*** DART
Winternationals Tire Rule and Safety Equipment Bulletin***
|
|
CORONA, CA (December 13, 2010) - Officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series have announced the tire rule for the 35th Annual
DART Winternationals. The tire rule will be in effect for all 6 nights
of the event. The 35th Annual DART Winternationals will take
place at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL held from Monday February 7th
to Saturday, February 12th.
The
tire rule for the East Bay Winternationals will be as follows in 2011;
Hoosier 1100, 1200, 1300, LM 20, LM40, 1600 and the shoulder plated D55
will be allowed and the American Racer SD23, SD33, SD38, SD44, and MD56
can be utilized. Tires will be checked on the dimensions of
circumference and width according to the LOLMDS Rule Book. Wheel widths
will also be checked on the dimensions as outlined in the LOLMDS Rule
Book. Additionally, each competitor must use the same set of 4 tires for
both time trials and heat race in order to maintain their original
starting spot in their assigned heat race. A Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series Official will mark these tires prior to the competitor going out
for time trials. If a competitor does not use the same tires that they
qualified on for their heat race, the competitor will start the heat
race from the tail of the field.
If a
driver has a flat tire during their time trials, they must take that
tire to LOLMDS Technical Director, AJ Bingham, for inspection. He will
determine if the competitor will be relegated to the tail of the field
or if the competitor will be allowed to used a previously used tire of
the same compound and retain their assigned starting position in their
heat race.
The
use of a head and neck restraint device/systems, certified to SFI Spec
38.1 is required, per the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Rule Book.
This rule went into effect on September 1st, 2010. Any driver
that has not entered in an LOLMDS competition or has not reached their
three-race grace period after this rule went into effect will still
receive the three-race grace period or the remainder thereof, but must
comply once they have exceeded the grace period during the 6 races that
make up the DART Winternationals.

Bloomquist and
Wall Take Top Honors at Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Banquet in
Indy
|
|
CORONA, CA (November
24, 2010) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series wrapped up its 2010
season on Saturday Night, November 20th with its awards banquet at Lucas
Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN was
crowned the 2010 National Champion for the second time and Chris Wall of
Springfield, LA took the Quarter Master "Rookie of the Year" honors.
For the 47-year-old
Bloomquist, the 2010 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National
Championship marks the eighth national touring title of his Hall-of-Fame
career. Bloomquist picked up the 500th win of his career in
the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned "Jackson 100" at
Brownstown (IN) in September. It was among his series-high 9 main-event
wins this season. His career total of wins on the series is now at 26,
which leads the series all-time wins list. He also recorded 26 top five
finishes and 34 top ten finishes, both which were the most of any driver
on the series tour in 2010.
Bloomquist also
picked up several other awards to go along with his $75,000 check from
the points fund for winning the championship. Bloomquist Race Cars
Chassis took top honors in the Chassis Builder Challenge for the second
year in a row. Bloomquist Race Cars scored 18 wins in the 39-race
series schedule with Bloomquist' aforementioned nine series wins. Jimmy
Owens of Newport, TN, who finished second in the final points standings
for the second year in a row, won eight times. Dan Schlieper of
Sullivan, WI, who finished tenth in the points, took the other series
win this year for Team Zero.
Bloomquist also took
home a $500 product certificate from AFCO for the most heat race wins, a
$1,500 check from E3 Spark Plugs for second place in the E3 Spark Plugs
TV Challenge, a set of rods from Dyers Rods and 10 sheets of aluminum
from Wrisco Industries. He also received a product award from Wiles
Drive Shafts, a set of four springs from Eibach Springs, and a product
award from Performance Bodies.
Tommy Hicks,
Bloomquist's Crew Chief, was honored for the second year in a row as the
"DirtonDirt.com" Crew Chief of the Year. Hicks received a check for
$500 and a trophy for the honor. Michael Rigsby representing
www.dirtondirt.com made the presentation to Hicks.
In his victory
speech, Bloomquist thanked a multitude of people including his family,
sponsors, crew, and acquaintances "Winning championships are
definitely about finishing races. This year we won a lot more races than
last year and we are really proud to be a part of this series and I hope
everybody else is too. My crew did a great job this year as well, and I
have to thank them for all of their help." Bloomquist' crew consists of
Bruce Nunnally, Robbie Jones, Tony Wiggins, Jesse Kerns and crew chief
Tommy Hicks.
"I have to thank Bob
and Barb Miller for their support, they are like family to me, they
couldn't be here tonight, but we are thinking of them and all I can say
is thank you," to the couple who are longtime supporters of Bloomquist
with their Miller Brothers Coal and Hawkeye Trucking sponsorship.
"Of course I have to
thank my wife Katrina, my mother Georgie, and my daughter Ariel, they
couldn't make it to all the races, but I just want to thank them for
being there for me and for their help with the souvenir trailer. A
special thanks goes to the promoters for having Lucas Oil events and all
the fans that came out to support us. This was our 30th year
of racing and it feels good to cap it off with a championship."
"The sponsors we
have have played such a significant role in our success over the years
and this year was no exception. I have to thank Allstar Performance,
Sweet Manufacturing, VP Racing Fuels, Hoosier Tires, Arizona Sports
Shirts, Lane Automotive, Roush-Yates Racing Engines, Ohlins, and all the
rest of our product sponsors that help us out, we appreciate all of
you."
"I want to thank
Forrest Lucas for all he has done for racing, the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series is the best series from top to bottom in racing. With the
news that CBS will be televising the Show-Me 100, hopefully that will
open some more doors along the way for everyone in the sport. By far,
the Lucas Oil Series has the best TV package right now of any
dirt-racing series," said Bloomquist who noted that he will be back to
try for a three-peat in 2011.
Chris Wall of
Springfield, LA also had a big night during the awards ceremony. The
42-year old driver was named as the winner of the ApplianceZone Driver
Development program. Wall will receive a $70,000 sponsorship from

standings also received 10 sheets of aluminum courtesy of Wrisco

CORONA, CA (November
23, 2010) - The ASI Racewear USA 100 from Bill Sawyer's Virginia Motor
Speedway in Saluda, Virginia is scheduled to re-air today, Nov. 23, at
6PM (EST), during the Lucas Oil Motorsports Hour on VERSUS.
Live-to-tape footage shows
Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA completing the weekend sweep in
the Commonwealth State of Virginia, as he captured the $15,000 to win
ASI Racewear 31st Annual "USA 100" on September 18th at
Virginia Motor Speedway. Davenport's win marked his second Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series victory in two consecutive nights. Fans from
across the nation watched Davenport win the night before as he also
captured the win at Winchester Speedway. Trailing Davenport to the
finish line was current series point's leader, Scott Bloomquist of
Mooresburg, TN and 4-time series champion, Earl Pearson Jr. of
Jacksonville, FL. Completing the top five were Steve Shaver, of Vienna,
WV and Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA.
Davenport started
quickly and took the lead at the start of the 50-lap finale. Davenport
was patient through the race's caution periods that made the event
exciting. He had to hold off both Bloomquist and Pearson at various
times during the race, but in the end he had the best car all race long
as he pulled away in the final laps to score his second career Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series triumph.
A spirited battle
ensued between Bloomquist and Pearson for the entire distance, as the
two previous Lucas Oil National Champs, went head-to-head for the win.
Bloomquist was able to challenge Davenport early on as Pearson put the
heat on Davenport during the mid-portion of the race.

family raced. As the brothers grew up together at the races and battled
for wins, sometimes crashing each other, it would be Mrs. Pearson that
would have to keep peace among the brothers some times. After being
diagnosed with Alzheimer's six years ago Mrs. Pearson hasn't been able
to attend any racing but continued to be Earl's biggest fan from their
home in Jacksonville. Mrs. Pearson also coached girls youth softball
teams for ten years and was an avid member of the local PTA for the kids
and grandchildren schools and contributed to numerous school activities
in Jacksonville.
The funeral
arrangements have been set for Monday November 1st for the
viewing from 6-8pm at the Riverside Memorial Park Town and Country
Funeral Home in Jacksonville, Florida and the funeral graveside at the
same location on Tuesday at 10am. The family is accepting flowers but
has also mentioned that if anyone would like to make a donation in lieu
of flowers that donations be made to 'Community Hospice" of Jacksonville
in the name of Gloria Gray Pearson by calling (904) 407-7300.

of the way for the win. Chris Madden of Gaffney, SC finished second
followed by Steve Francis of Ashland, KY; Brady Smith of Solon Springs,
WI; and O'Neal.
"I went with a
little softer left rear tire than anybody else, O'Neal was strong early
on, but once we were able to get some heat in the tire we were able to
catch him and get by him," said Clanton. "I have to give a big thanks to
Marshall Green for this win; he came over before the feature and changed
some things on the car. He has a lot of laps here, and the changes he
made are why we are here in victory lane. I want to thank Rocket
Chassis, Brad Malcuit at Malcuit Race Engines, RSD Enterprises, SAE
Parts, VP, and Allstar Performance for their support. It's good to get a
win here in front of the homestate crowd."
O'Neal and Francis
started on the front row of the 50-lap main event. O'Neal quickly jumped
to the lead. O'Neal put on a dominating performance in the early stages
of the race. He held a six-car length advantage over Clanton, who
started fourth. Clanton slowly reeled in O'Neal as the leader slipped
out of the racing groove with 20 laps complete.
Clanton and O'Neal
came across the scoring line dead-even at the halfway mark. Clanton
charged ahead a lap later as O'Neal fell to second. O'Neal then gave up
the second position to Madden on lap 34.
Clanton had to
withstand two cautions in the final 14 circuits to secure the win. He
became the 13th different winner of the season on the Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series tour. Madden came home in second. He drives
the Hamrick's of Gaffney, Cornett Racing Engines, Bloomquist Race Cars

Scott Bloomquist Wins Fifth Dixie
Shootout and Clinches 2010 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Title
|
|
WOODSTOCK, GA
(October 9,2010) - Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN clinched his
second consecutive Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Title by
winning his fifth Lucas Oil "Dixie Shootout" on Saturday Night at Dixie
Speedway. The 46-year-old Hall of Famer also collected the 501st
win of his career and his eighth national driving championship.
Bloomquist led the final 41 laps to take the $10,000 first place prize
ahead of a late-race charge from Shane Clanton of Fayetteville, GA;
Chris Madden of Gaffney, SC; 16th starting Shannon Babb of
Moweaqua, IL; and Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN, who finished fifth, after
John Blankenship weighed-in light at the scales.
"This is what we
worked for all year long, to win this Lucas Oil Championship again,"
said Bloomquist, who recorded his season-leading ninth win. "I have to
thank my crew and my sponsors for their help all year. My family has
been great through all of this, and the championships and such are
something to look back on someday when you're retired. I have to thank
Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye Trucking, VP Fuels, Hoosier Tires,
and Allstar Performance and of course. I'd also like to thank
Roush-Yates Engines, the motor was super once again," said the winner
who pilots his own Bloomquist Race Cars Chevrolet.
"Earl fired off real
good at the start, I am not sure what tires he had on, but he was
running up in the rough and I knew if he kept doing that the tires
couldn't take the punishment and he eventually had the flat. We tried to
be smooth from then on after what happened to Pearson, I tried to stay
lower than the cushion and it worked out good, I didn't know how much of
a lead I had, but we're glad to wrap up the title with this win. Now we
can relax heading to Rome, knowing it's sewed up," said Bloomquist who
captured his all-time series leading 26th win.
Bloomquist and
4-time series champion, Earl Pearson Jr. started on the front row of the
event held before one of the largest crowds since the 1990's for the
Shootout. Pearson bolted to the lead and led the first eight circuits
until he developed a right rear flat tire under caution. Pearson pitted
for a new tire, but he was relegated to the rear of the field for the
restart.
Bloomquist inherited
the lead after Pearson's misfortune as he led Clanton, Madden, Don
O'Neal and Randy Weaver to the green flag. O'Neal, who was solid early
on in the race, started to fade with right front suspension problems on
his car as he yielded to Weaver and Steve Francis in the running order.
Bloomquist had a
six-car length lead over Clanton as the final caution flew on lap 36
when Steve Casebolt contacted the front stretch wall. On the restart
Clanton was not about to give up the chase for his first career Shootout
victory. Clanton made one-last lap ditch effort as he closed to a car
length and a half on Bloomquist, but Bloomquist held him off.
Clanton, in the
Ronnie Dobbins, RSD Enterprises Rocket Chassis was second; followed by
Madden in the Xtreme Custom and Cycles, Cornett Racing Engines,
Bloomquist Race Cars entry. Babb, a three-time Shootout winner, finished
fourth in his Petroff Towing, Pro Power Racing Engines, Rocket Chassis;
with Owens coming from 23rd to finish fifth in the Reece
Monument Company, Cornett Racing Engines, Bloomquist Race Cars Ford.
Completing the top
ten were Steve Francis of Ashland, KY; Brady Smith of Solon Springs, WI;
Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; Chris Wall of Holden, LA; and David
Payne of Murphy, NC.
In preliminary
action, Scott Bloomquist was the overall Red Buck Cigar Fast Time Award
winner with a lap of 14.136 seconds among the 57 cars entered. Heat
race winners were Bloomquist, Clanton, O'Neal, Pearson, Dale McDowell,

Wall and Owens Lead in Appliancezone Points Standings
Heading to Final Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Events
CORONA, CA (September 28, 2010) -The Appliance Zone sponsorship competition has
been a great success in 2010 and is heading into the final two events of the
year in the state of Georgia on October 9th and 10th. The final two events at
Dixie Speedway and Rome Speedway will be instrumental in deciding which driver
will receive the $70,000 sponsorship from Appliance Zone for the 2011-racing
season.
Chris Wall and Jimmy Owens continue to lead the two point's categories under the
Appliance Zone sponsorship contest with Wall leading the fan voting portion and
Owens leading the on-track point's category among the five drivers. Appliance
Zone reps have set up a booth at several Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events
and during the World 100 at Eldora Speedway in 2010 for fans to vote for their
favorite driver during the season. Fans can also go online and vote for the
driver he or she think deserves the 2011 sponsorship. Simply visit either
www.appliancezoneracing.com or www.lucasdirt.com and click on the banner that is
linked to the fan-voting page.
The five LOLMDS drivers that were selected by Appliancezone.com are competing
for the $70,000 primary sponsorship for the 2011-racing season. Jimmy Owens, Ray
Cook, Don O'Neal, Chris Wall, and Steve Casebolt all are trying to win this
unique contest. The criteria for winning the sponsorship are divided into three
categories: on-track performance (points earned), fan voting at
www.appliancezoneracing.com, and by a special panel vote from members of the
media, Lucas Oil Products, Appliance Zone, and NASCAR drivers Clint Boyer and
Bobby Labonte.
For fans wanting to vote for their favorite driver, voting will continue until
midnight October 10th. After fan voting has been closed, the website will be cut
off and all fan votes will be totaled to determine which driver won the fan
voting. After the final event at Rome Speedway on October 10th, the on-track
points will be totaled up among the five drivers to determine which driver won
that point's category as well. From that point, the special panel will determine

Bloomquist Takes 500th Career Victory at
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Jackson 100
|
|
BROWNSTOWN, IN
(September 25, 2010) - Hall-of-Fame driver, Scott Bloomquist of
Mooresburg, TN won the 500th feature event of his illustrious
career on Saturday Night in capturing the 31st Annual Jackson
100 at Brownstown (IN) Speedway. Bloomquist earned $20,000 for his
third win in the annual event, which was sanctioned by the Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series. Bloomquist took the lead on lap four after
starting third. Seeking to become the first four-time winner of the
race, Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN finished second just ahead of Jimmy
Owens of Newport, TN. Completing the top five were Matt Miller of
Waterville, OH and Chris Wall of Springfield, LA.
"I have to thank so
many people for getting to 500 wins, I wish Bob and Barb Miller were
here to see this, they have been such an important part of my career. My
wife, daughter, and my mom are here so I am glad they got to see this,"
said the 46-year-old driver. "To win number 500 here at Brownstown is
special, it has been one of my favorite tracks to run on in my career,
somebody said we got our 200th win here in 1991. The first
time I came here I don't think I even made the race, the locals were so
tough here to beat and with all the traveling guys racing it was quite a
chore just to get into the field."
Bloomquist, who
started in third in the 100-lap affair, took the lead on lap four from
O'Neal. Owens took over the second spot on lap six and challenged
Bloomquist for the lead up until lap eleven when O'Neal passed him.
O'Neal then picked the pace as the top three put on quite a show for the
race lead.
Bloomquist entered
heavy traffic by lap 26 until a caution on lap 40 left Bloomquist with a
clear track in front of him. On the restart Bloomquist pulled away from
O'Neal and Owens as he set sail. Bloomquist saw a 12-car length lead
shrink down to one length with 25 laps to go as he was having trouble
negotiating lapped traffic.
Bloomquist worked
his way through more lapped cars, and put plenty of distance between
himself and O'Neal when the checkers flew. With the win, Bloomquist
stretched his lead in Lucas Oil Championship Points Standings to 260
points over Owens. Bloomquist was in his own self-designed chassis and
is sponsored by Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye Trucking, and
Sweet Mfg. A Roush-Yates Racing Engine powers his car.
O'Neal was 2nd
in the Independence Lumber, Roush-Yates, MasterSbilt Chevrolet; followed
closely at the stripe by Owens in the Reece Monument Company, Gantte
Appraisals, Bloomquist Race Cars Ford.
Miller, the 2007
winner of the Jackson 100 came home fourth just in front of Wall, who
maintains his Quarter Master "Rookie of the Year" points lead with an
impressive fifth place run.
Completing the top
ten were; Bart Hartman of Zanesville, OH; Jeep VanWormer of Pinconning,
MI; Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL; Dan Schlieper of Sullivan, WI;
and 14-year-old Tyler Reddick of Corning, CA.
In preliminary
action on Saturday Night, Heat Race winners were Don O'Neal, Scott
Bloomquist, Chris Wall, and Jimmy Owens. Zack Dohm and Donnie Moran
took the B-Mains.
Series Announcer,
James Essex, of Hope, IN was inducted into the Brownstown Speedway Hall
of Fame during the intermission prior to the 100-lap main event. Essex
began announcing for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in its first
year, and has become the famous "Voice of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series". He began his career when he was 14 years old at Brownstown
Speedway, and announced there for the next 21 years before taking to the
highways and announcing on the national dirt late model touring
circuits.
The Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series will conclude it's 2010 racing season with two events
in the State of Georgia. On Saturday Night, October 9th the
Lucas Oil "Dixie Shootout" at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA awaits the
stars of the LOLMDS. The Lucas Oil Shootout will be shot in front of
the cameras of SPEED for broadcast at a later date. It all comes down to

Davenport Sweeps
State of Virginia with Win in USA 100 at Virginia Motor Speedway
|
|
SALUDA, VA (September 18, 2010) -
Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA completed the weekend sweep in the
Commonwealth State of Virginia as he captured the $15,000 to win ASI
Racewear 31st Annual "USA 100" on Saturday Night at Virginia
Motor Speedway. Davenport's win marked his second Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series victory in two nights. Friday Night he captured the win at
Winchester Speedway. Trailing Davenport to the finish line were current
series point's leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN and 4-time
series champion, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL. Completing the
top five were Steve Shaver of Vienna, WV and Dale McDowell of
Chickamauga, GA.
"To win one Lucas Oil event this weekend
was special, but to back it up here tonight with a win against this type
of competition is just fantastic," said the 26-year-old racer. "The car
was fast all night, we came out and broke the track record, won our heat
and I tried a couple of different lines out there in the feature, the
car was just a dream to drive, to beat drivers like Bloomquist, Pearson,
Owens and so on is just terrific, they are all great drivers and to race
against them it is an honor."
"I have to thank Barry and Lance Wright
for giving me the opportunity to drive their equipment, thanks to all my
sponsors for making this possible, Nichols Plumbing, Dirtwrap, Baird
Transport, Elite Concrete, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas and all my
product sponsors, we are really on a roll right now and we hope to
continue to finish the season strong," said Davenport who earned $25,000
for his two victories.
Davenport started quickly and took the
lead at the start of the 50-lap finale. Davenport had to be patient
through the caution periods that dotted the event. He had to hold off
both Bloomquist and Pearson at various times during the race, but in the
end he had the best car all race long as he pulled away in the final ten
laps to score his second career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
triumph.
A spirited battle the entire distance
between Bloomquist and Pearson saw the two previous LOLMDS National
Champs go toe-to-toe for second. Bloomquist was able to challenge
Davenport early on as Pearson put the heat on Davenport during the
mid-portion of the race.
Bloomquist, who is seeking to win his 500th
career race, beat Pearson into turn number one after a lap 37 restart.
Bloomquist was able to fight off everything that Pearson threw at him in
the final 13 circuits to finish second in his Miler Brothers
Construction, Roush-Yates Racing Engines, Bloomquist Race Cars
Chevrolet. Pearson was a close third in the Bobby Labonte Racing, Lucas
Oil Products, Longhorn Chassis Dodge Charger.
Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens of
Newport, TN; D.J. Myers of Greencastle, PA; Eric Wells of Hazard, KY;
Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; and John Blankenship of Williamson, WV.
In preliminary action Davenport set a new
track record of 16.731 seconds among the 42 entrants. The previous
track record was held by Shane Clanton at 17.097 which was set in April
of 2007. The 25-lap preliminary heat race winners were Scott Bloomquist
and Jonathan Davenport. The B-Mains went to Jamie Lathroum and Booper
Bare.
The next Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
event will be on Friday and Saturday, September 24th and 25th
at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, IN. The 31st Annual
"Jackson 100" will be contested with $20,000 on the line. The track's

Davenport Wins Classic Battle at
Winchester in the Gunter's Honey 50
WINCHESTER, VA (September 17, 2010) - In one of the best dirt Late Model races
of 2010, Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA won his first career Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series event on Friday Night at Winchester Speedway. The
26-year-old driver pulled away from a great battle for the lead in winning the
"Gunter's Honey 50" worth $10,000. Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL finished
second, followed by Josh Richards of Shinnston, WV; Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN;
and 23rd starting, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN.
"I'm at a loss for words to describe this win; it's my first Lucas Oil Series
win, Barry Wright's first Lucas Oil victory. I hope it doesn't take as long to
get the second one," said Davenport, who became the 12th different winner on the
series tour in 2010. "The track was excellent tonight, it was my first time here
and obviously I really took a liking to the track. You could run anywhere out
there, Jimmy (Owens) and I; Richards and Earl, we put on quite a show, I hope
the fans enjoyed that one."
"I have to thank Barry Wright, his son Lance, and the entire crew, we ran well
at the Hillbilly Hundred a few weeks ago, we had some back luck at Eldora last
week, but tonight the car was awesome. I have to than my sponsors Clements
Racing Engines, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, Baird Transport, Elite Concrete
and everybody else that helps out. This is a great win for the team," said the
victor afterwards.
Owens quickly grabbed the lead at the start of the race after passing front row
starters Davenport and Pearson. Owens held a narrow lead as a terrific battle
for second was going on between Davenport and Pearson, who swapped the second
spot back-and-forth for several circuits.
The race was slowed by several cautions as the battle for the lead was one of
the best of the year. Owens pulled away from the three cars that were
challenging him in. Davenport, Pearson and Richards battled it out, jockeying
for position. Davenport finally overhauled Owens for the lead on lap 37.
Davenport pulled away in the final laps to win his first series event. Pearson
outran Owens in the final six laps to take second as Richards squeezed by Owens
to finish third. Owens then had to withstand a late-race charge from Bloomquist
to take fourth.
Bloomquist, who flipped his primary car in his heat race, went to a back-up car
for the main event and came up through the field to salvage a solid point's
night. Bloomquist now leads Owens by 190-points in the chase for the 2010 Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series Championship.
Completing the top ten were Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN; Austin Hubbard of
Laurel, DE; John Blankenship of Williamson, WV; Booper Bare of Rockbridge Baths,
VA; and Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC.
In preliminary action, Ronnie DeHaven Jr. was the Red Buck Cigar Time Trials
fast timer with a record setting lap of 14.322 seconds among the 44 entrants.
There were 20 drivers that eclipsed the previous track record at Winchester set
earlier this year by D.J. Myers at 14.910 seconds. Heat race winners were
Jonathan Davenport, Jimmy Owens, Earl Pearson Jr. and J.T. Spence. The B-Mains
were taken by Dan Stone and Jason Covert.
The next Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event will be on Saturday Night,
September 18th at Bill Sawyer's Virginia Motor Speedway in Saluda, VA. On the
docket will be the 31st Annual ASi Racewear sponsored "USA 100" paying $15,000
to win. There will be 2-25 lap preliminary races, followed by a B-Main and the

***Bluegrass Altercation Bulletin***
CORONA, CA (September 14, 2010) - Officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model Series
have placed drivers Dan Schlieper and Jeff Watson on probation for the next five
races that each driver attends, starting September 17, 2010. The probation is in
response to an altercation, which occurred at Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown,
Kentucky. The drivers were involved in an on-track incident in which Schlieper's
car was severely damaged. After the race was completed, a fight broke out
involving both drivers and members of their respective crews, as well as other
individuals, apparently not associated with either team.
Lucas Oil Late Model Series Director Ritchie Lewis said: "Just as with some
on-track incidents, it is difficult to determine whether the incident was an
accident or purposeful, it was equally difficult to determine which team or both
had been the aggressor in this incident." Both drivers and their crews will
answer for this incident, in addition to any other, should they violate the
terms of their probation. To successfully complete the five-race probation, each
driver and his crew must not be involved in any purposeful on-track or any
off-track aggressive behavior.
Series Director Lewis continued: "The Lucas Oil Late Model Series strives to
bring the fans the best drivers and the most exciting racing. Unsportsmanlike
conduct by drivers or their crews will not be tolerated as it detracts from the
quality of our product and unfairly reflects on the rest of our teams who
conduct themselves in a professional manner both on and off the track."

