When is National Earl Day?

Friday June 9th

National Earl Day is each year to those with a particular qualification and a genuine passion for achievement. Earl is the day of those legends named Earl. Although the word is getting more popular these days, I hope those who are lucky enough to be so named have earned it.

Earl baltes

Earl Baltes, a bandleader, went from bandleader to dirt race track owner in 1954 when he converted the El dora Ballroom into Eldora Speedway, a quarter-mile dirt track in 1954. He extended the track to its present-day half-mile length by 1958.

By 1962, Baltes began promoting more tracks and events, and Eldora became the most coveted track for sprint cars by 1962. Baltes sponsored some of the top-paying short track events in Ohio and Indiana. Ohio also named a portion of route 118, the Earl Baltes Highway, in honor of the state's.
