASCAR officials declined to address specifically whether Eldora was under consideration for a truck race, but the series is looking at potential venues it hasn't been to before.
"We've made several site visits over the past few months to look at possible future venues for our Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series," spokesman Kerry Tharp said on Tuesday. "We expect the 2013 schedules for both of those series to be finished up and released within the next couple of weeks."
 
my 2 cents,,,,standing room only,,go for it nascar,,,also how bout springfield ,diquone and the moody mile in ny.....
 
As much as I would like to see it, I always thought Nascar stayed away from dirt because of the expense to the owners of having to build a truck or trucks for just one race. Having said that, more power to Tony if he can pull it off.
 
If the race at Eldora happens Kyle Larson can add a truck series win to his already impressive resume.

There was a test there this week a friend of mine even saw an RCR jet parked at the Wapakoneta airport yesterday Oct 16th.

They will only be able to start 25 Trucks,otherwise I'm thinking "demo derby". My guess is they will run this show during "Dream Week",also.
