The Kings Royal is a major sprint car racing event held annually at Eldora Speedway near New Weston, Ohio, United States.
Regarded as one of the world's most prestigious sprint car races, it awarded a $175,000 USD winner's prize since 2019.
First run in 1984,[1] the Kings Royal saw Eldora Speedway promoter Earl Baltes offering $50,000 to the winner of a 40-lap event.
Steve Kinser won the inaugural race, which sees the winner seated on a throne in victory lane while adorned with a crown and robe and carrying a scepter.
The calendar calls for the Joker's Wild on Wednesday, Historical Big One on Thursday, Knight Before on Friday, and the 39th Kings Royal on Saturday.