Scott Bloomquist Wins First Career Hillbilly Hundred at
West Virginia Motor Speedway
MINERAL WELLS, WV (September 5, 2010) - Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN won
his first career Hillbilly Hundred on Sunday Night at West Virginia Motor
Speedway. The defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion
collected $42,000 for his win, which came before one of the largest crowds in
the track's history. Bloomquist took the lead from Don O'Neal of Martinsville,
IN on lap 82 and raced unchallenged the rest of the way. Jonathan Davenport of
Blairsville, GA finished second, followed by Steve Shaver of Vienna, WV. O'Neal
and Eddie Carrier Jr. of Salt Rock, WV completed the top five.
In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the seventh time this season, the 46-year-old Hall
of Famer celebrated with his crew as he graciously accepted the winner's check
from promoter Carl Short. "A hundred laps here are kind of tough on equipment, I
can't say enough about the Hoosier Tires, they held up real well tonight. We
were a little cautious through traffic, and O'Neal was running hard on the
cushion and I saw that and backed off a little bit and then his tires went away
and we were able to get by him for the win," said Bloomquist, who maintained his
series points lead with his victory.
"I have to thank Bob and Barb Miller of Miller Brothers Construction and Hawkeye
Trucking, Roush-Yates Racing Engine and VP Fuels. I am proud to win this race
for myself and my crew and I especially want to thank the fans for coming out
here tonight, its fun to race in front of so many people and we look forward to
coming back here."
Bloomquist started on the outside of the front row and jumped to the lead at the
start of the race. Dale McDowell, who had won two of the previous three LOLMDS
events ran a solid second to Bloomquist for the first 14 laps, until O'Neal was
able to get around him for second.
Bloomquist held his lead through heavy traffic as O'Neal pressured him for the
top spot. O'Neal was finally able to make the pass for the lead on lap 29.
O'Neal held the lead through several caution flag periods as Bloomquist
maintained the second spot. At the halfway mark it was O'Neal, Bloomquist,
Shaver, Bart Hartman, and Davenport running in the top five.
O'Neal continued to stay out front until Bloomquist raced past him after a
restart on lap 82. O'Neal's tires went away as he slowed in turn four to bring
out the final caution of the race. On the restart it was all Bloomquist until
the checkered flag fell as no one was able to muster a late-race challenge.
Completing the top ten were Zack Dohm of Cross Lanes, WV; Jimmy Owens of
Newport, TN; John Blankenship of Williamson, WV; Kennie Compton of Bland, VA;
and Tim Isenberg of Marshfield, WI.
In preliminary action Steve Shaver topped the 49 entrants in Red Buck Cigar Time
Trials. Heat race winners were Dale McDowell, Bart Hartman, Scott Bloomquist and
Don O'Neal. The B-Mains went to Freddy Smith and Brad Neat.
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Late Model Dirt Series will take next weekend off
and resume its' 2010 racing schedule on Friday Night, September 17th at Greg
Gunter's Winchester Speedway in Winchester, VA for a $10,000 to win event. On
Saturday Night, September 18th the series will visit Bill Sawyer's Virginia
Motor Speedway in Saluda, VA for the $15,000 to win "USA 100".

$20,000 victory in the Pepsi 75 River Days Rumble on Saturday Night at
Portsmouth Raceway Park. McDowell inherited the lead when Eric Wells
shredded a right rear tire with seven laps to go. McDowell led the
remaining laps in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event
in front of a mammoth crowd. Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY finished
second, followed by 18th starting Eddie Carrier Jr. of Salt
Rock, WV. Rounding out the top five were R.J. Conley of Wheelersburg,
OH and Chris Wall of Springfield, LA.
"I want to
thank the fans for coming out tonight, they saw a very entertaining
race," said the 44-year-old veteran driver. "It was a tough break for
Wells and we were just in the right place at the right time. I have to
thank Clint Bowyer, the crew and all of my sponsors on the car. A
special thanks goes to Cheerios, Dollar General, Chevrolet, Sunoco Race
Fuels, Warrior Race Cars and Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines."
Tyler
Reddick, the 14-year-old sensation from Corning, CA, took the lead at
the start of the race and led the first ten circuits. McDowell got
around Reddick for the lead on lap eleven. McDowell then pulled away
from the field as Josh McGuire, who started 17th, came
through the pack to take over second on lap 19.
McGuire
challenged McDowell for several laps in an exciting battle for the lead
until McGuire got sideways in turn two on lap 36, ending up in the
wall. With McGuire out of the race, Quarter Master Rookie of the Year
candidate, Eric Wells, surged by Neat and closed quickly on the leader.
Wells caught
and passed McDowell on lap 42 to take the lead. He broke away from
McDowell, despite racing with a broken shock mount. Wells built a
substantial lead over the pack by lap 60. As the duo of McDowell and
Neat rebounded, they started to reel in the leader with ten laps to go.
On lap 68, Wells' right rear tire blew, ending the young rookie's hopes
for the richest payday of his career.
With
McDowell out in front for the second time of the race, he managed to
hold off Neat and Carrier for the win. It was McDowell's second LOLMDS
win in the last three events. The win also marked his fifth career
series victory.
Completing
the top ten were Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN;
John Blankenship of Williamson, WV; Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville,
FL; and Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN.
Series
point's leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN broke a left front
spindle on lap three while running in fourth. His crew made repairs and
Bloomquist returned on lap 36. He finished 17th in the final
rundown.
The series
will be back in action on Sunday, September 5th at West
Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, WV with the 42nd
Annual "Hillbilly Hundred". The event is America's oldest major late
model event and pays $42,000 to win. For further details log onto

O'Neal Seals the Deal in Winning Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series Event at Bluegrass Speedway
|
|
BARDSTOWN,
KY (August 28, 2010- Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN won his second Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series event of the season on Saturday Night at
Bluegrass Speedway. The win was also his second career "Bluegrass
Classic." O'Neal led all 50 laps to finally make it to victory lane
after he had led in five of the previous seven events he has entered.
Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN chased O'Neal for most of the race to finish
second, followed by 11th starting, Brian Birkhofer of
Muscatine, IA; Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; and Brady Smith of
Solon Springs, WI.
"It's about
time we got back to victory lane," said O'Neal, who earned $10,000 for
the win. "We have always run well here, and tonight this was a new car
we brought out. I can't thank Tader Masters enough for his support, we
have run really well over the last month and had nothing to show for it,
so I'll savor this win for a while," said O'Neal, who claimed his 14th
career Lucas Oil Series win.
"I want to
thank my sponsors, Independence Lumber, Superior Cleaning, Scott
Clippinger, Sunoco Race Fuels, Jay Dickens at Roush-Yates Engines and of
course, MasterSbilt Race Cars. The car drove great all night. I could
hear Marlar a few times and saw his number on the scoreboard and I knew
he would give us a good clean race."
O'Neal, who
started on the pole, was a rocketship all night long as he got the
advantage over Bloomquist heading into turn one on the opening circuit.
Marlar was able to get by Bloomquist on lap six. He challenged O'Neal
several times; just as began to catch the tail-end of the field, the
caution flag came out.
O'Neal held
a two to three car length lead in the final ten laps as he outran Marlar
to the checkers, scoring his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win
since February at East Bay Raceway Park. Marlar in the Wells Racing,
Rocket Chassis was able to hold off Birkhofer in the Hilton Head
National, MB Customs entry for the runner-up spot.
Completing
the top ten were Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY;
Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN; and Earl
Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL.
In
preliminary action O'Neal was the Red Buck Cigars Fast Qualifier with a
lap of 14.772 seconds, narrowly missing his current track record by a
mere two-tenths of a second. There were 34 entrants on hand for the
event. Heat race winners were O'Neal, Mike Marlar, Scott Bloomquist,
and Brady Smith. The B-Mains were won by Scott James and Shane Clanton.
The Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be back in action this upcoming Labor
Day Weekend with two events. On Friday and Saturday, September 3rd
and 4th the series heads to Portsmouth Raceway Park in
Portsmouth, OH for the Pepsi 75 River Days Rumble. On Friday Night there
will be Red Buck Cigar Time Trials and Heat Races. Saturday will see
the B-Mains along with the $20,000 to win main event. On Sunday,
September 5th the LOLMDS will be at West Virginia Motor
Speedway in Mineral Wells, WV for the 42nd Annual Hillbilly
Hundred paying $42,000 to win.

McDowell Takes First Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win of the
Season at Lawrenceburg
|
|
LAWRENCEBURG, IN
(August 27, 2010) - Leading all 50-laps, Dale McDowell of Chickamauga,
GA held off a furious late-race-charge to take home the win in front of
an enormous crowd at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Brian Birkhofer of
Muscatine, IA and Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN closed to within striking
distance of McDowell, but could not overtake the leader. The win was
worth $10,000 for McDowell in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
sanctioned event. It was McDowell's first series win of the 2010 LOLMDS
season. Trailing the trio to the finish line were Earl Pearson Jr. of
Jacksonville, FL and Quarter Master Rookie of the Year Candidate, Eric
Wells of Hazard, KY.
"Man it feels good
to finally make it to victory lane this year," said the 44-year-old
veteran, who drives for NASCAR's Clint Bowyer. "Caleb [Baker] and Tommy
[Grecco] have worked their tails off this year and they deserve much of
the credit for this win. We started off good tonight by setting fast
time, winning our heat and starting on the pole," said McDowell. "I
have to thank Dollar General, Cheerios, General Mills, and Bugles. I
also have to give a lot of credit to ECR Racing Engines and Warrior Race
Cars; this is their second Lucas Oil win in a row."
McDowell bolted to
the lead at the start of the feature. He and Don O'Neal ran one-two for
the first 33 laps of the race, until O'Neal brushed the wall in turn
four, causing the #71 MasterSbilt house-car to lose several spots in the
running order. The winner of last year's event at Lawrenceburg, Brian
Birkhofer, started tenth and was up to second after O'Neal's brush with
the wall.
Owens made
tremendous headway through the pack and joined the leaders as the 13th
place starter battled with 4-time series champion, Earl Pearson Jr.
Owens cleared Pearson for third with 11 laps to go. He then set his
sights on the duo of McDowell and Birkhofer. The three frontrunners
made the crowd rise to their feet as they battled around the 3/8ths mile
oval. McDowell took the win by two car lengths over Birkhofer.
"I was racing hard
there with Jimmy at the end," said Birkhofer, who drives the J&J Steel,
MB Customs sponsored machine. "I pulled alongside of Dale, but I just
couldn't get enough momentum on the bottom to pass him. That was a very
good race and I hope the fans enjoyed that." Owens, in the Mike Reece,
Reece Monument Company, Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion came home third
and cut the Lucas Oil Championship Point's Lead of Scott Bloomquist down
to only 140 points.
Completing the top
ten were Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN; Shane Clanton of Fayetteville,
GA; Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; and
Tim Isenberg of Marshfield, WI.
In preliminary
action, McDowell was the Red Buck Cigars Fast Qualifier with a lap of
14.826 seconds among the 39 entrants on hand. Heat race winners were
McDowell, Tyler Reddick, Tim Isenberg, and Don O'Neal. The B-Mains were
taken by Brad Neat and Chris Wall.
The Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series returns to Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown, KY for the
10th Annual Bluegrass Classic tomorrow night, August 28th.

Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Set for Visits to Indiana
and Kentucky this Weekend
CORONA, CA (August 24, 2010) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is coming
off of back-to-back spectacular race finishes over the last two weeks and
returns to action this weekend with a pair of visits to Indiana and Kentucky.
The series takes a trip to Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, IN on Friday
Night, August 27th; followed on Saturday Night, August 28th to Bluegrass
Speedway in Bardstown, KY.
The appearance on Friday Night at Lawrenceburg will mark the track's only Late
Model show of 2010. Last year, the series made it's first ever trip to the
beautiful Dearborn County (IN) Fairgrounds facility. The Dave Rudisell-promoted
track hosted a healthy crowd a year ago, with Iowa's Brian Birkhofer coming home
with the victory. On Saturday, the 10th Annual "Bluegrass Classic" title is up
for grabs at Bluegrass Speedway. A year ago, Ray Cook took home the win over
Chris Wall at the David and Anita Ferrell-promoted track in front of a packed
house.
There will be a complete show both nights with Red Buck Cigar Time Trials, Heat
Races. B-Mains, and the $10,000 to win/$700 to start main events.

Landers Lands First Career Late Model Win at 18th Annual
COMP Cams Topless 100
LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 22, 2010) - Jared Landers of Batesville, AR scored the
first Late Model victory of his career on Sunday Afternoon as he captured the
$40,000 to win 18th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 at Batesville Motor Speedway.
Landers, a veteran open wheel modified driver, took the lead from Earl Pearson
Jr. of Jacksonville, FL with three laps to go in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series sanctioned event. Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN edged out Pearson at the
finish line for second, followed by Pearson, Terry Phillips of Springfield, MO
and Brady Smith of Solon Springs, WI.
"I don't know what to say," said the 29-year-old driver in victory lane, "This
is my first Late Model win, to do it here on my home- track and in front of my
fans; it's something I'll always remember," said Landers. "I have to thank Shane
McDowell and all of my crew; they did a great job all day long; thanks to Boater
Sports, Mark Martin KIA, and Mark Martin Chevrolet for all of their help along
with Warrior Race Cars and Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines ... this is
unbelievable."
The afternoon heat and the baked track surface forced every team that finished
the race to pit at least once for fresh rubber. Don O'Neal led the first 43 laps
of the race until yielding to polesitter, Chris Madden. Madden then held the top
spot until ninth-starting Scott Bloomquist took over the lead on lap 46.
Bloomquist and Madden then ran one-two through several caution flags. Madden
re-gained the point from Bloomquist on lap 57, but Bloomquist came back five
laps later to re-take the lead. Bloomquist held the top spot until a lap
84-restart when Landers slipped under him on the backstretch to take over the
lead, much to delight of the crowd.
Bloomquist began to fade as he slowed on lap 87 to bring out a caution. He
darted into the pits to change tires. Bloomquist had been the only car on the
track that had not pitted. On the restart, Landers was challenged by both
Pearson and Owens. Pearson slipped by Landers on lap 95 for the lead, but
Landers came back with authority to take over the top spot for the final three
circuits. Landers went on to hold off both Pearson and Owens as the three almost
came across the finish side-by-side.
Owens, in the Reece Monument Company, Mark Martin Ford sponsored Bloomquist Race
Cars entry nipped Pearson at the line for second, but said afterwards he should
have pitted a little earlier. "We came in the pits a little sooner than I
anticipated," said Owens.
Completing the top ten were Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA; Dan Schlieper
of Sullivan, WI; Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; Eric Wells of Hazard, KY; and
Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN.
Next weekend the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be back in action on
Friday Night, August 27th at Lawrenceburg (N) Speedway and on Saturday Night,

Rain Postpones 18th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 to Sunday
Afternoon
LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 21, 2010) - The 18th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100
featuring the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be held on Sunday afternoon
at Batesville Motor Speedway after rain washed out the $40,000 to win main event
on Saturday Night. Track crews tried valiantly to run in the 3/8ths mile track
after rain hit the area just as the cars that had qualified for the main event
were taking the track for their hot lap sessions. The track was almost in racing
condition when another cloudburst forced officials to postpone the finale to
Sunday.
Before the rain hit, there were two B-Mains as Ray Moore of Shreveport, LA and
Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA advanced from the first 20-lap consolation
race. Four-time COMP Cams Topless 100 winner, Billy Moyer of Batesville, AR won
the second B-Main. Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN took the final transfer spot.
The gates will open at 12 Noon on Sunday August 22nd, by the 18th Annual COMP
Cams Topless 100. For more information, visit www.batesvillemotorspeedway.net.

Owens Passes Pearson to Win Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 at
Florence Speedway
|
|
UNION, KY (August
14, 2010) - Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN passed race leader, Earl Pearson
Jr. of Jacksonville, FL as the pair headed for the white flag. Owens
held off Pearson on the final circuit to win the 28th Annual
Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil on Saturday
Night at Florence Speedway. The $50,000 victory was celebrated by
Owens; car owner, Mike Reece; and team in victory lane before a huge
crowd. Trailing Owens and Pearson to the finish line were Don O'Neal of
Martinsville, IN; Steve Francis of Ashland, KY; and Ray Cook of
Brasstown, NC.
"First off, I want
to dedicate this win to Dewayne Hommell," said Owens, who captured his
second Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil victory
in the last four years. "I didn't know if I could catch Earl, he got
boxed in behind another car and I decided to run up against the wall,
and the car just took off and we were able to track him down and pass
him as we took the white flag." The elated Owens continued, "I have to
thank my car owner, Mike Reece; he hadn't been at a race since we won at
Cleveland back in June. Thanks also to Reece Monument Company, Gantte
Appraisals, Hoosier Tires VP race Fuels, Cornett Racing Engines and
Bloomquist Race Cars."
Eddie Carrier Jr.
took the lead at the start of the 100-lap event and held the lead for
the first 18 circuits of the race. O'Neal took over the point on lap 19
from Carrier after the two made contact down the backstretch. O'Neal
built a solid lead over the field, and by lap 30 he had a ten car length
advantage over the field. Carrier and Francis managed to close on
O'Neal in heavy traffic and slice his lead to five lengths with 40 laps
complete.
Owens, who started
fifth, climbed into the top five on lap 41. He moved into third by the
halfway-mark of the race, catching up to behind O'Neal and Carrier. "The
Newport Nightmare" overhauled Carrier for second with 55 laps scored.
O'Neal kept a steady pace out front, but Owens and Pearson started to
make some noise with 25 laps remaining. Pearson climbed to third on lap
73.
O'Neal saw his lead
dissolve on lap 78 as Owens passed him for the top spot. Pearson
followed suit, and drove around O'Neal with 16 laps to go. Pearson used
his patented bottom groove to take the lead from Owens on lap 88.
Pearson then pulled away from Owens and appeared to be on his way to the
victory. He got caught behind another car with less than five laps to go
and Owens capitalized and made a late-race charge.
While Pearson was
trapped down on the bottom of the track, Owens went to the topside and
closed quickly on the leader. Owens made his move as the two exited turn
four, heading to the white flag. Owens cleared "The Hurricane" to click
off the lead as the two approached the flag stand. He withstood a strong
surge of power from the machine of Pearson, extinguishing his last lap
effort to take the victory. Pearson's second place finish earned him the
PBM/Erson Cams Hard Charger honor for the event, having advanced 12
spots from his 14th place starting position.
Completing the top
ten were Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; Jimmy Mars of Menomonie,
WI; Chris Madden of Gaffney, SC; Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; and
Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA.
Capturing heat race
wins earlier in the night were Chris Madden, Dan Schlieper, Jimmy Owens,
Eddie Carrier Jr., Don O'Neal, Steve Francis.
The B-Mains were won
by Wendell Wallace and Justin Rattilff.
The stars of the
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be back in action next weekend for
the 18th Annual COMP Cams "Topless 100" at Batesville Motor
Speedway in Batesville, AR. Events at the speedway will kick off on
Thursday Night, August 19th with an open practice session in

Schlieper Stars in First Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win in Two
Years at Hagerstown
|
|
HAGERSTOWN, MD (July
31, 2010) - Dan Schlieper of Sullivan, WI grabbed the lead on lap 16 and
never looked back as he went on to win his first Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series event since 2008 on Saturday Night at Hagerstown Speedway.
Schlieper earned $10,000 for an emotional win. He crossed the finish
line ahead of Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN; Dan Stone of Thompson, PA;
Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN, and John Blankenship of Williamson,
WV.
"It's been a long
dry spell," said the veteran driver in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "We've
had a tough year and it feels great to be back in victory lane, this
track [Hagerstown] has always been a thorn in our side, we put on four
new Hoosier tires for the feature after talking with Scott. I have to
thank Rockstar Energy Drink, DART, Pro Power Racing Engines and
Bloomquist Race Cars; and my crew chief, Jason Palubicki."
O'Neal took the lead
from his outside pole starting position and led the first 15 laps of the
race. Schlieper fell back to third early on behind Dan Stone.
Schlieper passed Stone after a restart on lap 15 and a lap later passed
O'Neal around the outside coming down the frontstretch to take over the
lead.
Schlieper then
waited through one more caution flag as he remained unchallenged over
the final 34 laps to take the win. His last Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series victory was July 3, 2008 at Muskingum County Speedway in
Zanesville, OH. Tonight's win for Schlieper was the fifth series
triumph of his career.
O'Neal in the
Independence Lumber, Roush-Yates Racing Engines, MasterSbilt Monte Carlo
SS came home in second. Stone had his best career series finish in his
NEP Wireless, Cornett Racing Engines, Rocket Chassis, placing third.
Points' leader Scott Bloomquist, in his Miller Brothers Construction,
Roush-Yates Racing Engines, Bloomquist Race Cars Chevrolet, was fourth.
Rounding out the top five was Blankenship in the Coal America's Energy,
Cornett Racing Engines, Rocket Chassis.
Completing the top
ten were Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL; Jason Covert of York
Haven, PA; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; Eric Wells of Hazard, KY; and Dale
McDowell of Chickamauga, GA.
In preliminary
action Don O'Neal was the Red Buck Cigars Fast Qualifier among the 39
entrants. Heat race winners were Dan Schlieper, Dan Stone, Don O'Neal
and Scott Bloomquist. The B-mains were taken by Tim Isenberg and Jimmy
Owens.
<CORRECTION> From
Thursday Night's event at Utica-Rome, Dale McDowell was the PBM/Erson
Cams Hard Charger of the Race. McDowell started 18th and
finished 3rd in the event, advancing 15 positions. It was
originally reported that Steve Casebolt was the hard charger of the
race.
The next Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series event will be 28th Annual Sunoco Race
Fuels North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil. The event will pay $50,000
to win and will be held on August 13th and 14th.
There will be a practice session on Thursday Afternoon, August 13th.

