Following the next NHRA national event June 3-6 at the 13th annual United Association Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Joilet, Ill., Ron Capps and Cruz Pedregon will get even more seat time.

Capps and Pedregon are competing in Tony Stewart’s 6th annual Prelude to the Dream Late Model stock car race on June 9 at Eldora Speedway’s half-mile clay oval in Rossburg, Ohio.

“I’ve been in it every year he had it, and this year it is going to be a little different because he’s going to have a team format to raise money,” Capps said. “It should be pretty neat.”

HBO Pay-Per-View will televise the event, and proceeds from the telecast will support four of the nation's top children's hospitals: Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, N.C., and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Capps is competing on Team Riley with Clint Bowyer (captain), Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon, Brian Vickers, A.J. Allmendinger, and Kenny Wallace. Vickers  is likely going to be replaced since it was announced Friday he will miss the remainder of the NASCAR season because of blood clots in his lungs and left leg.

Pedregon is in the Team Cincinnati fold with Kasey Kahne (captain), Joey Logano, Stewart, Kevin Harvick, and Bill Elliott.
