Worth mentioning: The Truck series returns to Eldora, a dirt track owned by Sprint Cup owner-driver Tony Stewart. …Eldora is the only dirt track on any of NASCAR’s three national series’ schedule. … Rookie William Byron, a Charlotte resident, has won four races this season and leads the standings by 13 points over Matt Crafton. … Byron has little dirt-track experience but recently tested at Boyd’s Speedway in Ringold, Ga. … The field will include more than just Truck regulars – Cup driver Kyle Larson will drive, as will former Cup star Ken Schrader. … John Wes Townley continues to be treated for a possible concussion and will miss the race. … Brady Boswell, an Automobile Racing Club of America driver, will sit in for Townley, who is to be re-evaluated by a doctor Monday.
