Two teams. One race. $80,000 on the line. 

A battle that began in April comes to a dramatic conclusion when the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions owner’s title is decided Saturday during the 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway. 

Two-time defending champion Clauson-Marshall Racing enters the 4-Crown Nationals in a rare position, trailing Rudeen Racing by four points. 

Both teams have handled their fair share of adversity this season with primary drivers Tyler Courtney and Zeb Wise missing time due to injury. Likewise, both teams have overcome these challenges to set up the closest championship battle the series has seen under Tony Stewart’s ownership. 

Now, it’s time for the battle to be decided at “The Big E.” Let’s take a look at the tale of the tape. 

Rudeen Racing

Rudeen Racing enters the season finale with eight wins, 23 top fives and 35 top-10 finishes. 

Zeb Wise was behind the wheel for all eight of those wins and every top-five finish. 

Parker Price-MIller filled the seat of the No. 26 and recorded two top-10 finishes while Wise recovered from an injury in May.

Zeb Wise - 41 races. 8 wins. 23 top fives. 33 top 10s. Avg. Finish: 6.18.
