Shannon Babb shared that he and his team loaded up and left Eldora Speedway after night one due to a hurt motor and being unable to repair it.

Babb qualified 34th in Group and then crossed the line fifth in Shootout #4. However, he was disqualified for being light at the scales. FloRacing reported, “Shannon Babb was disqualified from his fifth-place finish in Shootout #4 after being three pounds light on the scales.”

Babb and his team loaded up and left Eldora Speedway with the team explaining in a post on Facebook, “Unfortunately our World 100 weekend has been cut short at Eldora Speedway Shannon was in Shootout #4, he had a really great car and rallied from 12th to finish 5th!! 2lbs light at the scales resulted in a DQ, but he broke/bent a valve on the motor with about 5 laps to go in the race, so our night was done regardless.”

“With only one power plant with them and not being able to repair this issue at the track, Shannon and the guys are headed home,” the team continued. “We will try again next time, just unfortunate since we had such a fast car!!”

Babb is not the only driver who will not compete in the rest of the World 100. FloRacing reports that Brandon Overton headed back home to Georgia after winning the Group B feature after his wife went into labor with their second child.

Justin Duty also shared that he began loading up his trailer after he was informed that his girlfriend Jessica Larsen’s water had broke and she had gone into labor.  

“I immediately started looking for flights and loading the trailer to leave,” Duty told FloRacing. He was scheduled to land in Portland at 9:30 AM.

Always Race Day also reported that Curt Schroeder broke a valve ending his World 100.

Our guy Curt Schroeder broke a valve last night in his World 100 prelim and is scratching for the weekend.

He’s the reason I was able to make the trip here and would love it if anyone came down to buy a T-shirt tonight. Still has a door panel available for $40 as well! pic.twitter.com/NvcWliKEjX

Trevor Landrum also shared that his weekend was over after he “broke an oil pump belt” during his Shootout.

Night 2 of the World 100 continues tonight, Friday, September 11th with hot laps scheduled to start at 6:00 PM ET and racing action to take place at 7:30 PM.

Similar to Thursday night, after qualifying, there will be six 12 lap Shootouts with the starting order to the top six inverted based on qualifying. The top eight cars from each Shootout race will advance to their respective feature. There will be two provisionals for the two fastest qualifiers who do not advance to the feature from the Shootout races.

On Saturday for the World 100, there will be six 15-lap heat races. The starting positions will be determined by the track’s Every Lap Matters point standings and then will be inverted based on the top point man’s spin of the Wheel of Misfortune. The top three finishers from each heat race will advance to the World 100 feature. Cars finishing 4th through 11th will go to one of two 15-lap B-Features. The top cars from the B-Features will advance to the World 100. The two highest point earnings who do not advance to the World 100 feature through their heat will receive provisionals and start 19th and 20th in the World 100.

The World 100 will pay $100,000 to win and $5,600 to start.
