Tony Stewart, Eldora Speedway Ready to Put on Show for National Audience

ROSSBURG, Ohio — Eldora Speedway, under the ownership of three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart, takes center stage tonight as the Kubota High Limit Racing series presents the $100,000-to-win Jokers Jackpot, airing live on FS1 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET. This marks the first time a High Limit event will be broadcast on cable television, amplifying the reach of sprint car racing at the iconic half-mile clay oval Stewart has owned since 2004. The event, part of the 42nd annual Kings Royal week, draws NASCAR stars and underscores Eldora’s deep ties to stock car racing’s roots.

Tony Stewart is back in the spotlight! It’s High Limit time!

Stewart, a versatile racing icon with championships in NASCAR, IndyCar, and sprint cars, purchased Eldora to preserve its legacy as the World’s Greatest Dirt Track. His stewardship has elevated the track’s prestige, modernizing facilities while maintaining its gritty charm. Stewart’s vision ensures Eldora remains a bucket-list destination for drivers and fans, hosting premier events like tonight’s Jokers Jackpot. The race features NASCAR standouts like Kyle Larson, locked into the A-Main, and Christopher Bell, battling through a C-Main, alongside High Limit stars Rico Abreu and rising NASCAR prospect Corey Day, both secured in the main event.

Eldora’s NASCAR connection runs deep. The track hosted stock car races in the 1950s and 1960s, with legends like Curtis Turner and Richard Petty competing on its high banks. Its dirt racing heritage shaped early NASCAR drivers, many of whom honed their skills on similar ovals. Stewart’s ownership bridges this history to the present, as NASCAR drivers frequently return to Eldora for sprint car and late model events, drawn by its challenging surface and passionate fanbase.

Tonight’s FS1 broadcast, complemented by FloRacing’s streaming for subscribers, brings the Jokers Jackpot to a national audience. Tickets, starting at $30, are available through Eldora’s website, with pit passes offered for fans seeking behind-the-scenes access. The event follows Wednesday’s Double Down Duels, where Aaron Reutzel and Corey Day claimed victories, setting the stage for a competitive 40-lap A-Main. The format, with C-Mains and B-Mains feeding into the feature, ensures fierce racing as drivers vie for the six-figure prize.
