ROSSBURG, OH – AUGUST 9, 2022– As the cool, crisp air begins to take shape in Western Ohio, the DIRTcar Late Models travel to the iconic Eldora Speedway for the 52nd World 100 on September 8-10.
However, an extra night of racing is on tap as drivers return on Wednesday, Sept. 7, to complete the final 86 laps of the 28th Dirt Late Model Dream.
The $128,000-to-win spectacular isn’t the only event on the card that night, as drivers who haven’t won a Late Model Feature at the track and aren’t already competing in “The Dream” also have an opportunity at Eldora glory.
The event, known as “Chasing the Dream,” will consist of $5,000-to-win Features, and a chance to find Victory Lane at “The Big E” for the first time.

On Thursday, Sept. 8, the traditional World 100 format begins with Qualifying, Heat Races, and two split-field Features paying $12,000-to-win. Drivers will run the same format on Friday, Sept. 10.
Those two events will help set the lineups for Eldora’s iconic six Heat Races, and the $55,000-to-win World 100 on Saturday, Sept. 11.