Bloomquist Takes Sixth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win at
Utica-Rome Speedway
|
|
VERNON,NY (July 29,
2010) - Defending series champion, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN
withstood a one-lap shootout with Ray cook of Brasstown, NC to win his
sixth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event of the season. The win took
place on Thursday Night at Utica-Rome Speedway. Bloomquist earned
$10,000 for the 492nd win of his illustrious career. Cook,
last year's series winner at the track, finished second after starting
in ninth. Eighteenth starting Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA finished
third, followed by Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL and John
Blankenship of Williamson, WV.
"Here tonight, the
car was about as perfect as it gets," exclaimed the 46-year-old driver,
"last year, after the American Racer tires beat us, Hoosier went to work
and had a great tire for us tonight. I wasn't really nervous on that
last restart, because I knew Ray would run me clean. It would have been
a shame to lose the race on the last lap after the night we had".
Bloomquist dominated
the field for a majority of the race. He already held nearly a
half-a-lap lead over Cook when the caution came out with seven laps to
go. Bloomquist then had to be patient through two more cautions in the
final two circuits, setting up a one-lap dash to the finish. As Cook
tried valiantly to steal the win from Bloomquist, he was able to outrun
the #53 into turn one on the final lap. He went on to score the win and
extend his series points lead over Jimmy Owens. The engine erupted in
flames after the fuel line came off on lap ten while Owens was running
second, ending his night.
"I have to thank Bob
and Barb Miller, Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye Trucking, of
course the Roush-Yates Engine ran superb, and all the crew, Tommy
(Hicks) and everybody else," said the winner. "They [crew] do a great
job, and with the tough competition on this series you have to be on top
of your game night in and night out to stay up front. We gained a lot of
points tonight on Jimmy and we look forward to coming back up here. This
is a very good race track and the fans treated us just super".
Cook in the D&R
Racing owned MasterSbilt captured the win at Utica-Rome a year ago, but
could not quite overcome his ninth starting spot as he crossed the line
behind Bloomquist. McDowell in the Clint Bowyer Racing, Dollar General
sponsored Warrior Impala SS salvaged a credible night after the battery
lost power in his car during the heat race. He was relegated to an
outside ninth-row starting spot and came home third followed by Pearson
in the Bobby Labonte Racing; Lucas Oil Products sponsored MasterSbilt
Dodge Charger. Blankenship, in the Don Blankenship, Coal America's
Energy Rocket was fifth.
Completing the top
ten were Billy Decker of Unadilla, NY; Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN;
Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN; Tyler Reddick of Corning, CA; and Tim
Isenberg of Marshfield, WI.
In preliminary
action, Bloomquist was the fastest qualifier among the 26 entrants in
the Red Buck Cigars Time Trials. Heat race winners were Bloomquist,
Pearson, and Blankenship. Dan Schlieper took the B-Main win.
The Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series will be back in action this Saturday Night, July 31st
at Frank Plessinger's Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, MD. The event
will pay $10,000 to win. For more information, go to

Owens Takes Seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Event of the
Season at Fonda
|
|
FONDA, NY (July 27,
2010) - Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN took the lead with ten laps to go and
then dominated the final laps to win the first ever LOLMDS sanctioned
event at Fonda Speedway. The win marked Owens' 20th victory
in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competition ever. Vic Coffey of
Caledonia, NY kept the home state fans on their feet by finishing
second. Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN, finished third followed by
series points' leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN and Billy
Decker of Unadilla, NY.
"Man I didn't know
at the start if we picked the right tires or not, we dropped back to
sixth after starting on the front row, but I have to thank Vic Coffey
for showing me that outside line," exclaimed Owens. "I was able to get
the momentum I needed up there and once we caught up to O'Neal and
passed him, the car was awesome," said the 38-year-old driver in Lucas
Oil Victory Lane for the 20th time in his career.
"I have to thank my
car owner, Mike Reece, Reece Monument Company, Gantte Appraisals and Red
Line Oil. I also want to thank Scott (Bloomquist) for building a great
race car, Cornett Engines and everybody on the crew," said Owens.
The event was the
first Late Model Race at Fonda Speedway since 1982 and did not lack any
excitement. O'Neal bolted to the lead and led the first 39 laps of the
race. He held off challenges from both Decker and McDowell early on.
Owens managed to make a late-race run to grab his second consecutive
series win.
Coffey, started
eighth in the Sweeteners Plus sponsored Rocket and put on a late charge.
He passed O'Neal for second with four laps to go. O'Neal in the Superior
Cleaning sponsored MasterSbilt had the strongest car for most of the
race as he had to fight off a late-race charge from Bloomquist who
placed a close fourth in the Miller Brothers Construction, Bloomquist
Race Cars entry. Decker in the Gypsum Express Rocket gave the home state
fans a thrill early on. He was constantly challenging O'Neal for the
lead in the early goings, before fading to fifth at the finish.
Completing the top
ten were Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL; Dale McDowell of
Chickamauga, GA; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; Dan Stone of Thompson, PA;
and John Blankenship of Williamson, WV.
O'Neal was the Red
Buck Cigar Fast Qualifier among the 23 entries. Heat race winners were
O'Neal, Owens and Decker. Dale Caswell captured the B-Main.
The Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series stays in the state of New York for a second-ever
visit to Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, NY. The event will be held on
Thursday Night, July 29th for a $10,000 to win main event.

Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series Concludes Month of July in
New York and Maryland
|
|
CORONA, CA (July 21, 2010) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will
return to action next week to conclude the month of July. On Tuesday
Night, July 27th the series will make its' first ever appearance at
Fonda Speedway in Fonda, NY, followed by a Thursday Night, July 29th
visit to Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, NY. To top off the weeklong
trip, the series heads to Hagerstown (MD) Speedway on Saturday Night,
July 31st.
At
all three venues, there will be a complete show for the Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series with Wiles Driveshafts, AFCO Racing Products, Allstar
Performance, and SuperFlow Heat Races. Hawk Performance Brake Pads and
Performance Rod and Custom B-Mains will then precede the $10,000 to win
main events each night.
With 25 events in the books for 2010, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series' reigning champion, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN is still
holds a 160-point advantage over Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN. Owens was
able to cut Bloomquist' lead down after winning his sixth series event
of the season this past Saturday Night in the CMH "Diamond Nationals" at
Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. Bloomquist saw his streak of six
consecutive top-five finishes end this past Saturday Night where he
placed sixth, as Owens chopped 50-points off his lead after Saturday's
main event.
Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL, the 4-time series champion, has
gained momentum in the points chase as he holds the third spot just
65-points behind Owens. Pearson, who had his series record-setting
streak of four consecutive wins broken Saturday Night finished third
behind Owens and Chris Wall of Springfield, LA in the CMH "Diamond
Nationals." During his recent hot-streak, Pearson became the all-time
winningest driver in series history with his 24th victory on Friday
Night at Tri-City Speedway.
Pearson and teammate Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY both drive for 2000
NASCAR Cup Champion, Bobby Labonte, who will be making his 600th career
start in Cup racing this Sunday, July 25th in the "Brickyard 400" at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Labonte won the event back in 2000 on his
way to the championship, which he won by 265 points over Dale Earnhardt.
Ray
Cook of Brasstown, NC overcame a couple of disappointing qualifying runs
at Tri-City Speedway on Friday and at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday
bounced back nicely as he earned two top-ten runs at both tracks after
starting deep in the field. Cook, the 2010 DART Show-Me 100 winner
currently sits fourth in the championship points standings over fellow
MasterSbilt Race Cars driver, Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN.
Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA, who drives for NASCAR's Clint Bowyer,
sits sixth in the championship points standings. He, like Cook, had to
rally both nights last weekend to secure a spot in the top ten.
McDowell is 175-points ahead of Wall, who is coming off of a season-best
second place in the CMH "Diamond Nationals" and is seventh in points.
Rounding out the top-ten are Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN; Dan
Schlieper of Sullivan, WI; and Eric Wells of Hazard, KY.
Wall has stretched his Quarter Master "Rookie of the Year" points lead
to 190-points over Wells in the last few weeks. Marshfield, WI's Tim
Isenberg holds down the third spot.
The
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series has 14 drivers with perfect attendance
for the '10 season. Outside of the top ten in the current championship
point's standings, John Blankenship of Williamson, WV; Brad Neat of
Dunnville, KY; Isenberg; and 14-year-old Tyler Reddick of Corning, CA
have attended all the series events this year, and reside in positions
11th-14th in points.

Owens Holds off
Wall in Winning CMH Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway
|
|
WHEATLAND, MO (July
17, 2010) - Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN held off a late-race charge from
Chris Wall of Springfield, LA to win the Fourth Annual CMH "Diamond
Nationals" on Saturday Night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Owens took home
$10,000 for his seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the
season. Earl Pearson, Jr. of Jacksonville, Fl finished third, followed
by Billy Moyer of Batesville, AR and Brady Smith of Solon Springs, WI.
The event was co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil MLRA.
"I want to thank the
fans for coming out tonight, it was hot today and I hope they saw a
great show; the cautions killed us, we would get a big lead and a yellow
would come out," said the 38-year-old Owens. "I want to thank my car
owner, Mike Reece, Reece Monument Company, Gantte Appraisals, Cornett
Racing Engines, and Bloomquist Race Cars, and all of my product
sponsors."
Owens led all 50
laps and was in control for most of the event. He was challenged by
Pearson mid-way through the race and by Wall in the waning laps. Wall
managed to close to within a car length of the leader when he bobbled on
the white flag lap. Owens managed to recover and hold off the last lap
charge from Wall.
Wall, who recorded
his best Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finish of the year, was elated
afterwards. "I have to thank my crew, it's an honor to finish second to
Jimmy, I thought for a moment I might get by him, but he's too tough,
and we're extremely happy with this finish."
Owens' victory
tonight marked his 19th career win on the Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series tour. He also ended Pearson's win streak at four.
"It's been a great run over the last two weeks," said Pearson. "The
crew worked hard and things were clicking, we got to Jimmy a couple of
times, but he had the best car of the night; he outran us in the heat,
and he deserved to win."
Completing the top
ten were Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC;
Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA; and
Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY.
The event was taped
for a two-hour broadcast special to air on SPEED at a later date.
The Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series will return to action on Tuesday Night, July 27th
with its' first ever appearance at Fonda Speedway in Fonda, NY. Thursday
Night, July 29th, the LOLMDS venture to Utica-Rome Speedway
in Vernon, NY for its second ever appearance at the New York speed
plant. On Saturday Night, July 31st the series will head to
Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, MD.

line on the final lap.
"I want to thank all the fans for coming out tonight," exclaimed Pearson
in Lucas Oil Victory Lane, "I would like to give credit to my crew for
all of their hard work, and the guys back at the race shop. I also want
to thank Bobby Labonte, Lucas Oil Products, Red Buck Cigars, Larry
Wallace Racing Engines, and MasterSbilt Race Cars."
In the early stages of the race, the top five set a blistering pace with
Pearson breaking away from the rest of the field. Pearson held a
comfortable lead over Bloomquist, Moyer, Chris Wall, and Don O'Neal. It
wasn't until a lap 21 caution for Tyler Reddick, that the dynamics of
the race changed for the remainder of the event.
After the restart, Pearson maintained his patented bottom shelf around
the track. Bloomquist and Owens found traction on the top groove of the
racing surface, allowing them to close in on Pearson by the halfway
mark. Moyer made it a three-car battle for second, using the same line
as Pearson. After starting tenth, Birkhofer made a mid-race surge into
the top five as he went around O'Neal on lap 31. In the waning laps of
the event, Pearson managed to distance himself from Moyer, who had
passed Bloomquist with four laps to go to take over the second spot.
Coming home in sixth was O'Neal of Martinsville, IN. Twenty-third
starting, Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA finished seventh. During time
trials, McDowell got into the wall coming off of turn four and flipped
his primary car. He went to a back-up car and was involved in a wreck
during his heat race. His crew managed to repair the damage in time for
him to take a series provisional for the main event. John Blankenship
of Williamson, WV finished eighth, followed by Jimmy Mars of Menomonie,
WI; and Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC.
In preliminary action, Earl Pearson Jr. set the Red Buck Cigars Fast
Time among the 42 entrants. Heat race winners were Pearson, Steve
Casebolt of Richmond, IN; Billy Moyer, and Don O'Neal. The B-Mains were
won by Bub McCool and Brad Neat.
Tonight's event will be featured as an hour-long broadcast on SPEED at 1
PM (Eastern) on Saturday, August 7th.
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be back in action tomorrow
night, July 17th at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO for the Fourth
Annual "CMH Diamond Nationals". The event will pay $10,000 to win and
will feature a full racing program with Red Buck Cigars Time Trials,
Heat Races, B-Mains, and the 50-lap main event.

include Steve Casebolt from Richmond, IN, Ray Cook from Brasstown, NC,

sponsorship to a driver for the 2011 season. We've been working on this
program for some time now and were looking forward to kicking it off at
Lucas Oil Speedway on July 17th. This will be a great
program that will include the fans as well and hopefully generate new
customers for Appliance Zone through our series and the dirt late model
industry", stated Ritchie Lewis series director.
Appliance Zone will
have a company display in the vendor midway with computers linked to the
internet to provide race fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite
driver at Lucas Oil Speedway the day of the event on July 17th.

said Jim Allen, ApplianceZone.com's CEO. "The Driver Development Contest
underscores our feeling that getting ahead in the world requires hard
work and perseverance. We have a strong 'You can do it!' attitude around
here and the guys at Lucas have done a good job helping us bring that to
life in their Late Model Dirt Series", stated Jim Allen..

Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Tri-City and Lucas Oil Speedway this
Weekend
|
|
CORONA, CA (July 12,
2010) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series roars back into action with
visits to Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, IL for the "Budweiser 50"
this Friday Night, July 16th and Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO for
the "CMH Diamond Nationals" on Saturday Night, July 17th.
Both events will pay $10,000 to win and $700 to start and will be taped
by the cameras of SPEED.
The Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series is coming off of a very successful "Clash at the Mag"
this past weekend at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS. A
record-setting crowd saw Earl Pearson, Jr. of Jacksonville, FL win his
sixth series event of 2010. The event was also his third in a row, and
the 23rd of his career. Pearson is now in sole possession of
first place in all-time series wins, one ahead of defending LOLMDS
National Champion, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN.
Pearson will be
attempting to set an all-time series record with his fourth consecutive
victory on Friday Night. The event will be held at Kevin and Tammy
Gundaker's Tri-City Speedway, located across the Mississippi River from
St. Louis, MO. Earlier this year Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN; who is
second in the championship point's standings, had a chance to win four
in a row. He was denied victory at La Salle (IL) Speedway back in May
when Bloomquist snapped Owens' win streak at three.
The visit to
Tri-City Speedway this Friday Night for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series will mark the sixth straight year that the series has come to the
3/8ths mile high-banked oval. Pearson, Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, IL;
Billy Moyer of Batesville, AR (Twice); and Martinsville, IN veteran and
Lucas Oil Series driver, Don O'Neal are among the winners who have
graced victory lane at Tri-City in the past five years.
On Saturday Night,
the stars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, along with the Lucas
Oil MLRA Late Model Series will visit the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" Lucas
Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. The appearance by the LOLMDS is the
ninth all-time at the track. Iowa's Brian Birkhofer has taken home three
victories at the track since 2006. Other series winners at Lucas Oil
Speedway includes Pearson, who has won twice; Shannon Babb, Bart
Hartman, and this year's $30,000 to win DART "Show-Me 100" Champion, Ray
Cook of Brasstown, NC.

Pearson Pockets $20,000 in Winning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
Event at Magnolia
|
|
COLUMBUS, MS (July
10, 2010) - In front of the largest crowd in the history of Magnolia
Motor Speedway, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL won his third
consecutive Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series main event. He earned
$20,000 by winning the "Clash at the Mag" Presented by the Columbus
Convention and Visitors Bureau, on Saturday Night. Pearson took the
lead on lap 30 and held off defending series champion, Scott Bloomquist
of Mooresburg, TN for the win.
"I want to first
thank all these fans for coming out here tonight, it was hot and I'm
sure they saw a good show," said the 38-year-old Pearson whose win was
his 23rd in series history. The win tonight broke a tie atop
the all-time win list; Pearson now leads Bloomquist by one victory. " I
have to thank Lucas Oil Products, Red Buck Cigars, MasterSbilt Race Cars
and Larry Wallace Racing Engines for all of their support. I also want
to thank my car owner, Bobby Labonte, my crew Jason, Matt, and everybody
back at the shop. The car was fast from the time we unloaded it on
Friday."
Rookie, Eric Wells,
bolted out to the early lead and looked strong early on as he led the
first 19 laps of the race. Bloomquist took over the lead on lap 20. He
held the lead until Pearson made a smooth move on the inside of
Bloomquist coming off of turn four on lap 30 to get by the reigning
champion.
Pearson built a
healthy lead over what turned out to be torrid battle for second between
Bloomquist, Ray Cook, and Billy Moyer. The trio brutally fought for the
second spot for most of the main event. Moyer then managed to clear
both Cook and Bloomquist to solidly claim the second spot on lap 71.
Moyer then started to close on the almost insurmountable lead that
Pearson had built.
After to getting
within five car lengths of the leader, Moyer suddenly slowed on the
frontstretch and pulled to the infield as he entered turn one on lap
79. After the final restart, Bloomquist consistently challenged Pearson
for the lead until the final three laps. In the waning laps Pearson was
able to maneuver through traffic to maintain his lead ahead of
Bloomquist.
"I want to thank
Johnny Stokes for the great race track he gave us tonight," exclaimed
Pearson, "you could run anywhere on the track. Eric [Wells] ran well in
the beginning of the race; when Scott got around us, I knew it was going
to be a tough race for the lead."
Cook finished third
in the D&R Racing, #53 MasterSbilt. Dale McDowell in the Clint Bowyer
Racing, Dollar General, Warrior Race Car passed the Mike Reece owned
number 20 of Jimmy Owens on the final lap to claim fourth.
Rounding out the top
ten were Stacy Taylor, Don O'Neal, Dan Schlieper, Terry Phillips and
Chris Wall.
The event was taped
by SPEED and will air on Saturday July 31st, for more

Moyer
Hopes to Continue Roll with Visit to Magnolia Motor Speedway this Weekend
By James Essex
The hottest dirt late
model driver in the country, Billy Moyer of Batesville, AR hopes to continue
what has become a habit – ending up in victory lane as the 52-year-old
National Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer comes to Magnolia Motor Speedway in
Columbus, MS this weekend for the “Clash at the Mag” an event he won last year
holding off Chris Wall of Holden, LA for the win.
With a $20,000 paycheck up
for grabs, Moyer with a win Saturday would surpass $200,000 in winnings this
season. The terrific season Moyer is having makes one think that his plans
for retirement may be put off a little longer. After all he has 16 wins this
year (730 for his career) and $197,000 in first place winnings alone already
this year.
Moyer has picked up wins
in the sports’ highest paying race, the $100,000 to win Dirt Late Model Dream
at Tony Stewart’s Eldora (OH) Speedway and the $20,000 to win Illini 100 at
Farmer City (IL) Raceway back in April to go along with his recent hot streak
in the UMP Summernationals where he has captured six wins in only seven
appearances.
Moyer’s competition will
be tough this weekend at the Johnny Stokes-promoted Magnolia Motor Speedway
where the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be sanctioning the race that
pays $20,000 to win, $10,000 for second and $1,000 to start as the track hosts
not only the best of the Lucas Oil Series, but the top drivers in the region
at a track where they drew 46 late models this past Sunday.
While Moyer looks to
extend his winning streak which stands at three he will go head-to-head with
the other titan of the sport in Mooresburg, TN’s Scott Bloomquist who is
leading the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Championship Points Standings.
Bloomquist comes into the race with a 170-point lead over Jimmy Owens of
Newport, TN.
Another hot driver coming
into the event at Magnolia will be 4-time LOLMDS Champion, Earl Pearson Jr of
Jacksonville, FL. Pearson who won twice in Ohio last weekend with the series
has another driver hot on his heels in trying to hold on to third place in the
points as Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC has climbed to fourth in points.
Cook who finished second
to Moyer in the Dirt Late Model Dream last month earning $20,000 has won four
Lucas Oil Series events in ’10 and he has won nine overall this year. Cook,
who last year captured a career-high 12 victories and is on target to surpass
that total this year won the $30,000 DART Show-Me 100 in May at Lucas Oil
Speedway in Wheatland, MO.
Action will get underway
at Magnolia Motor Speedway on Friday Night, July 9th with Time
Trials and Heat Races with the B-Mains and $20,000 to win main event to be
held on Saturday Night, July 10th.

