On Wednesday, June 9, twenty five of the top drivers in motorsports will gather at the Eldora Speedway for the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Prelude to the Dream.  The sixth annual event will be presented live to the entire nation at 7pm on HBO Pay-Per-View with proceeds from the telecast going to support four of the nation’s top children’s hospitals: Levine Children’s Hospital, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

This year’s Gillette Fusion ProGlide Prelude to the Dream will be a team event. The drivers are broken up into four teams, each representing a children’s hospital. TEAM LEVINE includes Kyle Busch (captain), Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, David Reutimann, Dave Blaney and Marcos Ambrose.
Proceeds from the telecast will go to support the four children’s hospitals, with the payout breakdown as follows:

 Winning team receives 45 percent of net money raised.
 Second-place team receives 25 percent of net money raised.
 Third and fourth place teams each receive 15 percent of net money raised.

The lowest team score wins, and only the top-five drivers from each team will be scored. For example, if Team Levine has finishes of first, fourth, seventh, 11th and 18th, respectively, from its top-five drivers, its score will be 41. In the event of a tie, the sixth driver will be scored.

“We wanted to shake things up a little bit this year,” said Tony Stewart, two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and owner of Eldora Speedway. “The team concept adds another level of excitement because there’s now a race within the race. As individual drivers, we all want the big trophy at the end of the night. But it’s cool knowing that battles for fourth and fifth and even 11th and 12th will make a big difference for what children’s hospital ends up with the big check.”

“We plan to raise a lot of money for all of these hospitals, no matter where their teams finish. We’ve always set a goal to raise $1 million…I think we have our best shot yet to reach that magic number.”

Remember, TEAM LEVINE needs your help. Text to give, donate online, or order the race on HBO!
