As the cool, crisp air begins to take shape in Western Ohio, the DIRTcar Late Models return 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” 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 $10,000-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.
