Eldora Raceway returns to 100% capacity

Eldora Speedway has returned to 100 percent capacity for the first time since the pandemic hit.

Brandon Overton overtook Brandon Sheppard midway through the 100-lap Dirt Late Model Dream on Thursday night and collected $127,000 for his efforts. Tim McCreadie finished in the runner-up spot while Kyle Bronson thrilled the crowd with a rim riding third place effort.
