DIRTcar Weekly Racing Roundup – Week of June 1

CONCORD, NC – June 3, 2020 – A BIG weekend of racing is upon the DIRTcar Racing world this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Forty-eight DIRTcar Late Models will make the pilgrimage to the hallowed grounds of Eldora Speedway for the inaugural Dirt Late Model Stream Invitational as the headline event of the post-lockdown dirt track racing schedule.

The stars and cars of the Dirt Late Model world will converge on the famed half-mile for two nights of preliminary racing action, featuring a 30-lap, $10,000-to-win Feature on Thursday and Friday before the 67-lap, $50,000-to-win finale on Saturday night.

The #DLMStream will be the kickoff event to Eldora Speedway's 67th consecutive season of racing, thus the race's 67-lap finale Saturday night. Forty-four drivers were part of the original invite list, while four others were added Monday morning after a fan vote that concluded on Sunday night. Tyler & Freddie Carpenter, Tanner English and Rick Eckert were awarded the final four invites.

According to a press release from Eldora Speedway about the status about the 26th Dirt Late Model Dream, originally scheduled for this weekend, the event will be held in 2021.

"In accordance with restrictions with state and federal restrictions on mass gatherings, Eldora officials were forced to reschedule the 26th running of the Dirt Late Model Dream to June 2021 earlier this month. All Eldora-owned and operated parking lots and campgrounds remain closed to the public and the invitational event will be held behind closed doors with all attendees following strict local, state and federal safety measures."

NASCAR STATEMENT

"The NASCAR family, like so many others, is hurt and angered by the immensely troubling events that have taken place across our country in recent weeks. For us to heal and move forward as a nation, we all need to listen more and be united in the stand against racism, hatred, senseless violence and loss of life. And we must all hold ourselves accountable to driving positive change.

 

While our sport has made progress over the years, there remains much work to be done and we fully embrace our responsibility to help bridge the racial divide that continues to exist in our country. We must do better and our commitment to promoting equality and inclusion continues and will never waver."
