I say Bowyer. Tony Kanaan should be interesting.

Hope Kanaan got some more seat time. He absolutely sucked last year. People said he would be interesting then too.

Of course it does, it's Eldora.

Bummer, I don't have a cable box 
Yes he is. He was second in the first heat race. This is the first year I haven't been to the Prelude but Kansas kicked my backside.
I would like to watch but I have Time Warner Thievery. I refuse to get a cable box from them.

yeah my dad in sw iowa said he smelled you on your trip from omaha to kc!
i've seen tony finish 2nd at the knoxville latemodel nationals. no way i'd pick against him on dirt, at his own track, against these guys. maybe bowyer. or edwards.by the way, newman DID make huge strides his second year at knoxville. and maybe tony would take one for the team. but having watched him race, i don't think so.
I understand. A few years ago I paid to record the race and I was crewing at the Prelude as a medic. When I got home I tried to watch the race and the last half hour was cut off. I was kinda upset.

First year I haven't bought it. Watching hockey instead. I'm dying to see some super late models, but I'll have to wait until Friday
We got flat track bikes at the local dirt track this weekend, they're fun to watch but I prefer the sprint cars

Wanted to watch but got home too late. Will have to watch on SPEED in a couple of weeks. Can't find any summary on the race right now. Guess HBO still waiting for late PPV buys on west coast.

CLINT BOWYER, (2011 Prelude to the Dream Winner):
You won last year as a car owner, but what’s it mean to finally win the Prelude to the Dream?
“It’s just so much fun to be able to come here and compete. What an awesome racetrack. I’ve always loved this place and I’m very proud of Tony Stewart and everybody behind him who makes this event awesome. There’s a lot of hard work to put on something like this and we are very lucky to have him put forth the effort.”
The track conditions were a lot different than last year. How did that change tonight?
“That’s dirt racing, since you never know what the conditions are going to be and Mother Nature plays a big role in that. It’s been 95 to 100 degrees here for over a week. Under those conditions, it’s going to take the moisture out of it and it is what it is. That’s dirty racing.”
Does winning in your own car make it even more special?
“Absolutely. I’ll tell you, what makes it special is the tremendous amount of work. With the weather that we’ve had, the guys have been driving back and forth and doing a lot of things that you wouldn’t normally do. Just proud of their effort to make the car perform as well as it did.”

I don't think SPEED will have it. They didn't have it last year unless I missed it. The racing last night was not very good.

Ricky Carmichael 6th, kind of surprised at that.
I still want to see one of the Kenny 's win it! I know KW won it in 2005, but that was before it made its way to ppv.

Wonder why Stewart was so far back?
They had a 50K challenge. If you went to the back and won, an extra 50K went to your childrens hospital. Several of the drivers did indeed go to the back to attempt it.

Man watching qualifying it looked like half the cars where already wrecked before the heat race.
Kyle Busch was sure playing bonzai in the feature though. He kept trying to pull that slide job on Almirola but couldnt make it stick.

Earl days are gone. I'm a Moran fan, too. McDowell and any one that can out run Bloomer.
Moran doesn't do well at our home track.
