In recognition of the 40th running of the 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway on Friday and Saturday, track officials announced that the event will offer a new special award - the NKTelco Broadband Bonus.

If a driver sweeps all four features during the Saturday night finale, he or she will earn a $40,000 bonus. With the bonus, plus $10,000-per-feature winner's purse, the winning driver would earn $80,000.

The Saturday night program features the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets, USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars, USAC Silver Crown and Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars.

Friday night's racing card consists of full programs for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars and USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets, plus USAC Silver Crown Series qualifying.

Legendary driver Jack Hewitt is the only driver to sweep the 4-Crown Nationals.
