The Biggest Event In Dirt Late Model Racing Returns: Watch The 56th World 100 Live On FloRacing September 10–12
Top Drivers Ricky Thornton Jr., Bobby Pierce, Jonathan Davenport, and Others To Compete for Nearly $1 Million at Historic Eldora Speedway
AUSTIN, TX — (September 9, 2026) — The biggest names in Dirt Late Model racing will descend on Eldora Speedway for the 56th annual World 100 to compete for nearly $1 million in prize money and fans will be able to watch live on FloRacing September 10–12.
Defending champion Ricky Thornton Jr. returns to Eldora after capturing his first World 100 and first Eldora crown-jewel victory in 2025. Standing in his way will be a field led by pre-race favorites Bobby Pierce and Jonathan Davenport, two of the most accomplished drivers in the event’s history.
Pierce, the 2024 World 100 winner, enters the weekend with 14 career Eldora special-event victories and more than $500,000 in earnings at the track since 2014. He can make history by becoming the fifth driver in Eldora history to win both the Dirt Late Model Dream and World 100 in the same year.
The field will also include former champion Hudson O’Neal, FloRacing Night in America winner Nick Hoffman, Josh Rice, and many more of the country’s top Dirt Late Model drivers along with the debut of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Justin Haley.
Competition begins with time trials, heat races, and two 25-lap features. Each preliminary feature will pay $12,000 to win before the weekend culminates with Saturday’s heat races, consolations and the 100-lap World 100 main event.