Earl Pearson Jr. Wins Back-to-Back in Ohio in Grabbing Lucas Oil
Series Win at Portsmouth
|
|
PORTSMOUTH, OH (July 4, 2010) - Four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series National Champion, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL took home
his 22nd career series win in grabbing the $10,000 to win Independence
50 on Sunday Night at Portsmouth Raceway Park before a gigantic crowd.
Pearson took the lead from Eddie Carrier Jr. of Salt Rock, WV on lap
three. He went on to his fifth series win of the year. Series point's
leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN was second followed by Ray
Cook of Brasstown, NC; Steve Shaver of Vienna, WV; and John Blankenship
of Williamson, WV.
Pearson and Carrier made up the front row for the main event. The two
second generation pilots went toe-to-toe for the first two laps of the
race, crossing the start-finish line dead even. Pearson was able to
forge ahead of Carrier on lap three as Bloomquist was in the third slot
followed by Jason Covert and Josh McGuire. The 2009 Quarter Master
Rookie of the Year for the LOLMDS, John Blankenship, then moved into the
top five by lap after starting eighth. Up front, Pearson was starting
to pull away from both Carrier and Bloomquist. He opened up a good-sized
lead in the early stages of the race.
Carrier and Bloomquist were able to gain some time on Pearson as he was
starting to pick-up the tail end of the field by the 12th circuit.
Carrier and Bloomquist closed on him just as the first caution of the
race came out for Steve Casebolt on lap 15. The restart saw Pearson work
on extending his lead back out again as Carrier and Bloomquist were
fighting hard for second. With 21 laps in the books, the second caution
of the race flew for a slowing Eric Wells.
The restart saw Pearson take off from Carrier and Bloomquist as Ray Cook
was now in the hunt. He had moved from the tenth starting spot to
fourth, just ahead of Blankenship. On the restart Carrier got shuffled
back in the field and Bloomquist moved to second and brought Cook with
him. At the halfway mark, Pearson was still showing the way as
Bloomquist and Cook were dicing it out for second. The battle for
second continued for several more laps as Pearson had extended his
race-lead to eight car lengths over the duo.
Pearson then had his lead shrink in a hurry as lapped traffic began
slowing his momentum. Both Bloomquist and Cook cut into in his lead in a
matter of a few laps. What was a good-sized lead was now down to two
car lengths with ten laps to go as the top three were close together
with no lapped cars between them.
The third caution of the race for defending track champion, Kenny
Christy. This halted the action on lap 42. With eight laps to go, it
looked like it was going to be a three-car shootout to the finish.
Pearson was strong on the restarts and that allowed him to again build a
comfortable margin over Bloomquist and Cook in the waning stages of the
race.
A caution for a 360 spin by Donnie Moran was due to contact from another
car on lap 46. Shortly after the final restart Carrier pulled off and
headed to the pits. Pearson led the field to the checkers and it was his
all-time series tying 22nd career victory. The feat matched Scott
Bloomquist atop the all-time list. Pearson's win also allowed him to
keep pace with Bloomquist and Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN; who finished
sixth as all three now have five series wins in 2010.
In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Pearson completed the sweep of the Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series Fourth of July Weekend in the state of Ohio. He
won the night before at Muskingum County Speedway in Zanesville, OH. A
tired, but elated Pearson emerged from his car and with a few words of
encouragement from his son, Trey waved to the huge throng of fans on
hand for the race. "First off I want to dedicate this win to my
teammate, Brad Neat, he flipped qualifying and took a pretty good ride,
he's ok, but he had to go to a back-up car, what a way to celebrate the
Fourth of July with this win and last night at Zanesville," said
Pearson.
"We started up there with Eddie Carrier Jr. and I knew when they watered
the top of the track he was going to be tough, but we had a real good
race for the lead there early on, the car worked extremely well, the
track was in good shape, I saw that zero car (Bloomquist) up there on
the scoreboard and Ray Cook there in third, so I knew I was in a for a
tough race there, but the cautions helped us a few times when it cleared
some lapped traffic that was in front of us, the car restarted well and
we were able to hold them guys off," said Pearson who remains in third
in the series championship points standings.
Pearson who drives for 2000 NASCAR Cup Champion, Bobby Labonte drives a
MasterSbilt Dodge Charger with a Larry Wallace Racing Engine and
sponsored by Lucas Oil Products, Red Buck Cigars, PRC, Sunoco Race
Fuels, Hoosier Racing Tires, Asi Racewear and Ohlins Shocks.
Bloomquist maintains his series points lead heading to the next series
race in Columbus, MS next weekend took second for another good point's
night in his Miller Brothers Construction/Roush-Yates Racing
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo SS. Third went to Cook in the
D&R Racing/A+ Moving and Storage/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo SS with fourth
going to Shaver in the K&L Rumley/Styers Curbing/Rocket Chassis with
Blankenship notching a top five in the Coal America's Energy/Custom Race
Engines/Rocket Chassis entry.
Completing the top ten were 12th starting Jimmy Owens, Jackie Boggs of
Grayson, KY; Jason Covert of York Haven, PA; Don O'Neal of Martinsville,
IN; and Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA.

Pearson Makes Late Race Pass on Cook to Win LOLMDS "Budweiser 50" at
Muskingum County
|
|
ZANESVILLE, OH (July
3, 2010) - Overhauling race leader, Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC, with five
laps remaining Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL went on to record
his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season on
Saturday Night at Muskingum County Speedway. Pearson, driving for
NASCAR's Bobby Labonte took home the $10,000 after winning the
"Budweiser 50". Following Pearson was Cook; point's leader, Scott
Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; defending track champion, Doug Dodd of
Cambridge, OH; and Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN.
Cook and Jimmy Owens
made up the front row before a packed house at the Ronnie Moran-promoted
facility. Cook grabbed the early lead. Bloomquist, who started eighth,
made up some impressive ground on the first lap coming up to fourth. A
lap later Bloomquist was in third behind the frontrunning Cook and John
Blankenship. Cook started to build on his lead as a good battle for
second was developing between Blankenship and Bloomquist. Pearson was
running fourth followed by O'Neal. The top three started to pull away
from everyone as the leader started to pick-up the tail end of the field
by the tenth circuit.
Both Blankenship and
Bloomquist started to close on Cook in traffic as Cook was having
trouble negotiating traffic. Bloomquist made the pass for second on lap
15, climbing into the runner-up slot. Pearson then started on his
patented bottom-line. He was able to track down and eventually pass
Blankenship for third on lap 18. Cook, who held as much as a 15-car
length lead over the field, was having trouble getting past track
provisional Shane McLaughlin, allowing both Bloomquist and Pearson to
close the gap on him.
With 30 laps
complete Cook still had almost a straightaway advantage over the last
two series champions, but a caution came out for Doug Drown on lap 31.
With 19 laps to go on the restart it was Cook, Bloomquist, Pearson,
Blankenship, and O'Neal in the top five.
The restart was
exciting as Cook held the lead; Pearson jumped into second followed by
Bloomquist. Dodd became a threat as he moved to fourth after starting
tenth. With tight battles all over the track, all eyes were on the race
for the lead between Cook and Pearson and the race for third between
Bloomquist and Dodd.
Pearson tried the
inside line for several laps to get by Cook, but Cook thwarted Pearson
every time. Dodd then started to catch the two frontrunners as he was
brought along Bloomquist, making it a four-car race for the win. Pearson
was finally able to clear Cook for the lead on lap 45 as Dodd and
Bloomquist were duking it out for third. Pearson then pulled away in
the final laps to record his 21st career win on the Lucas Oil
lLate Model Dirt Series tour. Pearson is now second in all-time wins,
behind Scott Bloomquist's 22 victories. Bloomquist, meanwhile, was able
to overtake Dodd with two laps to go to gain the third position at the
finish.
In Lucas Oil Victory
Lane, the 38-year-old second-generation racer was joined by his crew,
his son Trey, and several fans joined in the celebration. "I'll tell
you what, that was a lot of fun racing there with Ray Cook, we were good
when we unloaded today, the Hoosier tires worked real well today, and
hat's off to my crew. They continue to work their tails off on this car.
Look at this crowd here, there's not an empty seat here tonight; I hope
they enjoyed that race," said the victorious Pearson.
"On the restart
Bloomquist took the bottom which kind of surprised me, but we restarted
really well and then we caught up to Ray and ran with him side-by-side
for several laps. We gave each other plenty of racing room out there,
thanks to the track crew here, the Moran family for giving us a good
track to race on. I probably wouldn't have caught Ray without the
yellow, Scott and I had a good race, but he was running my line and I
couldn't get by him, this is a nice recovery from Beckley. That was my
fault what happened when I spun out there with eight laps to go and to
come back here and run like we did it's a credit to my crew," which
includes Matt Langston and team manager, Jason Fitzgerald who joined the
winning driver in victory lane.

Cook Outhustles
Owens for Lucas Oil Series Win at Beckley
|
|
Mount Hope, WV (July 1, 2010) - Making
his first career start at Beckley Motorsports Park, Ray Cook of
Brasstown, NC fought off Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN in the final ten
laps to win the first ever Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at BMP
on Thursday Night. Cook's third series win of 2010 moved him into
fourth place in the series points' standings. Owens finished a close
second, followed by fast qualifier, Josh Richards of Shinnston, WV;
series points leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; and Dale
McDowell of Chickamauga, GA.
Richards and Cook started on the front row of the 50 lap main event.
Cook quickly grabbed the early lead over Richards, Bloomquist, Owens and
Eric Wells. The first movement inside the top five was on lap six when
McDowell moved past Wells for fifth. Cook held a healthy lead over
Richards with ten laps scored as the two drivers started to enter heavy
traffic. Richards, Bloomquist, and Owens all gained ground on Cook in
traffic as Cook narrowly avoided disaster on lap 13. On that lap the
cars of Tim Isenberg and John Blankenship got hooked together in turn
two, bringing out the first caution of the race. Cook was able to
maneuver his car to the inside of the track around the wreckage and kept
moving.
Cook looked strong as he pulled away from a two-car battle for second
between Richards and Owens. At the halfway mark, Cook was in control
followed by Richards, Owens, Bloomquist, and Tim Dohm. As Cook
approached traffic again, Richards and Owens steadily gained more ground
on the race leader. Lap after lap Owens tried the low line to get around
Richards; the two went at it tooth-and-nail as Owens eventually crept in
front of Richards as the duo headed down the back chute. A caution came
out for two pieces of debris on the racetrack with 38 laps scored. The
race restarted and went green for four laps until a caution came out for
Earl Pearson Jr. in turn one. The caution set up an eight lap dash to
the finish as five more laps went green with Owens all over Cook for the
lead until the final caution of the race came out on lap 47 for Tim
Dohm.
The three-lap chase to the checkers was exciting as Owens tried
repeatedly to get around Cook. Cook managed to hold the slightest
advantage at the start-finish line as he and Owens raced side-by-side
off of turn for to the checkers. Cook held off Owens to take the win,
his ninth career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory and his eighth
in the last two years.
In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Cook thanked the fans for coming out to
support the series at Beckley and his crew for the job they did in
preparing his car. "First off, I have to thank the Good Lord for what
he has done and my crew for preparing such a great race car. This is my
first time here and I didn't know what to expect but the MasterSbilt
Chassis, the Race Engine Design motor and the American Racer Tires all
worked exceptionally well tonight, the race with me and Jimmy, that just
shows you how good that guy is to race with. We were within inches of
each other at those high speeds and never touched one another, that
tells you something," said the 38-year old driver.
"I was glad for a few of those cautions there that cleared out lapped
traffic, our car could handle real well where we were running and I saw
no reason to change my line, when Jimmy got up there I knew if I kept my
line, it was going to be tough to beat him, but what a race, I hoped
the fans enjoyed that, I really like coming here to West Virginia, we
won the Hillbilly at Tyler for my biggest win and we come here tonight
and win, it's like a second home for me."
Cook's #53 is owned by Danny Dishman and Ronald Ivey and sponsored by
Hicks and Ingle Company General Contracting, A+ Moving and Storage, PRC,
Wyatt Builders, Integra Racing Shocks, Star Grafix, PPM, VP, K&N
Filters, Real Racing Wheels, B&M Concrete and Fairway Ford.
Owens finished second, and is now 115 points behind points' leader,
Scott Bloomquist. Owens drives the Reece Monument Company/Cornett
Racing Engines/Bloomquist Ford Fusion. Third place went to Richards in
the Ernie D's Salvage/Roush-Yates Racing Engines/Rocket Mustang.
Bloomquist was fourth in his Miller Brothers Construction/Roush-Yates
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars entry followed by McDowell in the Clint
Bowyer Racing/Cheerios/Warrior Impala SS.
Completing the top ten were Eric Wells of Hazard, KY; Kennie Compton Jr,
of Bland, VA; Hard Charger of the Race, Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY;
Eddie Carrier Jr of Salt Rock, WV; and Chris Wall of Holden, LA.

Bloomquist Takes
First Win for Roush-Yates at Volunteer Speedway on Saturday Night
|
|
BULLS GAP, TN (June 19, 2010) Reigning
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, Scott Bloomquist of
Mooresburg, TN won his fifth series event of 2010 on Saturday Night at
Volunteer Speedway. It was night number two of the Scorcher 100
Presented by Reece Monument Company. Bloomquist inherited the lead when
race leader Dale McDowell broke a bolt in the lift bar on lap 32 after
he had led the first 31 laps of the race. Chris Madden of Gaffney, SC
finished second followed by Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA; Ray
Cook of Brasstown, NC; and Eric Wells of Hazard, KY.
Bloomquist inherited the outside front row
of the 50 lap feature event and started alongside McDowell. Originally,
Dan Schlieper, the fast qualifier for the night, was scheduled to start
outside of the front row but he had to withdraw from the race after
being transported to a local hospital for a medical issue.
McDowell grabbed the point at the start of
the race followed by Bloomquist, Wells, Steve Casebolt and Ray Cook.
Madden started eighth and was making headway early on as he climbed to
fifth around Cook on lap two. Madden was then able to corral Casebolt
and pass him on lap four to take over the fourth position.
Up front, McDowell was setting a
blistering pace. By the ninth lap he had already caught the tail-end of
the field. Bloomquist was able to close some ground on McDowell as they
had a lapped car between them when the first caution of the race came
out on lap eleven for Texas driver, Chris Brown.
On the restart, Wells looked like he was
going to beat Bloomquist into turn for the second spot, but Bloomquist
through a slidejob at Wells in turn two to regain the position.
McDowell was looking solid as he was
seeking his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the year
in the Clint Bowyer owned car. McDowell built a six-car length lead
over Bloomquist by lap 23 as more traffic was playing havoc with the
frontrunners.
Bloomquist was able to cut into McDowell's
lead, narrowing it to two lengths with 28 laps scored. Meanwhile Wells,
who had held the third spot from the beginning of the race, dropped two
spots in the running order as both Madden and Davenport passed him on
lap 28 as he would fall to fifth.
With 30 laps complete it was still
McDowell holding a three-car length margin over Bloomquist, Madden,
Davenport and Wells. McDowell led lap 31, but sparks appeared from the
back-end of his car as the bolt in the lift bar broke.
Bloomquist picked up the lead of the race
with Madden moving into second followed by Davenport, Wells and
Casebolt. With no caution flags on the horizon Bloomquist looked to
have clear sailing to the finish line, but again traffic would enter
into the equation as Bloomquist was being held up and that would allow
both Madden and Davenport to gain on him.
Bloomquist was able to keep a four-car
length advantage over the two in the closing laps as he was able to win
without receiving any late race pressure. For Bloomquist the win was
his 22nd series win of his career which ranks him first
all-time and he also extended his points lead over Jimmy Owens, who
finished 14th after having to run his back-up car after he
collided with the backstretch wall in his primary car during time
trials.
In Lucas Oil victory lane for the fifth
time this year, Bloomquist scored his first win for his new engine
builders, Roush-Yates out of North Carolina. "No doubt, the engine
worked real well tonight, we went home and worked on the car from last
night and everything worked great, the track was real good tonight, they
worked on it, I saw sparks coming from Dale's car and I knew he was in
trouble, we hadn't won one here in a while and it was a good points
night to go along with the win," said the 46-year-old Bloomquist who was
joined in victory lane by his crew chief, Tommy Hicks.
"I have to thank Jay Dickens he put this
together (the Roush-Yates deal) and they have worked real hard on it, we
obviously are pleased so far with the program and hope to get many more
wins," said Bloomquist who drives his own self-designed Bloomquist Race
Cars Chassis sponsored by Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye
Trucking, Sweet Mfg, VP Racing Fuels, Hoosier Tires, Arizona Sport
Shirts, Ohlins and Lane Automotive. The win for Bloomquist was the
491st of his career.
Madden who finished second in the 4th
Annual Car Smart Race for the Cure [Juvenile Diabetes] on Thursday Night
at Cleveland (TN) Speedway claimed his second runner-up finish of the
weekend in the Century Plastics/Hamrick's of Gaffney/Bloomquist Race
Cars Monte Carlo SS followed by Davenport in the Baird
Transport/Clements Racing Engines/Barry Wright Race Cars entry. Cook
came home fourth in the D&R Racing/Hicks and Ingle Company general
Contracting/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo SS with Wells gaining the fifth spot
in the Cox Wrecker Service/Custom Race Engines/Rocket Monte Carlo SS.
Completing the top ten were Steve Casebolt
of Richmond, IN, Vic Hill of Morristown, TN, Don O'Neal of Martinsville,
IN, Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY and Chris Wall of Holden, LA.

100" Presented by Reece Monument Co. Win at Volunteer Speedway
|
|
BULLS GAP, TN (June 18, 2010) - Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN won his
second straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event in dramatic
fashion on Friday Night as he captured night number one of the Scorcher
100 Presented by Reece Monument Company at Volunteer Speedway. He
passed Dan Schlieper of Sullivan, WI heading to the white flag as he
went on to beat Schlieper to the finish line for his fifth series win of
the year. Schlieper, who led 48 of the 50 laps finished second followed
by Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; and
Earl Pearson, Jr. of Jacksonville, FL.
Davenport and Schlieper made up the front row for the $10,000 to win
main event. Schlieper pulled out to an early lead as a terrific battle
for second place was going on between Davenport and Billy Ogle, Jr.
Schlieper built a huge ten-car-length advantage only five laps into the
race as Davenport and Ogle exchanged the second spot twice within a
three lap period.
Schlieper's lead began to melt away as traffic started to enter the
picture by the tenth circuit. The top five were Schlieper, Davenport,
Ogle, Cook and Owens, who was running fifth. The top five stayed the
same until lap 26 when Ogle went pitside for the night.
Schlieper still held a good six-car-length lead even in traffic until
the first caution came out for Mike Marlar who was up against the turn
two wall on lap 29. On the restart, Schlieper had Davenport and Cook
lined up side-by-side behind him for the Delaware double-file restart.
Owens
was the benefactor of the restart as he moved into third, advancing two
spots in the running order. The second and final caution of the race
appeared for John Blankenship, who slowed on the frontstretch on lap 31.
On the
restart, Schlieper again sprinted out to a four-car-length lead with 15
laps remaining in the race as Davenport and Owens would battle
door-to-door for five consecutive laps for the runnerup slot. Schlieper
then moved into some heavy traffic, and with ten laps to go, he still
held a big enough lead that it looked like neither Davenport or Owens
was going to able to catch him. Owens tried unsuccessfully for several
laps to pass Davenport, but was finally able to clear the young Georgia
hotshoe on lap 43 to take over second.
With
five laps to go, Schlieper was seven-car lengths ahead of Owens and
appeared to be on his way for his first series win since July 3, 2008 at
Muskingum County Speedway in Zanesville, OH. Schlieper was having
trouble negotiating around traffic, allowing Owens to cut into his lead
with four laps remaining.
Owens
was able to get within striking distance of Schlieper and it looked like
Owens was going to be able to catch Schlieper in time, but could he pass
him? Owens dove to the inside of Schlieper with three laps to go, but
Schlieper shut the door and the pair headed down the backstretch. Coming
to the white flag, Owens set Schlieper up into turn three and was able
to get to the inside of Schlieper coming off of turn number four as he
took the lead.
Owens
then held off Schlieper on the final lap and picked up his second
straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the weekend. He was
coming off of a win on Thursday Night at Cleveland (TN) Speedway in the
4th Annul Car Smart Race for the Cure [Juvenile Diabetes].
For Owens it was his 18th career series win, which is third
all-time in series history.
In
Lucas Oil victory lane Owens was extremely happy to accept the winner's
check after a hard earned victory. "I said last night at Cleveland,
that I hoped the fan's got their money's worth last night, well I think
tonight we did them one better here," said Owens, who started fifth and
was joined in victory lane by a bevy of well wishers including his son,
Nathan.
"I have
to thank my crew, Chris Fox, and the guys did a great job as usual. We
set fast time, ran second in our heat and we had just enough laps to
catch Dan there at the end. We had a good race with Davenport and I
wasn't sure we could catch him (Schlieper), but in traffic we were able
to close on him and were able to get underneath of him coming to the
white flag. Winning at Bulls Gap is special and with Reece Monument
Company presenting this event, it's great to win for Mike Reece and
everybody there," said the 38-year-old driver who now trails points
leader, Scott Bloomquist by just 50 points heading into night two of
the "Scorcher 100" Presented by Reece Monument Co. at Volunteer
Speedway in Bulls Gap, TN.
Owens,
who drives for Tazewell, TN's Mike Reece drives a Bloomquist Race Cars
Ford Fusion powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Reece
Monument Company, Gantte Appraisals, Red Line Oil, VP Racing Fuels,
Byrd's Radiator, C&C Trucking, Ohlins and Alwee Trucking.
Schlieper drove the Rockstar Energy Drink/Pro Power Race
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion to his second runner-up finish
of 2010 was disappointed in second as he thought he had to car to beat.
"It's bitter pill to swallow, I got there in traffic and then I saw
Jimmy there and I knew I was in some trouble not only having to battle
him, but lapped traffic, the car was super all race long, we just came
up two laps short at the end," said Schlieper who scored his best finish
since the final night of the DART Winternationals at East Bay back in
February.
Davenport was third in the Baird Transport/Clements Racing Engines/Barry
Wright Race Cars entry with Cook finishing fourth in the Danny Dishman
and Ron Ivey/A+ Moving and Storage/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo SS and
Pearson came home fifth in the Bobby Labonte Racing/Lucas Oil Products/MasterSbilt
Dodge Charger.
Completing the top ten were Chris Wall of Holden, LA, Dale McDowell of
Chickamauga, GA, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN, Steve Casebolt of
Richmond, IN and Chris Madden of Gaffney, SC.

