It seems a good time was had by all at the fourth annual "Prelude to the Dream" charity race event at Tony Stewart's Eldora Speedway. Stewart himself won the event, and handed Kyle Petty a check for $1,000,000 for Victory Junction Gang Camp. Robby Gordon placed second, in his very first dirt racing event, once again showing that, though he may not be successful in his NASCAR Cup career, he is still one of the best all-around drivers in the business.

Stewart's win was, of course, "controversial," as he does own the track, and he used his car to pack down the surface of the wetter than normal track prior to the event, raising good-natured accusations of "conspiracy" from his competitors. It was Stewart's second win in the event.

In case anyone was wondering, Smoke and his crew did climb the fence.
