When he told the IRS the source, it led to an investigation and eventual upheaval of the sale of 50/50 tickets at Eldora. I don't remember them selling them at the Four Crown Nationals the last few years.
BTW, I have never seen a winged car race at Eldora. I saw the first WoO championship in 1978, but they were wingless then. I am going to both nights of the Four Crown this year since Steve Kinser is cutting back on his schedule, so I will finally see a winged car race.

The times I've been there lately they have split proceeds with a food bank and the Tony Stewart Foundation. Enjoy the winged cars at Eldora. Kevin Swindell was a show all by himself the way he was rim riding in the feature.

It was great watching the Indy race parts car running the rim.

The awesome part is the number of meals the saturday portion will cover for the needy. This equates to over 100k meals. Good job race fans.
