ELDORA 4-CROWN NATIONALS RESCHEDULED TO 2021
ROSSBURG, Ohio (August 24, 2020) – Eldora Speedway officials have announced the 39th 4-Crown Nationals has been rescheduled to late September 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis.
On August 19, as part of Governor Mike DeWine and the State of Ohio’s continued efforts to fight the spread of the coronavirus, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) issued the “Director’s Order that Provides Mandatory Requirements for Youth, Collegiate, Amateur, Club and Professional Sports.” The robust mandate is the first to address spectators at grandstand events – including speedways – since the state of emergency was declared in March.
The 4-Crown Nationals weekend is anchored by the United States Auto Club and the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship, AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and Silver Crown Champ Car divisions.
In recent years, the 4-Crown has enjoyed a renaissance and evolved into a homecoming for the nation’s premier open wheel racing series. Beginning with a new Friday night event for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars (WoO) in 2008, this was followed by the addition of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions by Mobil 1 Sprint Cars in 2016 which restored the Saturday night program to ‘four crowns.’ The event also celebrates the sport’s past with appearances by historic and vintage cars, and the sport’s future with three days of racing for over 250 USAC .25 Midget racers at “Little Eldora.”
After thoroughly assessing ODH’s requirements for attendees, participants, spectators, and venues, Eldora and series officials made the decision to reschedule the event for 2021.
Fans who purchased reserved seats, general admission tickets and campsites for the 39th 4-Crown should retain their tickets, camping credentials and receipts at this time. Information, including frequently asked questions and answers, has been posted at https://www.eldoraspeedway.com/4crown-covid/. Officials will communicate updated event information direct to patron accounts as it becomes available, on www.EldoraSpeedway.com and via Eldora’s official social channels.
