I did and it was awsome. I know some of the people on here dont like NASCAR but if you like late models and some good racing you would be impressed like I was.

I ordered the pay per view on the good cause for the Victory Junction Gang @ Eldora Speedway, it was well worth the $25.00 and some exciting racing with the Nascar Boys in those Late Models, all money raised from tickets to donations to pay per view orders went to a good cause for some kids who are loved, awesome racing...

I ordered because I thought it might be fun and the proceeds went to a great cause. Little did I know it would be the most fun race I've seen this year that featured NASCAR drivers. The racing reminded me of the good old days of ESPN's Thunder series but only with late models.

Watching Gordon duel with Edwards and Shrub was a Mastercard moment (priceless). It was good stuff.. JPM showed pretty well considering he had only one hot lap session before racing for the first time ever on dirt. I say next year add Castroneves, Danica and maybe one or two others.

Enjoyed it a lot.

Oh yeah, had to love that Elliott/Newman crash. Hard racing for a tranfer spot.

I agree when the Elliott/Newman crash happened I jumped out of my chair yelling that is racing. Did anyone hear what Capps said?  The new IROC.

I was jumping out of my chair in the feature cheering for Gordon. I haven't cheered for a TV race since last year's Indy.

How about those passes by Gordan and Edwards?

I just re-watched the feature on the replay. (I taped this too and am glad I did). That was an incredible race.

Gordon and Edwards swapped the lead three or four times in four laps and the last lap was something to see. Gordon made that move for second in turn one and had great momentum toward first but just couldn't keep it from sliding up the track and then almost three-wide coming through three and four to the checks!! It was a great race.

Poor Schrader. Third on the last restart and he fell back to at least seventh (maybe eighth) when he was caught behind Pedregon. Then back to fourth at the finish and he was coming toward the front!

Did I mention it was a great race? The best $25 I've spent on a race in a long time.

AFTER WATCHING THAT RACE LAST NIGHT, MY WIFE AND I BOTH SAID WERE ARE GOING NEXT YEAR, THAT IS SOME OF THE BEST RACING I EVER SEEN. I'M NOT A GORDON FAN, BUT HE DID SOME GREAT DRIVING. I SURE WISH TONY WOULDN'T'T HAVE WRECKED BUT HEY THAT JUST RACING. I REALLY THINK THEY DID A GREAT JOB FOR PUTTING THIS ON FOR THE VICTORY JUNCTION GANG.

Edwards outruns other NASCAR drivers at charity duel in the dirt

ROSSBURG, Ohio (AP) - Carl Edwards outran fellow NASCAR Nextel Cup stars Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon on Wednesday night to win a charity race on a small dirt track owned by driver Tony Stewart.

Prelude to the Dream Highlights
Carl Edwards takes the checkered flag at Prelude to the Dream. See highlights from Tony Stewart's all-star race on dirt.

Edwards won the third annual Nextel Prelude to the Dream at Eldora Speedway, a 53-year-old track carved out of farmland in western Ohio.

"It's just unreal," Edwards said, referring to how close the race was and how Gordon and Busch pressed him. "I've sweated out a lot of finishes in a dirt car when you can't see behind you. I knew they were right there on my tail though."

About 20,000 people jammed the small grandstand, surrounding stands and grassy hillsides to watch the spectacle.

Edwards started in the No. 2 position, quickly overtook Ken Schrader and held off the surging Gordon, and then Busch.

The event on the oval, high-bank track featured 26 drivers, each driving a 2,300-pound late-model stock car packing more than 800 horsepower.

Gordon, who finished third, took the lead on the 11th lap of the 30-lap race, but was almost immediately overtaken by Edwards, who never trailed again.

"I was right in the middle there, and Carl got back by me on the bottom," Gordon said. "I just lost a little bit of momentum there and just wasn't able to get it back."

Gordon raced at Eldora as a youth, but last ran on dirt in 1991.

"Eldora is one of those places you're always in awe of - the first time you come here, no matter how many times you come here. There is no other track like it," Gordon said. "It's high-banked. It's fast. It's the Talladega of dirt. I take a lot of pride in the fact that I raced here as a kid growing up and the things I learned here."

It was the first time racing on dirt for stock car rookie Juan Pablo Montoya, the former Formula One driver who won the Indianapolis 500 in 2000.

He hit the wall during a qualifying heat, crumpling his front fender. His crew was able to repair the damage, but he had to start in the 25th spot.

"I picked up a lot of respect for the guys that run in dirt," said Montoya, who finished 15th. "It's very hard to appreciate how tough it is. It takes a lot."

Stewart was involved in an accident on the 17th lap when Bobby Labonte hit the wall, causing Stewart to hit the back of Kasey Kahne's car and then the wall. Stewart finished 22nd.

Other big names included Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick and Bill Elliott.

Thousands of fans clogged the rural roadways around the small track and choked the entrances to see the race, which was broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View.

A sea of trailers, vans and buses camped in parking lots. People finished tailgating and packed up their lawn chairs as the race drew near.

Frank Graham, of Dayton, groused about how far away he had to park, but lightened up as he walked up to the entrance. Wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with the name "Stewart," Graham said he was also excited to see Gordon and Montoya.

Graham said he was interested in seeing how the drivers would handle the dirt track.

"It handles completely different. They slide, they slide around the corners," he said. "They all think they can race, but you get up here and it kind of separates the men from the boys when they do this."

Bernie Wheeler, of Kettering, said he appreciates the history of the 50-year-old-plus track, which helped give rise to NASCAR.

"Isn't this how it all started years, and years and years ago? It was dirt tracks," he said.

For Graham's wife, Diane, it was a chance to see the drivers.

"It's the closest you get to real Cup trackers," she said. "That's why I come."

Eldora, known as The Big E, is about 40 miles north of Dayton. Stewart bought the speedway in 2004 from Earl Baltes, who built it in 1954.

Proceeds from the race go to the Tony Stewart Foundation and the Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, N.C., which serves children ages 7 to 15 with life-threatening health issues. The camp was formed by NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series driver Kyle Petty and wife, Pattie, to honor the life of their late son, Adam.

"I feel so fortunate to have a facility and a lot of friends that are also supportive of Victory Junction," Stewart said. "It wasn't hard to put this event together from the standpoint of getting the drivers to come."

We ordered it and really enjoyed it, Money well spent. We got to see a side of Tony that you don't normally get to see. He was everywhere and always smiling and joking and really enjoying everything, Only saw him not smiling 1 time and that was right after his wreck......I kinda wish they would have shown the modifieds and the other cars that had raced.......
