Sunday afternoon’s 30th anniversary of the inaugural Rich Vogler Classic is special in a myriad of ways. First, Sunday again brings to the forefront our remembrance of the winningest driver in USAC’s history at 171 victories.
No track has hosted more USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car events than Eldora Speedway with 201. No track will punch as much high-profile sprint car racing action into two nights than the famed half-mile dirt oval this coming weekend for a pair of consecutive evenings of USAC and NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday, May 7-8.
When you think of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, Eldora Speedway is one of the first tracks you think of. Last year, the Outlaws were locked out of Rossburg, Ohio for the first time in Series history. We didn’t get to race two in May, we didn’t get to crown a king in July, and no crowns were handed out in September. It was sad, quite frankly.
