Jonathan Davenport(49) and Brandon Overton have combined to win the last four World 100s
After two nights of preliminary racing, the time has come for the 53rd running of the World 100 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
Drivers have earned points during those preliminary nights that have been used to set the heat lineups. A spin of the ‘Wheel of Doom’ on Friday night by points leader Bobby Pierce determined that the top-6 in each race will be inverted. Each heat will be 15 laps in length around the famed half-mile track with the top-3 from each race transferring to the main event.
The winner of the World 100 will receive $56,000 along with the much coveted Globe Trophy.
Here are the results from Thursday’s preliminary racing action:
Hudson O’Neal scores Thursday night Group A World 100 preliminary win
Bobby Pierce dominates Thursday night Group B World 100 preliminary
Here are the results from Friday’s preliminary racing action:
Bobby Pierce does it again earning a Friday night World 100 Group A prelim win
Last lap pass earns Brian Shirley a Friday night World 100 Group B preliminary victory
