World 100 Notes

• Eldora Speedway hosts the 55th annual World 100, a three-day DIRTcar Super Late Model special that kicks off with twin 25-lap, $12,000 preliminary features Thursday and Friday; heat races and consolations precede Saturday’s 100-lap finale which boasts an event-record $72,000 top prize.
• The total weekend purse exceeds $600,000.
• Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., enters with 11 career Eldora crown jewels, including five World 100 victories (2015, ’17, ’19, ’21-’22).