Owens Outguns Field in Winning Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series' Car Smart Race for the Cure at Cleveland
Speedway
|
|
CLEVELAND, TN (June 17, 2010) - Jimmy
Owens of Newport, TN outlasted a hotly contested battle for the lead
with Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN. He went on to collect his
fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the year on Thursday
Night at Cleveland Speedway in the 4th Annual Car Smart Race
for the Cure [Juvenile Diabetes]. Owens and Bloomquist went back and
forth for the lead in the first 22 laps of the race until Owens forged
ahead on lap 23. He went on to win the $10,000 first place prize. Chris
Madden of Gaffney, SC passed Bloomquist with ten laps to go to finish
second followed by Bloomquist, Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; and Randy
Weaver of Crossville, TN.
Owens and Bloomquist made up the front row
for the 4th Annual Car Smart "Race for the Cure" for Juvenile
Diabetes 50 lap main event. The event was held before a packed
grandstand. Bloomquist took the early lead with Owens, Earl Pearson
Jr., Madden, and Dale McDowell in the top five early on in the race.
Owens dove to the inside of Bloomquist
repeatedly during the first two circuits until he gained the lead for
the first time on lap three. Bloomquist came back strong and regained
the top spot a lap later. As the two leaders were dueling it out,
Pearson and Madden were having their own battle for the third spot.
The first caution came out on lap seven
for Chris Wall and Jonathan Davenport; the pair got together in turn
number two. The restart saw Bloomquist on the point, followed by Owens
and Pearson. Bloomquist quickly opened up a three-car length advantage
over Owens, with Madden challenging Pearson in the race for third.
Bloomquist began to enter traffic by lap 17, allowing Owens to close to
within a car-length of him. Owens finally squeezed by Bloomquist for the
lead coming off of turn number four on lap 23.
Just as the leaders crossed the
start-finish line, the yellow came out for Steve Casebolt. On the
restart, Madden made the move for third around Pearson on lap 27 after
the two had battled side-by-side for two laps. Meanwhile Owens started
to break away from Bloomquist stretching his lead out over the reigning
series champion. Bloomquist and Madden slowly reeled in Owens with ten
laps to go, but Owens was up to the task. He used lapped traffic to
clear some distance between himself and the duo of Bloomquist and
Madden. Madden saw his opportunity to pass Bloomquist on lap 40, but by
then Owens was well ahead of him and without the benefit of any cautions
it was Owens' race to lose.
Owens was joined in victory lane by car
owner Mike Reece and told the fans that it was quite a race in his eyes.
"I hoped the fans enjoyed that one, we had a real good race going with
Scott. Once we got out into the lead, our car was just on a rail. I have
to thank my crew, we have struggled a little bit lately, but they have
worked real hard this week and gave me a good car tonight. Thanks to
Mike Reece for being here and all the fans for coming out tonight," said
the 38-year-old racer.
The number 20, Bloomquist Race Cars Ford
Fusion, powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Reece
Monument Company, Gantte Appraisals, Red Line Oil, VP Racing Fuels,
Byrd's Radiator, C&C Trucking, Alwee Trucking, and Ohlins.
Madden was second in the Xtreme Customs
and Cycles/Cornett Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars entry followed by
Bloomquist in the Miller Brothers Construction/VP Racing
Fuels/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo SS. Ray Cook came home in fourth
in the D&R Racing/Hicks and Ingle Company General Contracting/MasterSbilt
Monte Carlo with Weaver finishing fifth in the BKW Disaster and
Recovery/Bloomquist Race Cars entry.
Completing the top ten were Earl Pearson
Jr. of Jacksonville, FL; Dan Schlieper of Sullivan, WI; Don O'Neal of
Martinsville, IN; Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; and John Blankenship
of Williamson, WV.

Tennessee Tripleheader Awaits Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series this Week
|
|
CORONA, CA (June 14, 2010) - After taking a weekend off, the Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series is back in action this week, with three events in
the state of Tennessee. The first will be a visit to Cleveland Speedway
in Cleveland, TN on Thursday Night, June 17th for the 4th Annual Car
Smart "Race for the Cure" for Juvenile Diabetes. The next event is the
two-day dual 50-Lap "Scorcher 100" at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap,
TN on Friday and Saturday, June 18th and 19th.
There will be a complete show for each of the three nights with Red Buck
Cigar Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains and the $10,000 to win/$700 to
start feature events.
Thursday Night will mark the second appearance of the LOLMDS at the
Monty Morrow-promoted Cleveland Speedway. The track will host a special
"Race for the Cure" for Juvenile Diabetes 50-Lap event. Last year in the
series' initial visit to the track, Jake Knowles of Tyrone, GA won his
first ever Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event. This was also the
biggest win of Knowles' racing career.
The
stars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will make its second
appearance of the season at Volunteer Speedway. The famed high-banks
will host the "Scorcher 100" as two one-day 50-Lap shows. The winner
each night will earn $10,000 each night. Originally the format was a
two-day $20,000 to win program. Back in March Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC
captured the LOLMDS sanctioned "Spring Thaw 50" at "The Gap".
Reigning Series Champion, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN currently
holds the lead in the chase for the 2010 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series National Championship. The title is worth $75,000 again this
year. Currently, Bloomquist is leading fellow Tennessean, Jimmy Owens of
Newport by 150 points heading into the weekend. Behind Bloomquist and
Owens is four-time LOLMDS National Champion, Earl Pearson Jr. of
Jacksonville, FL; Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN; and 2010 DART Show-Me
100 winner, Ray Cook.
The
remainder of the top ten going into this week at Cleveland and Bulls Gap
are Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN;
Chris Wall of Holden, LA; Dan Schlieper of Sullivan, WI; and Eric Wells
of Hazard, KY.
Wall still maintains his lead in the Quarter Master "Rookie of the Year"
points' battle; currently 70 points ahead of Wells. Tim Isenberg of
Marshfield, WI is third in the RoY chase.
This past weekend, several Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series drivers
participated in the Dirt Late Model Dream XVI at Tony Stewart's Eldora
Speedway in Rossburg, OH. The top thirteen drivers in Lucas Oil
Championship Points for the LOLMDS were on hand to battle for the
sport's richest prize of $100,000 to win. Ten LOLMDS drivers made the
starting grid for the event, which was held Sunday afternoon.
The
final results showed that six of the ten Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series starters finished in the top ten. Ray Cook finished second behind
winner Billy Moyer. Cook earned $20,000 for his runner-up finish. Dale
McDowell took home $10,000 for finishing third in the famed-event.
Defending Series Champion, Scott Bloomquist was fifth. Don O'Neal, who
had to race his way from the C-Main to the B-main came home in seventh,
followed by 2009 LOLMDS Quarter Master Rookie of the Year, John
Blankenship, who finished eighth. Dan Schlieper rounded out the top ten
for the Lucas Oil Series contingent.
Other series drivers who the made the starting grid for the race Dream
included Brad Neat who finished 12th; Steve Casebolt, who finished 14th;
Mike Marlar wound up 18th; and Jimmy Owens, the defending race winner
finished 24th after dropping out of the event.

Pearson Holds Off
Bloomquist and Mars to Win Ralph Latham Memorial at Florence
|
|
UNION, KY (June 5,
2010) - Fighting off both Scott Bloomquist and Jimmy Mars in the closing
laps, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL captured the Lucas Oil Late
model Dirt Series sanctioned 24th Annual Ralph Latham
Memorial on Saturday Night at Florence Speedway. Pearson's third series
win of the year was worth $10,000 as he recorded his first ever win at
the half-mile track. Bloomquist fell one car length short to Pearson at
finish with Mars taking a close third. Completing the top five were
Darrell Lanigan of Union, KY and Audie McWilliams of Walton, KY.
Ray Cook and Pearson
made up the front row for the annual event with Pearson gaining the
early advantage over Cook and Lanigan right from the start. Pearson
stretched his lead to eight car-lengths by lap three as he set a
blistering pace in the Bobby Labonte owned car. By lap nine, Pearson
had already picked up the tail end of the field as Cook, Lanigan,
Bloomquist and McWilliams made up the top five.
By lap 13 Pearson's
lead was up to an astounding 15-car length lead over Cook, who had
settled in second, just in front of a great battle between Lanigan and
Bloomquist for third. The first caution came out for sixth running
Scott James on lap 18 as the veteran driver came to a halt in turn two.
On the restart Cook
drastically fell off the pace in the running order; falling from second
to fifth within a lap as Lanigan, Bloomquist, and McWilliams all went
past him. The race stayed green for eight circuits until Matt Miller
slowed on lap 25, the halfway mark of the race. Pearson was still in
the lead with Lanigan, Bloomquist, McWilliams and 14th
starting Jimmy Mars now in the chase as he was up to fifth.
On the restart,
Bloomquist and the Mars would subplant Lanigan from second as he dropped
to fourth on lap 26. Pearson then opened up some breathing room for
himself as Bloomquist and Mars found themselves dicing it out for
second. With no caution flags in sight, Pearson started to pick up the
back end of the pack again, allowing both Bloomquist and Mars to close
the gap.
With ten to go,
Bloomquist had his sights set on Pearson. Pearson was negotiating
traffic and Bloomquist started knocking on the door for the race lead.
With five to go, Bloomquist was only a car length behind as Pearson dove
to the inside of a lapped car just as Bloomquist put his car up against
the retaining wall in turn three in an effort to pass Pearson coming off
of turn four. Pearson's well-designed moves through traffic allowed him
to hold off Bloomquist for the win.
With Bloomquist and
Mars right behind Pearson, the trio of drivers took the white flag and
coming off of turn two Bloomquist tried the high-side again into turn 4
and hoped his momentum would carry him past Pearson heading to the
checkers, but Pearson was able to get off turn 4 good enough to beat
Bloomquist to the finish line by a car length to grab the win.
In Lucas Oil Victory
Lane for the 20th time in his career, the 38-year-old, 4-time
LOLMDS Champion was elated to win for the first time at Florence. "The
track crew did a great job with this track as they always do, we didn't
know how it would turn out with the rain chances for the day, but it
turned out to be superb and the fans saw a helluva show," said the
second generation racer, who is third in the Lucas Oil Championship
Points' Standings behind Bloomquist and Owens.
"I have to thank my
crew Jason, Matt and Eric. This car was perfect tonight, we got out
there to that big lead and stayed up top there and we was hoping the top
would stay good for the whole race like it usually does here, we had a
couple of cautions there and that slowed our momentum and I saw Scott's
nose there a few times and in traffic I thought I have to make the right
move here or he was going to get me and fortunately we held on and it's
great to get this win for Bobby (Labonte) he's going to be real happy
when he about this and we got two wins for him this weekend," said
Pearson who was referring to his win at Florence and teammate Brad
Neat's win on Friday Night at Tazewell Speedway.
The MasterSbilt
Dodge Charger driven by Pearson is powered by a Larry Wallace Racing
Engines and sponsored by Lucas Oil Products, Red Buck Cigars, PRC,
Sunoco Race Fuels, Hoosier Tires, Asi Racewear and Ohlins.
Bloomquist, who
finished second in his Miller Brothers Construction/Vic Hill Racing
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo SS, congratulated Pearson
afterwards for a great race. "That was fun out there, Earl drove a
really good race, I was hoping he would get caught behind that slower
car there and I would be able to pass him, the track was great during
the feature, we love coming up to race and can't wait to get back here
in August," said Bloomquist who maintains the series points lead over
Jimmy Owens and Pearson by 150 points.
Mars, the defending
Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 winner last August at Florence was
happy with his performance, "that was a good race out there between Earl
and Scott, I thought we had something for them there at the end, the car
was working real good there, but we just ran out laps, but we'll be back
in August ready to go,' said the driver of the Deppe Enterprises/Pro
Power Racing Engines/MB Customs Malibu.
Fourth went to
Lanigan in the Gotta Race/Cornett Racing Engines/Rocket Monte Carlo SS
who was followed by former Florence Speedway track champion Audie
McWilliams in the Weber Racing/Sparks Contractors/Rocket Impala SS.
Completing the
top ten were Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN; Jason James of
Lawrenceburg, IN; Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; Jimmy Owens of
Newport, TN; and Randy Weaver of Crossville, TN.

Brad Neat Takes
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Event Friday Night at Tazewell
|
|
TAZEWELL, TN (June 4, 2010) - Taking the lead on lap 17, Brad Neat of
Dunnville, KY held on for nearly 60 laps to score his first Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series win of 2010 in the Toyota Knoxville 75 on Friday
Night at Tazewell Speedway. Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN tried
valiantly to get by Neat, but he had to settle for second. LOLMDS
points' leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN held the third spot
followed by Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, TN and Don O'Neal of
Martinsville, IN.
Rodney Kiker and Casebolt made up the front row of the 10,000 to win
75-lap Toyota Knoxville 75 held before a huge crowd. Kiker started off
quickly, grabbing the point on the opening lap as Neat, who started
third moved into second ahead of Casebolt, Ogle, and Bloomquist. Kiker
looked very good in the early laps of the race. Kiker held a three-car
length lead over Neat and Casebolt in the first five laps of the race.
Kiker then started to hit heavy traffic by lap 12 and his lead shrank to
a car length as he had Neat and Casebolt breathing down his neck. In
traffic, Neat overtook Kiker for the top spot on lap 17 and two circuits
later Casebolt went by Kiker for second.
Kiker then began to fade even more as Ogle passed him on lap 20 for
third. The first caution of the race came out on lap 24 for Mike
Marlar's flat tire. On the restart, Neat led the field to green, with
Casebolt and Ogle lined up side-by-side for the restart.
The restart saw Ogle lose a spot to Bloomquist for third as the two
frontrunners started to pull away. Casebolt kept the heat on Neat for
several more laps until lap 41 when he was able to pull alongside Neat
momentarily in the race for the lead. Neat was up to the challenge as he
beat Casebolt to line to continue to stay in the lead. The top five
with 45 laps scored remained Neat, Casebolt, Bloomquist, Ogle, and
O'Neal. The top five were all running on the same straightaway as Neat
started to get into heavy traffic once again.
With 25 laps remaining, Casebolt was all over Neat, he tried both low
and high on the race track to get by Neat, but Neat held his line as he
fought off repeated challenges from Casebolt. The second and final
caution came out for Kiker's flat tire on lap 54. Neat led the single
file restart to the green. He quickly opened up a four car-length
advantage over Casebolt with 15 laps to go. Neat looked to be in
control of the race until he entered traffic again. Casebolt picked up
the pace and closed right onto Neat's deck lid in the final few laps.
Casebolt repeatedly put the pressure on Neat, waiting for him to make a
mistake. Bloomquist closed on Casebolt as but held off the duo's efforts
and went on to record his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of
the year and his first while driving for car owner, Bobby Labonte.
In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since Hagerstown (MD)
Speedway, last August, Neat first congratulated his crew for sticking it
out with him in what has been an up and down season. "Man, I've got to
thank this great crew of mine, they did a fabulous job tonight and they
have done so all year. We haven't had the results we would have liked to
this season, but it feels good to win here at Tazewell, it's always been
a tough place for anyone to win at and we were just fortunate to get the
lead when we did," said the 30-year-old University of Kentucky graduate.
"We had pretty good year last year and we were looking forward to this
year after teaming up with Bobby (Labonte) and Earl (Pearson Jr.), we've
struggled at times and hopefully this will turn around our season and we
can get some more wins and good finishes, it just helps everyone's
morale on the team when you run good like this," said Neat, who's win at
Tazewell was his third career Lucas Oil Late Model Series victory.
Neat's MasterSbilt Cadillac is powered by Cornett Racing Engines and
sponsored by Red Buck Cigars/Lucas Oil Products/T&T Energy/Sunoco Race
Fuels, PRC and Hoosier Racing Tires.
Casebolt, who's primary car suffered mechanical issues in his pit before
hot laps, brought out a back-up for time trials and won his heat race to
earn the outside of the front row starting spot, finished a close second
in the Bob Harris owned/Dixie Chopper/Rocket GTO. Taking third and
maintaining his points lead was Bloomquist in his Miller Brothers
Construction/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo
SS. Fourth was Ogle in the Kilby Equipment/Competition Racing Engines/GTO
Corvette. O'Neal, who started 12th came home fifth in the Superior
Cleaning/Jay Dickens Racing Engines/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo SS.
Completing the top ten were Vic Hill of Morristown, TN; Jimmy Owens of
Newport, TN; John Blankenship of Williamson, WV; Dan Schlieper of
Sullivan, WI; and Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA.

Penalties Levied for Pit Area Incident at Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil
Speedway |
|
CORONA,
CA (June 2, 2010) -
Officials of the
Lucas Oil Late Model Series have suspended driver Will Vaught for one
year, starting May 30, 2010. Vaught, after contact with another driver
on the race track, drove up the back straight-away, from turn three to
the pit exit near turn two and against traffic and into the pit area.
Continuing into the hot pit area, Vaught used his race car to assault
driver Jesse Stovall - still in his car. Vaught crashed into Stovall's
car causing severe damage and exposing crew members and others to risk
of death or serious injury. This suspension applies to the Lucas Oil
Speedway and the Lucas Oil MLRA.
Lucas Oil Late Model
Series Director Ritchie Lewis said: "While with on-track incidents it
can be difficult to determine whether the incident was an accident or
purposeful, Mr. Vaught's actions were clearly deliberate, and dangerous
to the other driver and exposed crew members to great risk. This type
of action can not and will not be tolerated. Will is a good man that
will be an asset to many forms of racing for years to come. He made a
mistake and will pay for his off track actions and move forward. He has
shared that he is not proud of his actions and the series will support
him by staying in communication", said Lewis.
Vaught was disqualified
from the race, the Show-Me 100, and his winnings will be forfeited and
distributed to the DRO Program to support ministries for Lucas Oil Late
Model drivers and teams. Officials want it to be clear that the penalty
is directed only to the driver and that his car owner would be welcome
to continue in competition with another driver.

Ray Cook Wins Heart Pounding 18th
Annual DART Show Me 100 Presented by Lucas Oil Championship
|
|
Wheatland, Missouri (May 29th, 2010) - Ray Cook of Brasstown, North
Carolina etched his name in the DART Show Me 100 history book for the
second time, as he claimed the 18th edition of the event on Saturday
night at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri in front of a
capacity crowd in what could only be described as possibly one of the
greatest races ever.
Jimmy Owens and Earl Pearson Jr. brought the field to the green flag for
the 100-lap affair, which was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series (LOLMDS) and the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing
Association (MLRA). Owens took the lead at the onset of the event with
Pearson Jr., Terry Phillips, Don O'Neal, and Dale McDowell in tow. By
the third circuit O'Neal had cracked the top three as Owens began to
motor away from the field.
Lap 5 found Jimmy Owens catching the tail of the field as Chad Simpson
went down a lap on the sixth circuit. Owens' commanding run would come
to an abrupt halt exiting turn four on the tenth circuit as Brian
Birkhofer got sideways causing Chris Wall to flip in front of the
leader. Owens, with nowhere to go, was caught up in the incident and
had to go to the tail of the field. Wall would be unhurt in the
incident and would rejoin the event fourteen laps later to a standing
ovation from the crowd.
With Owens tailback, Don O'Neal inherited the lead with Earl Pearson
Jr., Billy Moyer, Terry Phillips, and Dale McDowell making up the top
five in the running order. On the ensuing restart O'Neal and Pearson
Jr. began to battle for the lead before the caution waved again on lap
12 as Shannon Babb rolled to a stop with a flat tire. During the
caution, Steve Casebolt also headed pit-side, and both drivers rejoined
the tail of the field.
With the green flag displayed once again, the action at the front of the
pack saw O'Neal motor away from the pack with Pearson Jr. and Moyer
continuing to host a spirited battled for the second spot. Caution
would fly again on lap 21 as Dale McDowell relinquished the fifth spot
with a flat tire. He too would head pit-side for fresh rubber before
rejoining the field.
At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Don
O'Neal, Earl Pearson Jr., Billy Moyer, Ray Cook, and Terry Phillips. As
the race resumed Billy Moyer moved past Earl Pearson Jr. for the second
spot as the duo began to swap positions lap after lap.
Lap 27 would see the yellow flag in the air again as Scott Bloomquist
relinquished the sixth spot with a flat tire. It would mark the first
of two trips to the pit area during the course of the feature for the
Mooresburg, Tennessee driver. With Bloomquist on the tail of the field
the race continued as O'Neal jumped to a comfortable lead over Pearson
Jr., Phillips, and eleventh starting Ray Cook.
The race would endure a ten lap green flag run with O'Neal still at the
point as Phillips and Cook shuffled Pearson Jr. from second to fourth
exiting turn two on lap 32. Two laps later, Billy Moyer Jr. shuffled
Pearson Jr. back another spot.
On lap 38, the caution would wave for Chris Simpson, who rolled to a
stop on the backstretch, which erased O'Neal's eight-car length lead. At
the time of the caution Phillips, Cook, Moyer Jr., and Earl Pearson Jr.
followed O'Neal.
The restart saw Moyer Jr. and Cook beginning to race side-by-side for
the third spot before Cook mounted a charge toward the front of the pack
that saw him dispose of Moyer Jr. and Phillips to race his way to second
by the race's midway point. The next ten laps saw the race slow on
various times by the caution flag before it endured another long green
flag run. Cook stalked O'Neal through lapped traffic for several laps
before slipping passed him on the high side to take the lead as the
field completed the 62nd circuit.
With Cook at the point, O'Neal continued to apply pressure, as 22nd
starting Steve Casebolt joined the fray in the third spot. Another
driver on the move was 29th starting, John Blankenship, who was up to
the fourth spot by lap 65. While Cook maintained the lead, O'Neal and
Casebolt waged war for the second spot with disaster nearly striking as
they completed lap 67 as the pair briefly made contact sending Casebolt
into the front stretch wall. Casebolt would recover after losing
several car lengths to O'Neal. Three laps later he would race passed
O'Neal for the lead and set his sights on race leader, Ray Cook.
By lap 73 Cook and Casebolt were battling side-by-side for the lead and
Casebolt, became the fourth different leader of the race. Casebolt
quickly extended his lead and would finally be slowed by a caution for
John Blankenship, who rolled to a stop with a flat on lap 82.
The ensuing restart saw Casebolt drive away from the field once again,
and appeared to be on his way to a comfortable win before bad luck
struck on lap 89, when he lost his driveshaft, bringing his night to a
disappointing early end. With Casebolt in the pits, Ray Cook inherited
the lead and fought off a late race challenge from Don O'Neal to claim
the $30,000 payday in the 18th Annual DART Show Me 100 Presented by
Lucas Oil. Don O'Neal, Terry Phillips, Eric Wells, Dennis Erb Jr.,
Billy Moyer Jr., Scott Bloomquist, Dan Schlieper, Brad Neat, and Mike
Marlar rounded out the top ten finishers.
Earlier in the evening Martinsville, Indiana's Don O'Neal topped the
Manufacturer's Dash For Cash taking the win over Brian Birkhofer and
Billy Moyer.

