DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- NASCAR will race on the dirt for the first time since 1970 next season when the Truck Series visits Eldora Speedway in Ohio.

The trucks will go to the Tony Stewart-owned track in Rossburg on July 24 as a lead-in to the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series races later that weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The 2013 Camping World Truck schedule also features the first international event with a September stop at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Ontario. The series also races on a Wednesday night at Bristol Motor Speedway.
