Here's Eldora's paid pre-entry list as of 7/8, 83 total. This is sorted by driver last name. The very first column is the order in which the entries came in.

Should be another wild weekend of racing and dodging some storms here and there. Not overly hot with highs in the 80's each day.

Wish I could be there!  Should be a great show.  I think there's 25+ drivers who could win this thing.  Obviously they'd need a couple things to go their way, but very competitive field for sure!  Go BALOG! 

Tj Stutts & Dylan Cisney are a couple nice surprises to see on there. This should be the largest car count Eldora has had since very early Kings Royals or very early era Eldora Nationals of the late 70's early 80's. (not counting the 03' Mopar Million) 

There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!!!! And that's who I want to Win it!! Madsen, Brownie, Rico, Buddy K.. Just not one of the normal top 3 or 4.

And a Safe week to all....

Similar thoughts. An underdog non-outlaw or outside the top 5 in points Outlaw would be my preference. I don't even care if it's someone from PA! but would prefer a Midwest guy. 

Oh and I forgot, No Larson please. I ALWAYS cheer for Larson in NASCAR and quite often in sprint cars too but this money would be more life changing for someone else I feel like. 

I think the big story this week will end up being what the weather ends up doing/not doing - and at what time of the day it occurs. 

There may be times where the track is heavy and that could lead to a big shakeup in points when it transitions.

I think it just adds to the excitement level, as it throws in a big wild card.

Time trials pays 100 points, heats 200 and A-feature 300.

And on a light-hearted note, I think fans will need goggles...but it'll be for mud balls here and there over the course of the 4-day weekend.

Some of my favorite Eldora memories are when a quick storm would hit after time trials, for example, and it would lead to wild racing conditions for the rest of the night.

But Eldora will do whatever they can to get the races in...whether it's as scheduled, or revised by the weather...no different than how Knoxville does it.

Does anyone know who is going to be on the mic in the booth for the Flo broadcast? 

Chet Christner - Blake Anderson - Dillion Welch and someone else.

Thanks! Hopefully Chet and Blake don't walk all over each other. Lol. They are both good though. 

Anthony Macri 'stepping out' of the 39m, Lance Dewease to drive it at the Eldora Million. Either someone hacked the Macri Motorsports twitter account or it's some sort of April Fools in July. WTF???

Wait...Wouldn't Chet be doing the USAC Midget show???  

MRP has updated tonights entries from what it shown earlier today:

Lance Dewease Fayetteville, PA

39M

So has Tony Stewart rewritten the WoO guide to WoO members in Good Standing or have the WoO regulars/rebels decided to go for it all and hand Bill Rose the WoO championship? Or both?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

I don't know but Tony & Cody Jacobs will certainly not be writing each other love letters anytime soon. 

Cuz its wirth discssoin wen won pirson kan due gud an altar an entyre orginizations polisee. 

Even though I may not know you, I

Dude, sober up!

Tonight's straight up by points heats are posted - winners redraw for starting spots 1-6, same with 2nd and 3rd place finishers; balance to B, C's and D.

Forecast now looks pretty decent through Friday.

Rod is likely a skilled troll who likes to stir things up, like WingedStrawser. Occasionally he asks good questions which are worth answering, even if only for new fans who find this board and have the same questions. There are only like 12 of us left on this board and like it or not, Rod is one. 

those 14 car heats taking 3 with the cream having risen look pretty stout. Should be some real barn burners, especially after the track blows off. And please no rain showers to goof things up.
