Stewart wins Prelude to a Dream

With threatening skies most of the day, the rain stayed away long enough to run the 4th Annual Prelude to a Dream at the half-mile Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.  Kevin Harvick started the race on the pole, but Tony Stewart passed him and outside pole-sitter Matt Kenseth, on the first lap and never looked back.  Stewart won the event with Robby Gordon finishing second, 1.5-seconds back.  After the race, a relieved Stewart said about the rain, ""I'm probably going to die of ulcers. This has not been a week that's been kind from a nerves standpoint.  I'm just thankful we got it in."  This is Stewart's second win in the event's four year history.
