Spencer Lee July 27, 2013 Fox Sports September 7, 2013 The 2013 Mudsummer Classic (formally the CarCash Mudsummer Classic presented by CNBC Prime's The Profit) was a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race held on July 24, 2013, at Eldora Speedway in New Weston, Ohio. The race was the first dirt track event held by a NASCAR national touring series (Cup, Xfinity, Trucks) since 1970. Contested over 153 laps, the race was the tenth of the 2013 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. Ken Schrader of self-owned Ken Schrader Racing won the pole position, and became the oldest pole sitter in NASCAR history at 58 years of age. Austin Dillon of Richard Childress Racing won the race, while Kyle Larson and Ryan Newman finished second and third, respectively. The qualifying procedure for the race was unique compared to other NASCAR events; drivers' qualifying times set the starting grids for five heat races to determine the feature race's starting lineup, while the top five of a last chance qualifier (LCQ) advanced to the feature. Schrader, Jared Landers, Timothy Peters, Kenny Wallace and Jeb Burton won the heat races, while Brennan Newberry won the LCQ. The feature's format was also distinctive, as it was divided into three segments, lasting 60, 50 and 43 laps. In the feature, Larson took the lead from Peters on lap 39, and later battled with Dillon for the win. Dillon claimed the victory after he retained the lead on the green–white–checkered finish for his fifth career Truck Series win. Background The last race run on dirt in a NASCAR national touring series occurred on September 30, 1970, at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh in a Grand National Series race, which was won by Richard Petty.Bruce Kenny https://sports.yahoo.com/news/richard-petty-recalls-last-nascar-132030292--nascar.html Richard Petty recalls NASCAR dirt race Yahoo!

In segment 1, Timothy Peters took the lead from pole-sitter Ken Schrader on lap 15, and led for 23 laps until Kyle Larson took the lead on lap 39, who led for the remainder of the segment. In the final five laps of the segment, the first caution of the race flew for debris, and the beneficiary was Max Gresham, who was the first driver at least a lap down, which allowed him to regain a lap. In the second segment, Larson continued to lead for a total of 50 laps until Austin Dillon passed him on lap 89Spencer Reid http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/07/24/austin-dillon-eldora-speedway-race-results-winner.html Dillon thrills in exciting Eldora victory NASCAR July 25, 2013 September 6, 2013 after the former collided with Germán Quiroga.Bruce Kenny http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/07/24/kyle-larson-eldora-speedway-mudsummer-classic-nascar-camping-world-truck-series.html MISCUE FORCES LARSON TO SETTLE FOR SECOND NASCAR July 25, 2014 July 2, 2014 September 1, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130901101137/http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/07/24/kyle-larson-eldora-speedway-mudsummer-classic-nascar-camping-world-truck-series.html dead One lap later, another caution was flown for debris, and Gresham was again the beneficiary.
