Rain washes out
World 100 Action
ROSSBURG, OH (Sept. 7) – Severe thunderstorms and persistent rains
washed out Friday’s portion of the 42nd annual World 100 at Eldora
Speedway, after 45 of the 123 cars on hand had taken their turn against
the timing clocks. As a result, the track officials have
announced contingency plans for Saturday.
The admission gates will open at 10:00, with the driver meeting at
11:00 a.m. to review the format for Saturday’s chase for the fabled
globed trophy and the $45,000 victory check. Once the track
prep is completed, the cars will undergo one more practice session,
followed by one-round of timed qualifying laps.
At the time of the weather cancellation, Chris Madden was atop the
qualifying charts with a clocked of 15.499 seconds around the historic
.500-mile clay oval. That timed effort has been eliminated,
as all cars will now have to return to the qualifying lanes.
Saturday night’s time schedule remains intact at this point, with the
qualifying heat races slated to take the green flag at 7 p.m., followed
by the B-Features/Scrambles and the century grind.
