What is National Earl Day?

Each year, National Earl Day is devoted to those with a particular qualification and a genuine passion for success. The day is named Earl of those legends named Earl. Although the spelling is getting more popular these days, we hope that those who are lucky enough to be so named have earned it.

Earl baltes

Earl Baltes, the 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. By 1958, he extended the track to its present-day half-mile length.

By 1962, Eldora had a reputation as the favored track for sprint cars, and Baltes began promoting more tracks and events. Baltes sponsored some of the best paying short track events in Ohio and Indiana. The Earl Baltes Highway in Ohio has been named a portion of route 118, the Earl Baltes Highway.
