1 MONTH ALERT: 40th Kings Royal Brings $175,000 Payday

ROSSBURG, OH (June 14, 2023) – A new king will be crowned at Eldora Speedway in July. King the 40th.

The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series returns to the “Big E” for the two-day Kings Royal weekend – featuring the Knight Before the Kings Royal on Friday, July 14, and the $175,000-to-win 40th Kings Royal on Saturday, July 15.

Brent Marks made history at the 39th edition of the event last year, winning his first Kings Royal event and second six-figure race in three days – having won the $100,000-to-win Historical Big 1 the Thursday before the Kings Royal. When the Series visited Eldora in May, Logan Schuchart and Rico Abreu claimed victories, hoping to translate them into their first Kings Royal triumph this year.

There have been five different Kings Royal winners in the last five years. Ten-time Series champion and five-time Kings Royal winner Donny Schatz is the last driver to win the event in back-to-back (to back) years (2016-2018).
