On July 24, the trucks will make their dirt debut at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, the.5-mile track owned by three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart. This event will be the first of two Wednesday night races for the series, joining Bristol Motor Speedway's popular mid-week race on Aug. 21.
"We've been looking at getting the trucks back to short tracks -- to the roots of racing including the dirt -- and we're excited to announce our 2013 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will race at Eldora Speedway in July," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations. "The door-to-door racing that our truck series is known for plus Eldora's popularity and Tony's dedication to putting on great shows for the fans is a perfect fit. We'll have a maximum starting field of 30 trucks at Eldora. More details on the race format are still being developed."

“It was always fairly understood that Danica — she’s our spokesperson, has been in our successful Super Bowl advertising for the past (seven),” Parsons said.
“Go Daddy and Danica are a team and we’ve been a team for a long time. It would be difficult to figure out who has benefited the most from our relationship. I would think Go Daddy would have a little more. It’s been a true partnership, and I don’t see that ending any time soon.”
