SET TO REWARD WORLD 100 MOTIVATION
ROSSBURG,
OH (August 25) – Pride and inspiration are key elements
to a successful dirt Late Model racing operation. For the second
consecutive year, Eldora Speedway, along with DirtonDirt.com,
will recognize and reward one team for their motivation at the
World 100.
On Saturday
afternoon, September 6, prior to the grueling qualifying heat
races that will determine the starting grid for the fabled World
100, the team, voted by the media members in attendance, to
be the Best Appearing Car and Crew will receive a $500 cash
award, courtesy of DirtonDirt.com.
“One
of the things that race fans from all over the country love
about Eldora is the brand new graphic schemes that drivers come
up with special for the World 100.” comments Michael Rigsby
of DirtonDirt.com. “A website like ours, that is based
on creativity, wanted to be part of something that rewarded
that. By giving race teams a chance to make a little extra money
for their creative efforts is even better in an era of $4.00
diesel fuel. Chub Frank set the bar high with his ‘Chubzilla’
paint scheme, and based on what we’re hearing from drivers
so far, this year is going to be even better….we’ve
also heard the crew member uniforms are going to step it up
a notch.”
Established
in 1971, the World 100 has grown into the crowned jewel of dirt
Late Model racing, with the revered globed trophy considered
to be the most sought after honor of any driver.
Consistency
in format has contributed to the success of the event. Two rounds
of single-lap time trials make up the Friday (Sept. 5) format,
with the quickest 120 entrants advancing into Saturday’s
rugged 20 car qualifying heat races. Cars failing to make the
cut will be given the opportunity to compete Friday night in
a non-qualifying event.
Three
cars from each of the six 15-lap lap heat races advance into
the World 100, while two B-Mains will each advance another four
cars. The final two available positions in the 28-car starting
field are reserved for the quickest two cars from time trials
that didn’t advance through their heat races.
Members
of the media will be given their ballot to vote on DirtonDirt.com’s
valued Best Appearing Car & Crew award at the Media Luncheon
Saturday afternoon, in the Eldora Ballroom.
