On that big day, you will not want to be caught unprepared. Eldora Speedway weather forecasts will be able to give a person a heads up on what to expect while at the races. They are very detailed and give both the high and the low for each day as well as what the wind strength will be. They are even able to predict if it will remain stable or unstable.

The Big E is located in Ohio and is a half a mile clay oval and has a seating capacity of nearly 20 000. It hosts many well known races and "The World 100" attracts over 200 dirt racers. They will have as many as four different events in one night and if the same driver wins all four he will then earn a special bonus.

The idea of this kind of racing came about in 1993. A group of racers wanted a bigger audience and they then produced a prototype for a NASCAR style truck. It was first shown during the Daytona 500 in 1994 and four other demonstrations were held during the season. These forms of racing became very popular with the public and eventually lead to the creation of the series known as SuperTruck.

There are normally five heats that are run in the Nascar series and there are 25 trucks involved. Any driver that did not advance then automatically did not receive any participation points. This has all changed and the distance of 5 heats has now been changed to either eight or ten laps. A random draw is now used to see the qualifying order. Before this was done according to the speeds raced in the practice round. Another point that has been reviewed is that if one wishes to make a pit stop they can, they are no longer mandatory.

Many racers prefer to use Goodyear tires and since 1997 they have been the sole provider for all three of the top divisions. The major divisions are the Craftsman Truck Series, Nationwide Series and the Sprint Cup Series. In a typical racing weekend teams can use up to 2000 tires.

There are several components that are unique to any racing tire. The Apex is what will control the stiffness and rigidity of the sidewall. The Bead which is the area that allows contact between the tire and the rim. The Racing Eagle tires can have two of these depending on the type of track that one will be racing on. The Carcass Piles is basically the backbone of the tire. This provides strength to the top of the tire as well as providing support.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is named after its current sponsor. It was originally known as Strictly Stock Series and then became known as the Grant National Series. The champion is determined by a point system. Points are given according to where they finished and how many laps that they led.

For every driver that participates in the Eldora Speedway, weather plays a crucial part. Depending on what the weather will be the day of the race, which tire to be used will need to be considered. Without this prior knowledge it could mean a win or a loose.
