ROSSBURG, Ohio — For the second year in a row, The Knight Before The Kings Royal has fallen to rain and Eldora Speedway has adjusted the weekend schedule.
With rain hitting the half-mile oval around 10 p.m. on Friday and more showers expected, officials made the call to postpone the remainder of the program to Saturday afternoon with NOS Energy Drink Heat Races, a C-Main, DIRTVision Fast Pass Dash, Micro-Lite LCS, and #KnightBefore Feature still left on the docket.
The pit gates will open at 9 a.m. ET, spectator gates open at 10 a.m., and heat races resume at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Following the conclusion of the #KnightBefore program, the track crew will take several hours to work on the surface and then the 39th Kings Royal goes green.
The Eldora Crown Jewel begins as a completely new program with a $175,000-to-win, $5,000-to-start Feature capping it all off.
