NHRA: Ron Capps cannot be described with words Ron Capps

Funny Car racer Ron Capps is not a man of few words. Ask him a question and you will get his deepest, most emotional and sincerest thoughts on any subject. We asked the 2007 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series Funny Car points leader (after seven races) to describe what it means to him to be invited for the third straight year to compete in the Nextel Prelude to the Dream at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on June 6.

Capps, who drives the Brut Revolution Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car for Don Schumacher Racing and has won three Funny Car events so far in 2007 - more than any other driver - will race just about anything in a straight line, around corners, on high-banked short and long ovals, and even in the dirt. So, he took his invitation to race against a star-studded list of drivers in the Nextel Prelude to the Dream on Eldora’s half-mile clay oval for the third time proudly and seriously.

The third annual Nextel Prelude to the Dream will feature 25 world-renowned drivers battling for dirt supremacy, and HBO Pay-Per-View will present the event live to the entire nation. Proceeds from this ground-breaking telecast will support the Victory Junction Gang Camp and the Tony Stewart Foundation.
