While there is no question about Hewitt's Eldora ability, the Prelude is a "show" put on for the NASCAR fans who cannot/will not attend a Cup race.

It's not a race where dirt track racing and ability matter...it's about butts in the seats and raising money for the Tony Stewart foundation and the Victory Junction Gang camp. Most of those who do attend have no desire to see a real "race"....they are there for the spectacle.....and 95% of them couldn't spell Hewitt, let alone know of Jack and his accomplishments....
