THE COMPETITION:

Sprint Car Racing’s very best will converge on Eldora Speedway this week. High Limit stars. World of Outlaws stars. Invaders from California, Iowa, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and all parts between.

Which group will reign supreme and come out on top? That question will be answered in the form a friendly competition that will track finishes each night this week at Eldora.

The Whistle Stop presents The Battle For Bragging Rights

Drivers will be divided into one of three groups:

  • Team High Roller: full-time High Limit Racing drivers
  • Team Outlaw: full-time World of Outlaws drivers
  • Team Invader: drivers not carrying full-time status in the two series above

Points will be awarded each night to the top five finishing drivers in each group. 25 points will be awarded to the Feature winner, 23 for second, 22 for third, 21 for forth, 20 for 5th and so on. Each group’s nightly points total will be comprised of their five highest finishing drivers. At the conclusion of the four days of racing, one group will walk away with bragging rights over the rest.

Here’s where it gets fun….

The top five highest point earners at the conclusion of the weekend – regardless of group – will have the opportunity to support their favorite organization or cause. Each driver will have a $1,000 donation made in their name to the charity of their choice, courtesy of the Whistle Stop.
