The seventh annual Prelude to the Dream charity race is set for Wednesday night at Eldora Speedway in Ohio. The race features drivers from NASCAR, IndyCar and the NHRA competing in Dirt Track Late Model Stock Cars with the proceeds benefitting four children's hospitals, Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, N.C., Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Medical Center in Dallas.

 

Drivers have been placed into four teams with each team competing for their designated hospital. Teams add the five highest finishing driver results and the team with the lowest score wins. The winning team donates 30% of the net proceeds to their respective hospital while second donates 25% and third and fourth donate 20% each.

 

The following drivers make up the four teams in tonight's race:

 

Team Levine: Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Bill Elliott, David Reutimann, Austin Dillon, Ray Evernham and Cruz Pedregon.