Jimmy Owens Tops Preliminary Night of
18th Annual DART
Show Me 100 Presented by Lucas Oil
|
|
Wheatland, Missouri (May 28th, 2010) - The opening night of the 18th
Annual DART Show Me 100 was held on Friday night as seventy-three Super
Late Models converged on Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri for
the event, which was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series (LOLMDS) and the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association
(MLRA).
Jimmy Owens opened the evening by setting fast time in Red Buck Cigars
Qualifications with a 16.037 second lap around the clay oval. Owens
would go on to win the Wiles Drive Shaft First Heat race from the pole
position to earn the pole for Saturday night's 18th Annual DART Show Me
100 finale. He picked up the win in heat race one over Jesse Stovall,
and Jared Landers, who both transferred to the main event.
Afco Heat Race #2 saw 1999 DART Show Me 100 Champion, Terry Phillips,
take off from the pole position and build a straight away lead early in
the race before Jimmy Mars caught him late in the race to battle for the
lead. Phillips held Mars off for the win as the pair raced away from
the field, but behind them, a physical battle was held between Will
Vaught and Steve Casebolt. Vaught, who was running second early in the
race, when he briefly lost control in turn four, allowing several cars
to race past, made a daring move to the inside of Steve Casebolt
entering turn one on the white flag lap. The duo would make contact
with Vaught clearing Casebolt down the backstretch as he went on to
claim the third and final transfer spot.
All Star Performance Heat Race #3 once again saw the pole sitter run
away and hide from the field as Martinsville, Indiana's Don O'Neal put
on a driving clinic to take the win by a full straightaway. However,
the story of the event would be Ray Cook, who started in the 6th
position. While most of the competitors were committed to the low line,
Cook opted for the middle of the track and spent the first half of the
event in a battle with Brad Neat for the final transfer spot. By lap
12, Cook cleared Neat and two laps later would race past Jeremy Payne to
take the second spot. Cook would go on to finish second with Brad Neat
slipping past Payne in the closing laps for the final transfer spot.
Super Flow Heat Race #4 saw Brandon Kinzer and Chris Hall bring the
field to the green. Kinzer would jump to the early lead with Hall
quickly falling backward as Earl Pearson Jr. and Scott Bloomquist moved
up to the second and third positions respectively early in the event.
By lap five, Kinzer's handling was beginning to fade as Pearson Jr. took
over control of the lead. Over the next few laps Kinzer would endure a
freefall through the field with Bloomquist moving up to the second spot
as fifth starting Dan Schlieper advanced to the third spot. Pearson Jr.
cruised to the win with Bloomquist in second as Schlieper withstood a
late race challenge from Eric Wells for the final transfer position.
Dale McDowell and Eric Jacobsen battled side by side early in Wiles
Drive Shaft Heat Race #5 before McDowell set sail from the field as
Jacobsen settled into a comfortable second position. Wendell Wallace,
Dennis Erb Jr., and Chris Wall hosted a spirited battle for the final
transfer spot with three-time DART Show Me 100 Champion, Wendell
Wallace, claiming the spot.
AFCO Heat Race #6 saw an entertaining front row as Billy Moyer started
on the pole with his son, Billy Moyer Jr. starting outside front row.
The duo would peak the interest of the crowd as they battled side by
side for the top spot for the lead during the first two laps before the
elder Moyer finally began to inch away. By the race's midway point
Moyer Jr. began to fight a slightly tight racecar as Shannon Babb and
Brian Birkhofer reeled in the second place runner. However, over the
last few laps Moyer Jr. would recover to claim the second spot behind
Billy Moyer, who took the comfortable win. Shannon Babb took the final
transfer spot over Birkhofer.
The COMP Cams Race of Champions Presented By Quarter Master saw six of
the event's previous eight winners in action. Via pill draw, Scott
Bloomquist and Wendell Wallace started on the front row for the $1,000
to win affair with Bloomquist taking the early lead. By lap three
Wallace pulled even with Bloomquist for the lead and two laps later
would take over the top spot as Ray Cook and Brian Birkhofer battled
side by side for the third spot. On lap the ASI Racewear mandatory
caution flew. The field was lined up for a double file restart on the
four lap shootout. Wallace would quickly dispose of Bloomquist as he
once raced to the lead and went on to lead the last four laps to claim
the win and bragging rights. Scott Bloomquist, Brian Birkhofer, Ray
Cook, Terry Phillips, and Billy Moyer rounded out the field.
Action will resume on Saturday night with a driver autograph session in
the spectator midway from 5:00pm to 5:45pm. Opening ceremonies are
slated for 6:30pm with racing action to follow. B-Mains, the
Manufacturers Dash For Cash, and the 100 lap, 18th Annual DART Show Me
100 Presented by Lucas Oil will all be held. A complete program for the
Open Wheel Modified division will also be held and is sponsored by
Pitt's Homes and New Vision Graphics.

18th Annual DART Show Me 100 Begins New Era This Weekend
|
|
Wheatland, Missouri (May 26th, 2010) -This Thursday-Saturday, May
27th-29th, history will be made as the 18th Annual DART Show Me 100
Presented by Lucas Oil Products begins a new era of the event's
illustrious history at the state-of-the-art, Lucas Oil Speedway in
Wheatland, Missouri.
For the first 17 years the DART Show Me 100 called West Plains Motor
Speedway home, but at the end of the 2009 season, when it became
apparent that the Gibsons were moving toward retirement, it was
announced that the event would be moved to Lucas Oil Speedway in
Wheatland, Missouri. With the move, a new era begins for the event at a
facility where opportunities and possibilities abound. For the 2010
event, Don and Billie Gibson will serve as the Grand Marshalls, and
long-time DART Show Me 100 fans will recognize many familiar sights that
will include everything from the traditional DART Show Me 100 trophy
girls down to the one and only event mascot, Gus the Cool Mule.
Looking at the list of former champions of the event, there is no
denying that it is truly a "Who's Who" of Super Late Model racing.
Previous champions of the mega-event include defending champion, Brian
Birkhofer, Scott Bloomquist, Billy Moyer, Freddy Smith, Wendell Wallace,
Rick Auckland, and Ray Cook.
Many of the previous champions are expected for this year's addition of
the event, which for the second consecutive year will be sanctioned by
the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) and will also welcome the
co-sanction of the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA).
Leading the competitor's into battle will be the only five-time, DART
Show Me 100 Champion, Scott Bloomquist, who is the defending LOLMDS
Champion and currently resides atop the point's standings for the tour
heading into this weekend's festivities. A strong contingent of drivers
from across the nation is expected to converge on the Lucas Oil Speedway
to take a shot at the $30,000 to win/$2,000 to start purse.
The format for the 18th Annual DART Show Me 100 will get underway on
Thursday, May 27th with the traditional practice night event that will
include test and tune time from 7pm to 9:30pm. The popular BBQ Dinner
with the drivers and crews will follow. The dinner is free to everyone
with a pit pass and grandstand spectators are welcome to join for a
modest $10.00 ticket fee.
Friday night will feature time trials and six heat races for the Super
Late Models. Red Buck Cigars has posted a $250 cash prize for the
fastest qualifier, and Weld Wheels has also posted two free wheels to
the fastest driver on the clock. The top three finishers in each heat
race will move on to Saturday night's main event. The balance of the
field in each of the heats will move on to the Super Late Model
consolation events on Saturday night. The COMP Cams Race of Champions
Presented By Quarter Master will be held as well, where all previous
winners of the event are eligible to battle for a $1,000 prize as well
as bragging rights. Open Wheel Modifieds will be featured as the
support class and will compete for $500 to win in an unsanctioned event
sponsored by Pitt's Homes and New Vision Graphics.
On Saturday night the Manufacturer's Dash and two consolation events
will be held for the Super Late Models in addition to the 100 lap, DART
Show Me 100 finale. Multiple bonus prizes have been added to the
weekend's payout, and most recently Safety Solutions, based in
Mooresville, North Carolina, has stepped up to the plate to present the
DART Show Me 100 with a free professional head restraint as well as
accompanying belts and nets. The third and seventh place finishers in
the coveted event will receive a product certificate for 50% off the
purchase of a restraint system.
Open Wheel Modifieds will once again be featured as the support class on
Saturday evening and will compete for $500 to win in an unsanctioned
event sponsored by Pitt's Homes and New Vision Graphics. Race fans
please note that an autograph session will be held in the spectator
midway from 5:00pm to 5:45pm.

Annual DART Show Me 100 Begins New Era This Weekend
Wheatland,
Missouri (5/25/10) –This Thursday-Saturday, May 27th-29th,
history will be made as the 18th Annual DART Show Me 100 begins a new
era of the event’s illustrious history at the state-of-the-art, Lucas Oil
Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.
For the first
17 years the DART Show Me 100 called West Plains Motor Speedway home, but at the
end of the 2009 season, when it became apparent that the Gibsons were moving
toward retirement, it was announced that the event would be moved to Lucas Oil
Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. With the move, a new era begins for the event
at a facility where opportunities and possibilities abound. For the 2010 event,
Don and Billie Gibson will serve as the Grand Marshalls, and long-time DART Show
Me 100 fans will recognize many familiar sights that will include everything
from the traditional DART Show Me 100 trophy girls down to the one and only
event mascot, Gus the Cool Mule.
Looking at the
list of former champions of the event, there is no denying that it is truly a
“Who’s Who” of Super Late Model racing. Previous champions of the mega-event
include defending champion, Brian Birkhofer, Scott Bloomquist, Billy Moyer,
Freddy Smith, Wendell Wallace, Rick Auckland, and Ray Cook.
Many of the
previous champion’s are expected for this year’s addition of the event, which
for the second consecutive year will be sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series (LOLMDS) and will also welcome the co-sanction of the Lucas Oil
Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA).
Leading the
competitor’s into battle will be the only five-time, DART Show Me 100 Champion,
Scott Bloomquist, who is the defending LOLMDS Champion and currently resides
atop the point’s standings for the tour heading into this weekend’s
festivities. A strong contingent of drivers from across the nation is expected
to converge on the Lucas Oil Speedway to take a shot at the $30,000 to
win/$2,000 to start purse.
The format for
the 18th Annual DART Show Me 100 will get underway on Thursday, May 27th
with the traditional practice night event that will include test and tune time
from 7pm to 9:30pm. The popular BBQ Dinner with the drivers and crews will
follow. The dinner is free to everyone with a pit pass and grandstand spectators
are welcome to join for a modest $10.00 ticket fee.
Friday night
will feature time trials and six heat races for the Super Late Models. Red Buck
Cigars has posted a $250 cash prize for the fastest qualifier, and Weld Wheels
has also posted two free wheels to the fastest driver on the clock. The top
three finishers in each heat race will move on to Saturday night’s main event.
The balance of the field in each of the heats will move on to the Super Late
Model consolation events on Saturday night. The COMP Cams Race of Champions
Presented By Quartermaster will be held as well, where all previous winners of
the event are eligible to battle for a $1,000 prize as well as bragging rights.
Open Wheel Modifieds will be featured as the support class and will compete for
$500 to win in an unsanctioned event sponsored by Pitt’s Homes and New Vision
Graphics.
On Saturday
night the Manufacturer’s Dash and two consolation events will be held for the
Super Late Models in addition to the 100 lap, DART Show Me 100 finale. Multiple
bonus prizes have been added to the weekend’s payout, and most recently Safety
Solutions, based in Mooresville, North Carolina, has stepped up to the plate to
present the DART Show Me 100 with a free professional head restraint as well as
accompanying belts and nets. The third and seventh place finishers in the
coveted event will receive a product certificate for 50% off the purchase of a
restraint system
Open Wheel
Modifieds will once again be featured as the support class on Saturday evening
and will compete for $500 to win in an unsanctioned event sponsored by Pitt’s
Homes and New Vision Graphics. Race fans please note that an autograph session
will be held in the spectator midway from 5:00pm to 5:45pm.

Earl Pearson Jr. Takes Second Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series Win of the Year Sunday Night at 34 Raceway
|
|
BURLINGTON, IA (May
23, 2010) - Visiting 34 Raceway for the first time since he won there in
2004, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL came home with the $10,000
victory in the first ever Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series visit to the
southeast Iowa track. Pearson, who started fifth and made quick work of
lap one leader, Don O'Neal as he took the lead two laps into the 50 lap
main event. Pearson then led the rest of the way to score his second
series win of 2010. Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC finished second followed
by 12th starting Will Vaught of Crane, MO, 17th
starting Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA and 11th starting
Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, WI. All 25 starters in the main event managed
to finish the 50 Lap feature.
O'Neal and Cook made
up the front row as O'Neal grabbed the point at the start. Pearson
started on the inside of row number three and quickly charged to the
lead, using his patented inside line around the track as he moved into
the top spot just two laps into the race. O'Neal fell to second behind
Pearson with Cook, Jimmy Owens, and Mark Burgtorf in the top five with
five laps in the books. Cook then passed O'Neal for second on lap seven
to take over the runnerup position as Pearson was pulling away from the
pack of cars behind him.
The first caution of
the race would fly on lap six for Jason Utter, who had a flat tire. On
the restart Pearson held the point with Cook and O'Neal lined up
double-file behind him. The race went green for two laps until Mike
Marlar developed a flat, bringing out the second caution of the race.
The restart again had Pearson on the point with Cook and O'Neal on his
rear deck lid. Dennis Erb, Jr. began to make some noise as he moved up
to third after the restart. Mars then started to challenge O'Neal for
fourth as the two ran side-by-side for two circuits with Mars edging
ahead on lap 14.
With 15 laps in the
books Pearson was comfortably out in front with Cook, Erb, Mars and
O'Neal trying to stay within shouting distance of the leader. The top
stayed in the same order until Will Vaught flexed some muscle, as the 12th
starting Missouri youngster was coming on strong, moving into the top
five by lap 17. Pearson began to encounter traffic by lap 20 as Mars
made a move on Erb to take over the third position. Mars then started
to track down Cook, who was still running second and has the cars took
the crossed flags Mars was all over Cook in the race for second.
Chris Wall spun out
right in front of him on lap 26 as Pearson was barely able to miss the
spinning Wall. The restart saw Vaught jump from fifth to third as he was
trying to get a good finish to break a streak of misfortune the last two
series events. Vaught then brought fellow Warrior Race Car driver Dale
McDowell with him as McDowell charged from his 17th starting
spot to fourth by lap 29.
With 20 laps to go
Pearson was in complete control of the race as Cook and Vaught battled
for second place. Pearson began to pick up traffic again, this time
heavier than before and with ten laps remaining. Cook and Vaught began
to chop into his lead, but Pearson outmaneuvered the duo through some
heavy lapped traffic.
With five to go
Pearson still had to work his way past cars as the top five settled in
for the finish. Pearson went on to score the win, his second Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series win of the season, and his first since East Bay
in February, as he remains in the third place in the championship points
standings behind Bloomquist and Owens.
In Sunoco Race Fuels
Road to Wheatland Victory Lane for the 19th time in series
competition the 38-year-old racer thanked his crew, family, sponsors,
and Bobbly Labonte . "We made the right tire choice tonight, I believe
there were three other guys on the same compounds as we had and the
track took off just tremendously well," said Pearson. "The track was
real good tonight, just like I remember it six years ago when we came
here and won, it feels good to come back here and win again, this is a
really nice facility and the track crew did a great job considering how
much rain they had," said Pearson speaking of the nearly ten inches of
the rain that fell in the area during the week leading up to the race.
"We are really
running good here lately, we got second last night at La Salle and were
going to make this a good race for the points title here soon if we keep
this up, I am sure Bobby (Labonte) is going to proud of the team, it's
always good to keep the boss happy and we look forward to going to
Wheatland next weekend for the Show-Me 100 and we will try to get that
one," said Pearson.
"We had some close
moments there in traffic, but everyone gave each other plenty of racing
room out there, it was close when Wall spun in front me, it looked like
he just got out the brown and lost it, it was just one of those things
and I just missed him, the crew did a great job tonight and thanks to
the fans who came out this weekend to see us all race."
Pearson who drives
for 2000 NASCAR Cup Champion, Bobby Labonte drives a MasterSbilt Dodge
Charger powered by a Larry Wallace Racing Engine and sponsored by Lucas
Oil Products/Red Buck Cigars/PRC/Sunoco Race Fuels/Hoosier Racing Tires
and ASi Racewear.
Cook, who finished
second moved into sixth in the championship point's standings was in the
D&R Racing/Hicks and Ingle Co. General Contracting/MasterSbilt Monte
Carlo SS. with Vaught driving the Paul McKenna owned/Mark Martin
Chevrolet/Warrior Corvette came home third followed by McDowell in the
Clint Bowyer Racing/Cheerios/Warrior Impala SS and Mars in the Deppe
Enterprises/Pro Power Racing Engines/MB Customs Malibu.
Completing the top
ten were Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN who retook the points lead
by ten over Owens, who finished eighth. Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine,
IA finished in between the two top series point men. Dennis Erb Jr. of
Carpentersville, IL was ninth and pole sitter Don O'Neal of
Martinsville, IN came home tenth after pitting for new tires on the last
caution of the race.

Bloomquist
Takes Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win at La Salle Speedway Before
Huge Crowd
|
|
La Salle, IL
(May 22, 2010) - Before one of the largest crowds in the history of La
Salle Speedway, reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Champion,
Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN raced to the win. This victory marks
his 21st career series win and the 390th of his
Hall of Fame career. The Annual Spring Shootout on Saturday Night earned
Bloomquist $10,000 for his triumph. Bloomquist crossed the line ahead
of 11th starting Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL.
Pearson passed Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN on the final lap for second.
Owens saw his three-race win streak end by finishing third. Eighteenth
starting Matt Miller of Waterville, Oh finished fourth followed by Doug
Drown of Wooster, OH; who recorded his best ever LOLMDS finish in fifth.
Red Buck
Cigars Fast Qualifier Mark Burgtorf and Bloomquist made up the front row
for the eighth appearance for the LOLMDS at La Salle Speedway.
Bloomquist grabbed the early lead, setting the pace, followed by
Burgtorf, Mike Marlar, Drown and Ray Cook. Marlar challenged Drown for
third as the two went back-and-forth for three laps with Drown finally
regaining the spot.
Up front,
Bloomquist held a narrow lead over Burgtorf, who was making his first
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series start of 2010. At the same time, a
tremendous battle for third was taking place between Drown, Marlar, and
Cook. Drown, who had broken away from Marlar, began to put the pressure
on Burgtorf for second by lap ten.
Drown
cleared Burgtorf for second on lap eleven as he started to make a run on
the leader, Bloomquist. Bloomquist had started to pick-up the tail end
of the field by lap 15, allowing Drown to close even closer. Bloomquist
put, Quarter Master Rookie of the Year contender, Eric Wells, a lap
down. Wells then stayed between Bloomquist and Drown until the first
caution of the race came out on lap 25 for a spinning Dale McDowell.
On the
restart, Bloomquist was out in front for the Delaware double-file
restart with Drown and Owens. With 30 laps in the books Bloomquist was
starting to receive some heavy heat from Owens and Pearson, who was now
up to third, as he had come from the inside of row number six. Matt
Miller was now in the hunt as the 18th starting spot driver
had moved within striking distance of the leaders.
A caution
for debris on lap 36 slowed the field once more. Bloomquist had to fight
off challenges from both Owens and Pearson. On the restart Owens and
Pearson crowded Bloomquist on his deck lid as the duo made the Team Zero
captain work hard for the lead.
Owens tried
lap after lap to sneak to the inside of Bloomquist coming off of turn
four. He pulled even with Bloomquist coming down the main straightaway
multiple times, but Owens could not clear Bloomquist to take over the
lead. With six laps to go, the final yellow came out for Steve
Casebolt.
Bloomquist
re-fired for the final restart of the race and pulled away from Owens.
Bloomquist went on unchallenged the remainder of the race to pick up his
fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. The duo of
Bloomquist and Owens are now tied for the Lucas Oil Championship Points
Standings with 1565 points, and Pearson closely behind in third.
In the
Sunoco Race Fuels Road to Wheatland Victory Lane, Bloomquist mentioned
that the last restart was to his benefit and felt that it killed Owens'
chance for the win. "The car fired real well out of the corner, we had
a push across the corner on the other side, I saw his nose a couple of
times before the caution, but under the caution we slowed down enough to
keep the tires warm, because I knew he (Owens) went with a little harder
on the left rear, I have to thank Tommy Hicks, my crew chief and the
entire crew, they did a great job getting this car ready, we've run the
Jay Dickens and the Vic Hill, both are great engines."
The
46-year-old Bloomquist drives his own Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo
SS powered by a Vic Hill Racing Engine and sponsored by Miller Brothers
Construction/Hawkeye Trucking/Sweet Mfg/VP Racing Fuels/Hoosier
Tires/Arizona Sport Shirts/Ohlins and Lane Automotive.
Pearson
finished second, passing Owens on the last lap, in the Bobby Labonte
Racing/Lucas Oil Products/MasterSbilt Dodge Charger to maintain third in
the points standings. Owens, who fell into a tie with Bloomquist for
the points lead after entering the event leading by 30, was third in the
Mike Reece/Reece Monument/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion.
Completing
the top five were Miller, who charged from 18th to earn the
PBM/Erson Cams Hard Charger of the Race was fourth in the McCullough
Industries/Gressman Racing Engine/MasterSbilt; with Drown scoring his
best ever Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finish in the Wooster Glass
Company/Malcuit Racing Engines/Lazer Chassis.
Completing
the top ten were Dennis Erb, Jr. of Carpentersville, IL; Don O'Neal of
Martinsville, IN; Ray Cook of Brasstown,NC; Tim Isenberg of Marshfield,
WI; and John Blankenship of Williamson, WV.

