Superstars from the United States, Canada and Australia To Compete In Dirt Racing’s Biggest Event

ROSSBURG, Ohio (August 17, 2018) – The Official Entry Form for the 48th Annual World 100 has been released, officially kicking off Dirt Late Model racing’s annual quest to capture the most-coveted prize in the sport – the famed globe trophy – on Saturday, September 8 at Eldora Speedway.

In addition to continuing the late Earl Baltes’ promise of adding $1,000 every year to the winner’s prize – it will be $51,000 in 2018, additional incentives and increases bump the posted awards to a record $436,800 for the three-day weekend scheduled for Thursday-Friday-Saturday, September 6-7-8.

OFFICIAL ENTRY FORM

Jonathan Davenport, a native of Blairsville, Georgia, is the defending champion and a two-time winner of the World 100. In June’s Dirt Late Model Dream, Davenport had a spirited side-by-side battle with rival Scott Bloomquist, of Mooresburg, Tennessee, before suspension woes allowed Bloomquist to cruise to his eighth win in the $100,000-to-win event.

Tickets to all three nights, including reserved seating, are available now at www.EldoraSpeedway.com and by calling the Eldora Speedway box office at (937) 338-3815. Children aged 12 & younger are admitted free to all general admission spectator areas.

Since carved from a cornfield in the natural amphitheater that existed between the Eldora Ballroom and the Wabash River by bandleader Earl Baltes in 1954, Eldora Speedway has grown to be a frontrunner in motorsports growth and stability.
