ROSSBURG, OH— September 7, 2017— Thursday night kicked off the 47th Annual World 100 at Eldora Speedway. 104 drivers and crews flooded the famed Ohio half-mile in hopes of winning the prestigious event. Thursday’s show consisted of a full schedule complete with hot laps, qualifying, heat races, last chance showdowns and two twin $10,000-to-win 25 lap feature races split into odd and even groups.
Darrell Lanigan, of Union, KY, fled to Victory Lane after a late race pass by Jonathan Davenport in the odd feature race. Davenport defended his race long lead until lap 18 when Lanigan was able to make his move. Behind the battle for the lead was another battle between Jimmy Mars, Mike Marlar and Bobby Pierce all vying for the final podium position. Mars was able to secure third by only 0.011 seconds.
During the second and final feature of the evening, Brandon Overton held off multiple charges from Chris Madden to secure the preliminary feature win and the $10,000 check. Although a late race caution fell over the 24-car field, the lead position wasn’t surrendered.
Friday’s action at Eldora Speedway for the World 100 will also have a full schedule of events concluding with two twin 25 lap features which also pay $10,000-to-win. Points collected from Thursday’s and Friday’s finishing order will set the stage for the main event, the World 100.
