Earl Baltes former owned of Eldora Raceway dies

[Dan Dlabay]

I have seen many good dirt track races at Eldora Speedway since the 70's. The Kings Royal is one of the best dirt sprint car races around. May he rest in peace and be blessed by God.

Sad to hear that..

He was once heck of a race promoter! and had many big money shows over the years like the yearly World 100 that paid $100,000 to win as example.

I have been there many times, and a friend of mine Larry Moore who is retired now, had won the World 100 three times there.

It does not matter what was racing there, Sprints, Late Models, Modified's, there was always going to be some fast racing and a good show.

The last I heard Tony Stewart still owned the track...