Owens Remains Hot in Winning Third Straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series with Event at Wythe, takes over points lead!
|
|
RURAL RETREAT, VA (May 15, 2010) -
Remaining red hot, Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN came from his fifth
starting spot to win Saturday Night's first ever visit by the Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series to Wythe Raceway. For Owens, it was a series
record tying third consecutive win; it also enabled him to take over the
points lead for the first time in his career. Trailing Owens across the
finish line was early-race leader Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL;
Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA; Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN; and
Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN.
Bub McCool and Pearson made up the front row for the 50-lap main event
before a jammed -packed grandstands on the hillside at Wythe. Pearson
took the lead at the drop of the green flag with McCool running second
followed by Jonathan Davenport, Owens and Dennis Franklin.
Owens was on the move early after getting beaten in his heat race by
McCool, Owens charged from the fifth spot past McCool on lap two to take
the second spot. Pearson and Owens then started to pull away from the
pack of cars that were battling for the third position. McCool slowed on
lap seven and dropped out the race giving up his top five spot. Will
Vaught, who started eight then moved into a top five position and began
challenging the third place running Davenport.
Up front the battle for the lead was heating up as Pearson and Owens
went toe to toe for six laps until Owens finally cleared Pearson for the
lead on lap ten. The first caution of the race came out with ten
complete for a slowing Dennis Franklin. On the restart Owens was out in
front for the Delaware double-file restart with Pearson and Vaught; who
had climbed to third in the race; lined up side-by-side heading to the
green flag.
Owens quickly pulled out to a two-car length lead as Vaught made a move
on Pearson taking the second spot on lap 12. Pearson fought back,
regaining the position from Vaught two laps later as the torrid battle
continued for the runner-up spot, but on lap 16 Vaught snatched second
away from Pearson again.
Meanwhile Owens was on cruise control as he stretched his lead out over
Vaught and Pearson as Dale McDowell and Steve Casebolt maintained the
fourth and fifth positions. The top five remained the same until lap 27
when Vaught broke a rear-end, ending his night as he came to a halt in
turn four.
Owens encountered traffic with eight laps to go and it looked like
Pearson was going to be able to gain some ground on Owens in the waning
laps. But Owens cleared the lapped traffic with very little issues and
went on unchallenged the rest of the way to score his record-tying third
straight series victory, the 16th of his career.
In the Sunoco Race Fuels Road to Wheatland Victory Lane, Owens was
beaming ear-to-ear in the Mike Reece owned Bloomquist Race Cars Ford
Fusion; powered by a Cornett Racing Engine. "Man I have to thank the
crew again, they did a great job as usual, and everything's clicking
right now, they made us earn it tonight, we started fifth but the car
took off real well and we got off to a good start, it didn't take long
to get up there and Earl and I had a great race going, we gave each
other plenty of room and I was fortunate enough to get by him," said
Owens who scored his second ever win at the Fred Brown promoted facility
and his first there since 2007.
With the win, Owens took over first place in the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series Championship Points Standings for the first time in his
career. He now leads defending series champion, Scott Bloomquist by 30
points. "We are just worried about the wins right now, we are really on
a hot streak and if we keep winning, the points will come along," said
the 38-year-old driver.
Owens' #20 is sponsored by Reece Monument Company, Gantte Appraisals,
Red Line Oil, VP Racing Fuels, Byrd's Radiator, C&C Trucking, Hoosier
Tires and Ohlins.
Pearson finished second in the Bobby Labonte Racing/ Lucas Oil Products/
MasterSbilt Dodge Charger with McDowell coming home third in the Clint
Bowyer/Dollar General/ Racing Warrior Impala SS. Casebolt was fourth in
the Bob Harris Motorsports/Dixie Chopper/Rocket GTO followed by
Bloomquist in his Miller Brothers Construction/Bloomquist Race Cars
Monte Carlo SS.
Completing the top ten were Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC, Chris Madden of
Gaffney, SC, Eric Wells of Hazard, KY, Steve Shaver of Vienna, WV and
Chris Wall of Holden, LA.

International Raceway in Paducah, KY for a $10,000 to win event this
Saturday Night, May 1st.
This year's trip to

Late Model Dirt Series regulars Dale McDowell and Scott Bloomquist with
McDowell coming out on top before the cameras of SPEED Channel, which
will return for 2010 to tape the event as part of the Series' Broadcast

Jimmy Owens Takes Second Straight Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win on Friday Night at Bedford Speedway
|
|
BEDFORD, PA (April 23, 2010) - Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN scored his
second straight Lucas Oil Model Dirt Series victory winning Friday
Night's Bedford Valley Petroleum $10,000 to win event at Bedford
Speedway. Owens took the lead on lap 13 from Will Vaught and managed to
hold off Brian Birkhofer in the waning laps to take the victory.
Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA finished second followed by Vaught of Crane,
MO; Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL; and Jonathan Davenport of
Blairsville, GA. With the win Owens closed to within five points of
series leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; who finished
eleventh.
Owens and Vaught made up the front row for the 50 lap main event with
Vaught taking the lead at the start of the race with Owens and Birkhofer
trailing. Vaught was racing at Bedford for the first time in his career.
Vaught began to enter traffic by lap ten and Owens closed right on his
bumper.
Vaught held the lead by two car lengths over Owens, as the top five
remained the same for the first 12 laps of the race. Vaught
relinquished the lead to Owens on lap 13 as Vaught fell to second with
Birkhofer still running third followed by Davenport and Pearson. With
twenty laps in the books, Owens held a three-car length lead as Vaught
and Birkhofer stayed close to Owens. By the halfway mark, the top ten
cars were all on the straightaway as Owens tried to pass Dan Schlieper,
who was the last car on the lead lap.
Birkhofer made the decision that it was time to make a pass on the
second place running Vaught as the two came off of turn four on lap 34.
Birkhofer then began to give Owens a run for the lead. Pearson got by
Davenport with ten laps to go to take fourth, but all eyes were up front
to see if Birkhofer was going to be able to pass Owens and with less
than five laps to go. Birkhofer put himself in a position to do so and
with two circuits to go Birkhofer took a stab at Owens in turn 2, but
had to back out of the gas, allowing Owens to get away.
Owens went on to lead the final two laps unchallenged to score his 15th
career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win and his first at Bedford
Speedway in the Mike Reece owned, Reece Monument Company, Gantte
Appraisals, Red Line Oil, Hoosier Tires, VP Racing Fuels, Byrd's
Radiator, C&C Trucking and Ohlins Shocks.
In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second consecutive series event after
his dominating win at Brownstown (IN) Speedway last month. Owens
complimented his crew for making the right tire choice. "I have to
thank my crew chief Chris Fox for choosing the right tires again
tonight, the car was just perfect from the get go, we set fast time, won
the heat and once the track got one-lane we knew it would be tough for
anybody to pass us, Will (Vaught) got a good jump on us at the start and
he drove a heck of a good race tonight, but fortunately for us we were
able to get by him and then passing became difficult, the track was fast
all night, it was a shame it rubbered up like that, but we'll take the
win and head to Hagerstown."
With the win, Owens, who trailed defending series champion Scott
Bloomquist by 90 points heading into the event, earned the maximum
points for the night to close within five of Bloomquist, who was
fortunate to finish eleventh after blowing a tire at the finish line.
Birkhofer in his J&J Steel/Pro Power Racing Engines/MB Customs Monte
Carlo SS finished second in his first Lucas Oil Series start of 2010.
Vaught in the Paul McKenna owned/Mark Martin Chevrolet/Warrior Corvette
finished third, marking his best ever finish with the series.
Completing the top five were Pearson in the Bobby Labonte Racing/Lucas
Oil Products/MasterSbilt Dodge Charger and Davenport in the Mega
Plumbing of the Carolinas/Clements Racing Engines/Barry Wright Race Cars
entry.
The remainder of the top ten were Steve Shaver of Vienna, WV; Jimmy Mars
of Menomonie, WI; Jeremy Miller of Gettysburg, PA; Jason Feger of
Bloomington, IL; and Chris Wall of Holden, LA. The 66 cars entered were
the most ever in Bedford Speedway racing history.

Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and
Tri-City Speedway Agree to Unsanction Fedex 50
|
|
CORONA, CA (April 7, 2010) - Officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series and Tri-City Speedway (IL) have come to a mutual agreement not to
sanction the Fedex 50, scheduled for May 30th. The event falls on the
same weekend as the 18th Annual DART Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway
in Wheatland, MO. The event is slated to take place on the Sunday after
DART Show-Me 100, which has been designated as the rain date for the
famous event now held at Lucas Oil Speedway.
"Everyone with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series loves going to
Tri-City, we love working with the Gundakers and their whole staff,"
stated Series Director Ritchie Lewis, "we really don't like having to
make these changes to our schedule, but we talked with Kevin and Tammy
[Gundaker] and everyone agreed that with the 30th being the rain date
for the Show-Me, it might be best to let the event go unsanctioned."
"We have an incredible partnership with the Lucas Oil Late Model Series
and
Ritchie Lewis and I are very understanding of the decision not to
sanction the
Memorial Day May 30th FedEx 50 at Tri-City Speedway. As we all know, the
weather is a major factor at racetracks and is totally unpredictable.
We look forward to our scheduled July 16 Budweiser 50 Lucas Oil Late
Model event at Tri-City Speedway", stated Promoter Kevin Gundaker.
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will still sanction the Budweiser
50 at Tri-City Speedway on July 16th for the $10,000 to win main event
in conjunction with the $10,000 to win 4th Annual Diamond Nationals on
July 17th at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Jimmy Owens Routs
Field in Winning Indiana Icebreaker at Brownstown
|
|
BROWNSTOWN, IN (March 27, 2010) - Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN dominated
the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned 13th Annual Indiana
Icebreaker on Saturday Night at Brownstown Speedway for his 14th career
series win. Owens led all 50 laps. Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL
finished second, followed by series points leader, Scott Bloomquist of
Mooresburg, TN; Bart Hartman of Zanesville, OH; and Don O'Neal of
Martinsville, IN.
Owens and first- time Brownstown visitor, Chris Wall started on the
front row of the $10,000 to win event, which was held before a standing
room only crowd. Owens got the jump on the field at the drop of chief
starter Eric Roll's green flag. Pearson took the second slot followed
by Wall, Bloomquist and Hartman.
Owens quickly built his lead over the field as Pearson and Bloomquist
battled for second. Owens had a five-car length lead as the first
caution appeared for a three-car pileup in turn two. On the restart,
Owens continued to show his prowess as he pulled away from the field.
Bloomquist moved into second as Steve Casebolt climbed to third, just
ahead of Pearson.
Pearson then regrouped after the restart as he and Casebolt went
door-to-door for two laps before eventually clearing him on lap 12 to
re-take third. With 15 laps in the books Owens had a straightaway lead
over Bloomquist, who was still running second with Pearson third
followed by Casebolt and Hartman. By Lap 17, Owens picked up the tail
end of the field as he now battled cars running two and three wide in
front of him. Bloomquist could'nt gain any ground on Owens..
At the halfway mark Owens was putting on a clinic has he developed a
huge lead over the field with 20 laps remaining. Bloomquist was still
keeping Pearson at bay for second as Hartman ramped up his effort and
got by Casebolt to take over fourth. Thirteenth starting Shannon Babb
was beginning to make a charge into the top five.
With 40 laps recorded, Owens was up to a half-a-lap lead over Bloomquist
as Owens was still fighting his way through traffic. Pearson was
pressuring Bloomquist for second with ten to go. Pearson kept the heat
on Bloomquist and with five laps to go, Pearson finally cleared
Bloomquist to take over the runner-up spot.
Owens was still on cruise control as he went on unchallenged to record
his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2010. Owens had
previously won two open wheel modified features at Brownstown and took
home his first ever Late Model win at the historic Jackson County
Fairgrounds track.
In the Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Owens emerged in front of the cheering
crowd to talk about his domination from start to finish. "The car was
great right of the box, we didn't have to do anything to it, we put the
right tire on, I want to thank Chris (Fox, his crew chief), I want to
thank Mike Reece, Reece Monuments, Gantte Appraisals and all of our
other sponsors, we needed this win, we struggled at Bulls Gap and
Cherokee, this crew we've have all been together since we started
racing, it means a lot to win here and it was a good points night," said
Owens who climbed to second behind Bloomquist in the championship points
standings.
Owens' Mike Reece owned Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion and Cornett
Racing Engines powered entry is sponsored by Reece Monument Company,
Gantte Appraisals, Red Line Oil, VP Racing Fuels, Byrd's Radiator and
C&C Trucking.
Pearson, who finished second, saw his two-race Lucas Oil Series win
streak at Brownstown end also wound with a good points' night in the
Bobby Labonte Racing Racing/Lucas Oil Products/MasterSbilt Dodge
Charger. "Jimmy was gone tonight, we did what we could to stay with
him, but we couldn't, I finally got around Scott there at the end and
the way we ran at Bulls Gap and Cherokee a few weeks ago we will
definitely take this finish,"
Bloomquist finished third, he said afterwards. "Congratulations to
Jimmy on the win, we had the same tires on as he did and then elected to
change and go to the hard stuff, but Jimmy had us all covered tonight,
we'll just move onto the next one," said the 2009 series champion in his
Miller Brothers Construction/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race
Cars Monte Carlo SS.
Hartman in his first race of the season placed fourth in
The912Project.com/Cornett Racing Engines/Rocket Aero followed by O'Neal
in the Superior Cleaning/Jay Dickens Racing Engines/MasterSbilt Monte
Carlo SS put on a late race charge to take fifth.
Completing the top ten were Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, IL, Greg Johnson
of Bedford, IN, Wayne Chinn of Bradford, OH, Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN
and Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN.
Brad Neat was officially credited with an 11th place finish after
originally being scored in 23rd place. A transponder error was found
after the finish and his final position was determined to be 11th Place.

Penalties Levied for Tire Rule Infraction at Spring Thaw at Volunteer
Speedway |
|
CORONA, CA (March 22, 2010) - Officials
of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series announce an independent lab
determined that samples from a tire that Chris Madden used to compete
with at the Spring Thaw at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, TN had been
chemically altered before it was used in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series sanctioned heat race on March 6, 2010 at Volunteer Speedway.
The
following penalties were handed down in accordance to the LOLMDS
rulebook for anyone competing with a chemically altered tire during
competition at a LOLMDS sanctioned event. The Spring Thaw at Volunteer
Speedway on March 6th, 2010 was a sanctioned LOLMDS event with a
contract and insurance in place at the time of this occurrence. The
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Rulebook States that for a 1st offense:
$1,500.00 Fine and 300 points plus any winnings that have accrued for
the event, violator will assume all costs included in any testing
procedures, no points and no winners circle money will be awarded for
that event.
In total, Mr. Madden is being fined
300 points, plus the $1500 fine, $300 in lab testing fees, the $5,000
winnings for his 2nd place finish in the feature event, for a
total of $6,800.00. The portion of the fines making up his winnings from
the Spring Thaw will be redistributed to the track and drivers feature
finishing order. Due to this disqualification, the points from the event
will be adjusted accordingly.
A tire
sample was collected from both Ray Cook and Jimmy Owens from the Spring
Thaw event March 6th at Volunteer Speedway that were tested
and found to be legal. A tire sample was also collected from Scott
Bloomquist and Chris Wall at the March Madness event March 7th
at Cherokee Speedway that were tested and found to be legal.

Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Announces Race Format Change
Corona, CA
(March 10, 2010) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series strives to
provide the fairest racing possible while at the same time producing the
most entertainment value for the race fans. The series is always
reviewing it policies, formats, rules, and procedures on a constant
basis. After carefully analyzing the series stance on heat race
inversions and collecting data on what role the inversion plays in a
series race outcome, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will amend its
technique for the remaining events in 2010.
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will continue to utilize its "Group
A&B Method" to line up the heats after Red Buck Cigar Time Trials. The
series will discontinue the use of the inversion wheel.
"This is something the series has monitored since June of 2007. We
noticed as the talent pool continued to rise, the need for inverts has
gone by the wayside" stated Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Director,
Ritchie Lewis. "Often times in the past, the series had a significant
difference in time trials of the cars that were inverted. This provided
great racing that the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series fans have come to
expect. Now, that time differences have gotten so close, it just isn't
the same case today," continued Lewis.
"We have carefully watched the inversion wheel and the role it's played
in the actual events," stated Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Project
Manager Rick Schwallie. "We found in most cases, the few times the
inversion wheel actually inverted up to four cars, the drivers were able
to somewhat overcome the inversion as long as track conditions were
great. We never want to have a race on a track that has less than
favorable conditions, but in the dirt environment, where so many
variables make up a track's conditions, it's not totally avoidable,
continued Schwalliie.
While assembling the 2010 schedule, the goal of series' officials was to
keep in mind as much as possible, to provide the series' race fans with
the most entertaining venues, while providing the competitors the most
lucrative travel schedule.
"We're confident that we've accomplished our goals and feel that at the
top echelon of the sport, there isn't a need to shuffle the starting
line up to provide the best racing," continued Schwallie
The series' next stop is at the home of the "DirtOnDirt.com Race of the
Year" Brownstown Speedway in historic Brownstown, Indiana. The series
will once again kick off it first northern event of the season at the
13th Annual Indiana Icebreaker. Last year, race fans saw Earl Pearson
Jr. win the 50 Lap "Indiana Icebreaker" in front of a standing room only
crowd. In a heart-stopping event, Pearson took the lead on lap 20 after
a five-car battle for the lead.

Bloomquist Passes
McDowell on Final Lap to Win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Event
at Cherokee
GAFFNEY, SC (March 7, 2010) - Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN
passed race leader Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA in turn four of
the final lap as he outsprinted McDowell to the checkered flag in
winning the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned March
Madness race Sunday at Cherokee Speedway. Randy Weaver of
Crossville, TN crossed the stripe in third followed by 16th
starting Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN and Chris Madden of Gaffney,
SC rounded out the top five.
A wild first lap saw Bub McCool and Ray Cook get together on the
backstretch with Cook suffering heavy damage to his car. Cook went
pit-side and fell several laps down as his crew made repairs to the
car. While the race was under red outside front row starter Dan
Schlieper went to the pits for the night after fluid began leaking
out from under his car. So that put Madden to the outside of
polesitter John Blankenship. The second time would be a charm to get
the race underway. Madden took the lead, followed by McDowell,
Blankenship, Chris Wall, and Johnny Pursley. Wall, who was making
his first appearance at Cherokee, climbed to third on lap three as
Blankenship fell to fourth.
McDowell then started to put the heat on Madden for the lead pulling
even with him on lap ten as the two crossed the start-finish line.
McDowell pulled ahead of Madden on lap 11 as Wall maintained third.
The second caution of the race flew on lap 12 as McCool slowed on
the backstretch.
The restart saw McDowell on the point of the Delaware double-file
restart as Madden and Wall lined up side-by-side ready for the
return of chief starter Bruce Coyle's green flag. McDowell showed
his power; but Madden did not giving up easily as the hometown
favorite closed to the bumper of McDowell's mount with 16 laps
complete. Bloomquist, who started seventh, was now in the hunt. He
was running in the fourth spot bringing Randy Weaver with him.
Bloomquist and Weaver then began to pressure Wall for third, but
Wall, who was the Red Buck Cigars fast qualifier for the night was
doing a good job in fighting off the challenges of the two.
McDowell continued to show the way as he and Madden raced through
traffic through the mid-point of the race. Madden then pulled dead
even with McDowell on lap 27 as the crowd came to its collective
feet. McDowell led lap 28, but a circuit later Madden was scored as
the race leader. The torrid battle for the lead had all eyes on the
two frontrunners. Madden then took a five-car length lead over
McDowell on lap 32 as it looked like he was going to be the car to
beat in the remaining laps of the race, but McDowell re-grouped and
closed quickly on Madden as the two continued to race through some
heavy lapped traffic.
With ten laps to go Madden was still showing the way, followed by
McDowell. Bloomquist and Weaver had managed to get around Wall back
on lap 38 to take over third and fourth places, but they looked to
be too far out of it to make a run in the final laps. Bloomquist was
out to prove the naysayers wrong as he put on a charge in the last
five laps that would give him a shot at the win.
Bloomquist went around Madden on lap 45 as he set his sights on
McDowell. A caution with four laps to go for Casey Roberts bunched
the field for a four-lap shootout to the finish. McDowell was under
constant pressure from Bloomquist as the two went side-by-side
coming off of turn number two. McDowell managed enough momentum to
maintain the lead. As the two drivers took the white flag, McDowell
was a car length ahead of Bloomquist and going into turn number two
he moved up just enough out of the groove to allow Bloomquist room
on the bottom to pull even with him as Bloomquist carried that
momentum as the two were still side-by-side in turn three.
Bloomquist slid up in front of McDowell in turn four and led him on
a drag race down the frontstretch as the two headed to the checkered
flag. Bloomquist got the win by one car length as a stunned crowd
looked on as Bloomquist had recorded another come from behind
victory for his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the
year.
In the Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 20th time in his
Hall of Fame Career, the reigning series champion was out of breath
in his post-race interview. "Well the car was super, it just got
better and better as the race went on, everything went well today
for us, Chris (Madden)is good at this place, we share a lot of
information, if he would have had my tire combination on he would
have won," said the 46-year-old driver who is quickly approaching
500 career wins.
"We had out a Jay Dickens Engine in today, what can I say,
everything went good for us. Dale and I had a great race, we raced
each other clean, before that last caution I was catching them and I
didn't know if the caution was good or bad for us, the car just
fired up real good on the restart, this race track was real good
today, everybody was giving each other room, there was some good
racing going on out there. Dale and I have raced together several
times in the past and it was going to be tough to get around him,"
said the winner who continues to lead the series points standings
heading into the next event on March 27th at Brownstown
(IN) Speedway.
Bloomquist' Jay Dickens Racing Engine powered Bloomquist Race Cars
Monte Carlo SS is sponsored by Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye
Trucking, Sweet Mfg, VP Racing Fuels, Hoosier Tires, Arizona Sport

McDowell in the Clint Bowyer Racing/Dollar General/Warrior Race Cars

Weaver was third in the BKW Disaster, Recovery and Rebuilding/Race

Dickens Racing Engines/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo SS as Madden took
fifth in the Century Plastics/Cornett Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race

Ray Cook Outduels Chris Madden to Win
Spring Thaw Lucas Oil Event at Bulls Gap
BULLS GAP, TN
(March 6, 2010) - Taking the lead on lap 36, Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC
raced to the win on Saturday Night at Volunteer Speedway. Cook outdueled
Chris Madden of Gaffney, SC in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
sanctioned Spring Thaw 60. Cook, along with car owners Danny Dishman and
Ronald Ivey earned $10,000 for their first Lucas Oil Series win of
2010. Trailing Cook and Madden to the checkers were Skip Arp of
Georgetown, TN; Dan Schlieper of Sullivan, WI; and Steve Casebolt of
Richmond, IN.
Arp and Madden earned front row starting spots by virtue of their heat
race victories. Madden sprinted out to the early lead over Arp and
Casebolt. Madden quickly opened up a three-car length advantage over
Arp, who was running his first event of the season. The battle for
third was close with Casebolt, holding off Cook, who had started fifth.
Madden started to pick-up the tail end of the field by lap 11, allowing
the trailing cars of Arp, Casebolt, Cook, and Schlieper to close ground
on him. The race for first was heating up as Cook went by Casebolt for
third on lap 17 and then he tracked down Arp a lap later, going
side-by-side with the veteran.
The first caution of the race came out with 20 laps complete as Mike
Marlar came to a halt on the frontstretch to bring out the yellow. On
lap 20 Cook had made his way around Arp to take over the second spot,
lining up there for the restart. Madden continued to show his strength
on the restart, bolting out to a two-car length lead over Cook. A
caution slowed the action on lap 22 for John Blankenship. The restart
again saw Madden on the point followed by Cook, Arp, Casebolt and
Schlieper.
On this restart Cook was able to stay close to Madden as the two were
running two different lines around the high-banked oval. Cook kept the
pressure on Madden as two again picked up the tail end of the field with
30 laps in the record books. The halfway mark showed the top seven cars
all on the same straightaway. Cook dove low in the corners and took a
peek at Madden several times leading up to his pass on lap 36 which put
him in the lead for good.
Cook and Madden would still have lapped traffic to contend with as they
were having trouble getting by the cars on the tail of the lead lap.
Cook changed his lines several times in closing the door on Madden as
the duo fought a spirited and clean race for the lead. Madden tried the
high line on the track in an attempt to overhaul Cook. Madden tried lap
after lap in the final ten laps, but every time Cook thwarted Madden's
moves as he held him off to take his sixth career Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series win and his first ever at Bulls Gap. The win also moved Cook
into a first-place tie in the Lucas Oil Championship Points standings
with reigning series champion, Scott Bloomquist, who finished sixth.
In the Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time in 2010, Cook thanked a
multitude of people. "It's great to get our first win here at Bulls
Gap, my car owners are from Tennessee, John King from Fairway Ford is
here, thanks to him and Tader Masters for such a great race car, he
(Madden) fired well on the restart, I think our right front tire was
better than his, our car was better on the long runs," said the 38-year
old Cook, who is coming off the best year of his racing career in 2009
when he won 12 feature events including a career-high purse in winning
the Hillbilly 100.
"As far as the points are concerned we are taking them week-to-week, you
never know what could happen tomorrow you might fall out of a race and
drop back in points, we've got an awesome race team, car, engine, tires,
shocks, I mean the whole thing is just clicking right now, I'm just real
fortunate just to be able to drive the car. It's fun when you are
running this well , you just have to enjoy it while you can, cause it
could change the next race, thanks to the fans for coming out tonight,
the show was well run and we're glad to be in victory lane."

powered by Race Engine Design motor and sponsored by Hicks & Ingle Co
General Contracting, PRC, A+ Moving and Storage, American Racer Tires,
Wyatt Builders, Integra Racing Shocks, Star Grafix, PPM, VP Race Fuels,

Madden took second in his Xtreme Custom and Cycles/Cornett
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo SS with Arp finishing third in
his Stanley Best Heating and Air/Vic Hill Racing Engines/GRT.
Completing the top five were Schlieper in his Rockstar Energy Drink/Pro
Power Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion and Casebolt in
the Bob Harris/Dixie Chopper/Rocket GTO.
Rounding out the top ten were Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; Jimmy
Owens of Newport, TN; Stacy Boles of Clinton, TN; Dale McDowell of
Chickamauga, GA; and Eric Wells of Hazard, KY.

