Chad Hillier has waited a long time to race at Eldora Speedway. He has visited the hallowed half-mile in the past as a spectator. He also has journeyed to the track as a crew member with a World of Outlaws team. This weekend he will get the chance to strap into the cockpit and turn his first laps on one of the most famous race tracks in the country.
Hillier traveled to Eldora last season for an event, but Mother Nature interrupted those plans. He will have two opportunities this weekend to tackle the high-banked high-speed oval, as the World of Outlaws will contest two full nights of racing on Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14, with the cameras from SPEED rolling. The event will be broadcast on Sunday, May 13 at 2 p. m. Eastern. Competing on one of the biggest stages in sprint car racing for the first time does not intimidate him.
“There is always the first race jitters, but I m really excited about heading there, ” said Hillier, driver of the Dirt Inc. Maxim. “It s a real high-speed place. Every time we have gone there to whether to watch or work. I have wanted to race there. Hopefully the weather holds this weekend, and we get the chance to do it. ”