Dennis Erb Jr.
Claims 34th Annual DART Winternationals Points Championship
at East Bay Raceway Park
CORONA, CA
(February 12, 2010) - For the sixth consecutive year, the Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series sanctioned the 34th Annual DART
Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL. At the end of the
six days of racing, Dennis Erb Jr. had claimed his second DART
Winternationals Points Championship. The 37-year-old, second generation
racer from Carpentersville, IL earned a check for $5,000 and a nice
trophy for his accomplishments. Erb also won the title back in 2006.
Erb started
all six main events during the week. He recorded two top-five finishes
and six top ten finishes. His average finish was sixth, amongst the
stiff competition that comes to race each year at the "Clay by the
Bay." Erb captured the 2010 title by 50 points over his nearest
competitor, Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN. Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC
was third in the final points followed by Matt Miller of Waterville, OH
and a tie for fifth among Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, IL, Scott Bloomquist
of Mooresburg, TN and Eric Jacobsen of Seacliffe Beach, CA.
After last
Saturday's main event Erb was announced as the weeklong points champion
and was extremely appreciative of winning the title again. "I have to
thank everyone at DART Machinery for this check and trophy. Thanks to
them for helping the racers down here at East Bay, I always enjoy coming
here to race. It gets kind of wild out there sometimes, everybody races
each other hard here and I am glad to come home with the championship at
the end of the week. I want to thank my crew chief, Heather Lyne, my
sponsors, and Lucas Oil for everything they do for the racing industry."
Erb is
currently fifth in the Lucas Oil Championship Points following the reset
in points after East Bay. He plans on competing in the next three Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series events in March as one of the 20 drivers
eligible for the Sunoco Race Fuels "Road to Wheatland" bonus program.
Erb, who has
both a C.J. Rayburn Race Car and a Barry Wright Race Car at his
disposal, drove the Rayburn mount for all six nights of competition at
East Bay. A Vic Hill Racing Engine powers the car. His sponsors are
Thomason Express LLC, Petroff Towing, McBride MACK, PRC, VP Racing
Fuels, Hoosier Racing Tires, Allstar Performance, AFCO Racing Products,
Petersen Aluminum, and Dodd Signs.

Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series Championship Points Reset After East Bay
CORONA, CA (February 10, 2010) - Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series officials have reset and finalized the 2010 Championship
Points after the three events at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL.
After East
Bay, series officials reset the Championship Points Standings so that it
only counts as one race. By doing this, it gives all the drivers a fair
shot at trying to claim the 2010 Championship Points Title at the end of
the year.
How the reset works is that drivers stay in the order they earned as if
we had not reset the points. First through tenth place were reset and
received points as if they have raced only a single event. Drivers
earned eleventh place in points if they raced in all three feature
events that were contested as point earning events. In twelfth place are
drivers who raced in two feature events during any of the three point's
events. Thirteenth place are the drivers who raced in one feature event
on any of the three point's events.
Any driver making an attempt to race all three points nights but did not
advance to the feature received 14th place points. All drivers making an
attempt to race in two of the three point's nights, but did not advance
to the feature received 15th place points. Finally, all drivers making
an attempt at only one of the three points nights, but did not advance
to the feature received 16th place points.
"I want to thank our staff for the great job they did keeping up with
the registration of 6 straight races including the double show on
Saturday. This can become a little hairy at times keeping up with all
the teams coming and going. Some teams are registering for shows in
advance and someone will withdraw and may want to register for a later
event, the list goes on and on," states Ritchie Lewis, Series Director.
The 1st points posting on www.lucasdirt.com after East Bay was sorted by
the excel program in use by alphabetical order instead of by the earned
position order we now have posted.

Don O'Neal
Rallies for Victory in the Final Night of the 34th Annual DART
Winternationals at East Bay
TAMPA, FL
(February 6, 2010) - Taking the lead on lap 40 when race leader Scott
Bloomquist jumped the cushion in turn one, Don O'Neal of Martinsville,
IN led the remaining 35 circuits to win the final night of the 34th
Annual DART Winternationals for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at
East Bay Raceway Park. He earned $12,000 for the win. Dan Schlieper of
Sullivan, WI finished second, followed by Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN;
Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, IL; and Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, WI.
Erb tallied the most DART Winternationals Championship Points for the
week to earn a $5,000 bonus from DART Machinery.
Red Buck
Cigar Fast Qualifier and new track record holder, Chris Wall earned the
pole starting position. Alongside Wall was the Zero machine of Scott
Bloomquist, who was coming off a win in the afternoon event that
preceded the night's finale. Bloomquist stormed to the point from the
drop of the green over Wall, O'Neal and Schlieper. By the seventh lap
Bloomquist had opened up a straightaway lead over the field and he began
approaching the tail end of the field.
Bloomquist
moved into traffic by lap nine. O'Neal was hounding Wall for second as
the two went go side-by-side for a lap until O'Neal made the pass on
Wall for second on the tenth circuit. Justin Rattliff remained in the
thick of things holding the fourth spot followed by tenth place starter,
Mike Marlar; who was on the move as a caution came out for debris on the
track with 14 laps complete. O'Neal got sideways coming out of turn two
on lap 20 as well as Wall, who spun to avoid running into O'Neal. Wall
lost five spots in the running order. Mark Andersen slowed on the
frontstretch with 21 laps complete to bring out caution number three.
Bloomquist
remained in front, followed by O'Neal, Schlieper, Erb and Jimmy Mars.
The top five remained the same until Erb got by Schlieper for third on
lap 28. Erb then slip out of the groove allowing both top five newcomer
Ray Cook and Mars to get by him with 30 laps down. O'Neal was dancing a
treacherous top line around the track and on lap 31 he lost three spots,
falling from second to fifth in a matter of one lap. Up front,
Bloomquist was almost a straightaway ahead of Schlieper, who was now
second with Cook running in third followed by Mars and O'Neal. A red
flag came out with 39 laps complete for a multi-car pileup on the
frontstretch. The incident eliminated the cars of Brady Smith and Ricky
Weiss.
On the
fateful lap 40 restart, Bloomquist headed into turn one and jump the
cushion. Both O'Neal and Schlieper went him as Bloomquist was relegated
to third place. O'Neal pounded the gas with Schlieper in tow. Another
caution waived, this time for Justin Rattliff, who pulled out of the
race. O'Neal jumped at the chance to lead the race; Bloomquist and
Schlieper went at it for second. Bloomquist moved back into the runnerup
slot on lap 44.
O'Neal
stretched his lead to ten car lengths over Bloomquist and Schlieper.
Steve Francis was now in the hunt for the first time in the race. He
finally climbed from his 19th
starting spot to run fourth by lap 46. Cook then rebounded; passed
Francis for fourth. O'Neal was looking solid and was comfortably in
front of Bloomquist when the caution came out for Francis on lap 57. The
top five stayed in that running order as O'Neal looked to be on cruise
control. Following O'Neal was a terrific battle for second between the
cars of Bloomquist, Schlieper and Erb. Bloomquist jumped the cushion in
turns one and two again. Schlieper slipped by him on lap 64. Schlieper
then started to track down O'Neal who had no traffic in front of him,
but Schlieper slowly closed the gap with five laps to go. O'Neal sped on
to pick the big check for his not only his 13th
career win at East Bay, but his 13th
career win on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series tour.
In the Lucas
Oil Victory Lane the 45-year-old racer who has twice finished runner-up
in the Lucas Oil Series; was happy to be there. He thought he had thrown
the chance away when he jumped the cushion back on lap 31. "I thought I
had really messed up there, we had a really good car from the start and
I thought I had lost my chance to win. 75 laps is a lot of laps here,
things can happen so quick here; people come and go to the front so
often that you lose and gain track position all the time. When I saw
Scott jump the cushion up there on that restart, I thought this was my
chance to redeem myself," said O'Neal.
"That cushion
was tough, but after we got out in front I tried to avoid as many of the
rough spots as possible and keep the car straight so we wouldn't lose a
tire out there. Man it feels good to get back to victory lane here at
East Bay, we've always run well here and I have to thank my crew, Tader,
Doug, Mark and Tim for all their help. It's a good win for MasterSbilt
and Jay Dickens," said O'Neal who won before the cameras of SPEED
Channel. SPEED was on hand to film the event to be shown at a later
date.
The rest of
the sponsors on O'Neal's car include; Superior Cleaning, O'Neal Mulch,
Independence Lumber, Jones Core, Hanzo Logistics, Sunoco Race Fuels,
Ohlins Shocks, Budda Bert Transmissions and Brownstown Speedway and
Hoosier Racing Tires.
Schlieper
came across the line in second his Rockstar Energy Drink/DART
Machinery/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion; followed by Bloomquist in
his miller Brothers Construction/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race
Cars Monte Carlo SS. The rest of the top finishers were Erb in his
Thomason Express LLC/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Rayburn Impala SS and Mars
in the Ernie and Connie Davis/Ernie D's/Rocket Impala SS.
Completing
the top ten were Jason Feger of Bloomington, IL who pitted for a flat
tire and returned to finish sixth followed by Steve Francis of Ashland,
KY; Rick Eckert of York, Pa; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; and Earl Pearson
Jr. of Jacksonville, FL.
By virtue of
his fourth place finish, Erb captured the 2010 34th
Annual DART Winternationals Championship. Erb took home a $5,000 check
for his efforts during the week as won by a 55-point margin over O'Neal.

Scott
Bloomquist Leads Team Zero Sweep on Saturday Afternoon at East Bay
DART Winternationals
TAMPA, FL
(February 6, 2010) - Leading all 50 laps, Scott Bloomquist of
Mooresburg, TN held off Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN by two car lengths to
win Saturday afternoon's Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at East
Bay Raceway Park. The $10,000 to win race was washed out on Friday and
rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader of action during the 34th
Annual DART Winternationals. Trailing Bloomquist and Owens to the
finish was Eric Jacobsen of Seacliffe Beach, CA; Billy Moyer of
Batesville, AR; and Rick Eckert of York, PA.
Bloomquist
and Owens started on the front row of the 26 car starting field.
Bloomquist quickly opened up a three-car length advantage over Owens,
current DART Winternationals point's leader Dennis Erb Jr., Shannon
Babb, and Eric Jacobsen. Jacobsen then dueled side-by-side with Babb for
two laps before finally clearing the veteran racer to take over the
fourth position. Just as Bloomquist was picking up the tail end of the
field on the track. The first caution came out for Jimmy Mars, who came
to a halt in the middle of backstretch. Mars was pushed off the track,
becoming the first car out of the event.
On the
restart, Bloomquist held the point as the race went green for a lap
until the next caution came out for Tyler Reddick. The third restart
still had Bloomquist in front, just ahead of Owens, Erb, Jacobsen and
Babb.
The top five
remained the same until Jacobsen was able to make a pass on Erb for
third on lap 21. Owens was able to chase down Bloomquist as the race for
the lead was getting interesting. He pulled even with Bloomquist on a
couple of occasions after lap 23. All that seemed to accomplish was wake
Bloomquist up as he started to open up some distance between himself and
Owens.
On lap 29,
the third and final caution flew for Michael Walker who stopped in turn
one. The final restart had the field line up single file behind
Bloomquist who had led every lap until this point of the race. The trio
of Bloomquist, Owens and Jacobsen continued to show their superiority
pulling away from the rest of the running order with 20 laps to go.
The distance
between the top three was basically even with four-to-five car lengths
separating the trio of Bloomquist, Owens and Jacobsen. Behind those
three was an excellent battle between several drivers as Erb, Babb,
Billy Moyer and Earl Pearson, Jr. were jockeying for a spot in the top
five.
With ten laps
to go, things were looking good for Bloomquist as he was comfortably out
in front of Owens and Jacobsen. With 44 laps down Moyer charged to
fourth in front of Erb, but he was running out of time to catch the cars
in front of him. With five laps remaining, Owens started to pick up the
pace closing the gap on Bloomquist as the fans were anticipating another
close finish like the Wednesday and Thursday Night had provided as Owens
closed to within four lengths of Bloomquist with two to go.
Owens then
reduced the lead to two lengths on the white flag lap as another last
lap charge looked imminent, but Bloomquist got into and out of turn four
with no problems. He held off Owens by two lengths to record his second
victory of the week and his fourth ever at the one-third mile oval.
In the Lucas
Oil Victory Lane for 19th time in his Hall of Fame career, the 2009
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion Bloomquist commented
that the track was a lot racier than he thought it would be, "for a
daytime race it was good, we knew tire selection was going to be
critical. I was just hoping we had made the right choice, Jimmy, I
figured was right there and I guess Eric ended up third, so that makes
us feel good, to win here twice in one week is something we've never
done before an it's a great way to get the season started," said the
46-year-old driver who has seven national touring titles to his credit.
"I have to
thank Bob and Barb Miller for all their support through the years and my
crew did a great job preparing this car we've come awfully close to
winning a third time this week so we'll give it a shot tonight and try
to end the week on a solid note," said Bloomquist, who drives his own
Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo SS powered by a Vic Hill Racing Engine
and sponsored by Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye Trucking, Sweet
Mfg, Ohlins, VP Racing Fuels, Arizona Sport Shirts, Lane Automotive and
Hoosier Racing Tires.
Owens, in the
Reece Monument Company/Cornett Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford
Fusion finished second followed by Jacobsen in his VP Racing Fuels/Bell
Helmets/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo SS. Completing the top five in
the finishing order were 13th
starting Billy Moyer in the Henderson Motorsports/Cornett Racing
Engines/Moyer Victory Circle M1 Ford Mustang GT and Eckert in the J&K
Salvage/Jay Dickens Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Corvette to give
Bloomquist built-cars four of the top five spots.
Completing
the top ten were Dennis Erb, Jr. of Carpentersville, IL. Shannon Babb of
Moweaqua, IL, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL, Brady Smith of Solon
Springs, WI and Tim McCreadie of Watertown, NY.

Earl Pearson Jr. passes Scott Bloomquist to Win DART Winternationals
Event at East Bay on Thursday Night
TAMPA, FL (February 4, 2010) - Taking the lead as he headed to the white
flag, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL passed race-long leader Scott
Bloomquist.The duo battled side-by side, but it was Pearson who went to
win a heart-pounding 40 lap main event. The event marked night four of
the 34th Annual DART Winternationals on Thursday Night at
East Bay Raceway Park. The four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
National Champion earned $10,000 for the win for car owner Bobby
Labonte. Bloomquist finished second followed by Pearson's teammate,
Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY; Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN; and Shannon
Babb of Moweaqua, IL.C
O'Neal and Bloomquist started on the
front row the main event. The event was also taped before the cameras of
the VERSUS Network. Bloomquist took an eight car length advantage early
on over O'Neal and Dennis Erb Jr. The race was going along smoothly
until a multi-car accident in turn four on lap three slowed the field.
On the restart, Bloomquist continued his assault on the field, as
Tuesday Night's winner was looking for his fourth ever win at the
third-mile oval. Bloomquist started to enter lap-traffic by the tenth
lap. Second place running O'Neal could not gain any ground on the race
leader, Bloomquist, who made a swift move in traffic; splitting three
cars; and opened up a straightaway lead over O'Neal by lap 15.
A tight battle for third was going on at
the same time between Schlieper, Erb, and Jimmy Mars. The top five
remained the same in the running order until Pearson climbed into the
top five for the first time on lap 20. With Bloomquist comfortably in
control of the race at the halfway mark of the race, O'Neal continued to
run in second as a three-car battle between Schlieper, Erb and Pearson
ensued. Erb and Pearson went side-by-side for two laps until Pearson
cleared him for fourth on lap 278. Two laps later, Pearson overtook
Schlieper for third.
Pearson then had O'Neal in his sights
making a pass on lap 30 to grab second. Pearson was looking unstoppable
at this point of the race, with ten laps to go, but he had a lot of work
to do as Bloomquist was still well out in front. Pearson caught a break
on lap 31 when Dillan White slowed in turn two bringing out the final
caution of the race. The incident allowed Pearson to restart right on
the bumper of Bloomquist. The two Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
champions had only nine laps to decide the outcome of the race.
Bloomquist, on the restart, maintained
the pace he had set for the entire race. Pearson began to challenge two
laps later, pulling even with the Hall of Famer. Pearson caught
Bloomquist and the two set up a heart-pounding ending, going
side-by-side for most of the final seven laps. Heading to the white flag
lap Pearson went underneath of Bloomquist and took over the lead as the
crowd rose to its feet. Pearson took over the lead in a smooth move
around Bloomquist on the inside. Pearson led Bloomquist out of turn two
down the back stretch as he kept his low line on the track. Bloomquist
made a last-ditch attempt on the outside as the two came to the
checkers. Pearson held off Bloomquist by a mere car length for the win.
Bloomquist, the 2009 Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series National Champion, finished second in his Miller Brothers
Construction/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo
SS; followed by Neat in the Bobby Labonte Racing/Red Buck Cigars/MasterSbilt
Cadillac; O'Neal in the Superior Cleaning/Jay Dickens Racing Engines/MasterSbilt
Monte Carlo SS; and Schlieper in the Rockstar Energy Drink/Pro Power
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion.
Completing the top ten were Shannon Babb
of Moweaqua, IL; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; Dennis Erb Jr. of
Carpentersville, IL; Matt Miller of Waterville, OH; and Jimmy Mars of
Menomonie, WI.
In the Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 18th
time in his career, the former series champion talked about his win
against the reigning series champ. "Man the car was outstanding
tonight, it's great to win here in front of my homestate fans in
Florida. I hoped they enjoyed that race, Scott (Bloomquist) raced me
clean the whole time we were side-by-side. I wasn't sure if I could have
gotten to him without that last caution flag. We restarted real good and
I just drove into the corners as hard as I could to catch up to him,"
said the 38-year-old driver.
"I was able to get under him coming to
the white and I just held him off on the final lap. I have to thank
Bobby (Labonte) he has put a great team around me and Brad (Neat) and it
paid off tonight, he got third and we got the win. Thanks to Jason
Fitzgerald he's back onboard this year as the team manager and Matt and
Devine for their help it was total team effort."

Billy Moyer takes 20th
Career Win at East Bay Raceway Park on Wednesday Night
CORONA, CA (February 3, 2010) - Hall of Famer Billy Moyer of
Batesville, AR claimed his 20th career win at East Bay
Raceway Park on Wednesday Night during the 34th Annual DART
Winternationals. Moyer and Josh Richards of Shinnston, WV exchanged the
lead four times in the final six laps in a stirring race that had the
fans on their feet. Moyer's win was the 718th of his
illustrious career. Moyer managed to hold off Richards with some of the
smoothest driving of his career for the $5,000 win. Shannon Babb of
Moweaqua, IL finished third, followed by Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN
and Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN.
Moyer
and Richards started on the front row of the 30 lap main event. A
multi-car pileup took place in turn two on the initial lap, delaying the
green and ending the night for Chris Wall. On the restart Richards took
the lead followed by Moyer, Babb, Owens, and O'Neal.
Richards stretched his lead to five-car lengths by the fourth lap. Moyer
and Babb raced side-by-side for two laps with Moyer vying to hold off
the high-side charging Babb. Moyer pulled to within a half a car length
at the start-finish line of Richards on lap ten. At the time, Owens
managed to displace Babb for third at the same time. The race for the
lead continued to be heated between Richards and Moyer as they lapped
Brandon Thirlby. Thirlby lost a right front wheel, bringing out the next
caution. The race restarted with Richards in front, with Moyer and Babb
restarting side-by-side.
The
race went green for two laps until Tim Isenberg spun in turn two,
bringing out the final caution on lap 17. This set up a 13 lap final
run for the drivers; Richards led the pack to green for the restart.
Babb jumped back to the topside, squeezing by Moyer to take second place
away from him. Moyer fought back two circuits later to regain the
runner-up spot. Moyer then picked up the pace and began to challenge
Richards in the battle for the lead. Moyer gained ground each lap on
Richards and with six laps to go, the two were dead even for the lead.
Moyer
got by Richards for the lead with five laps to go. However, Richards was
not done; he went to the outside of Moyer to regain the point on lap
27. The duo went at it tooth-and-nail in a clean battle for the lead.
Moyer went underneath Richards and barely got a nose on him as the duo
took the white flag lap.
Moyer
held the lead heading into turn three. Richards made a wide sweep to the
outside and gave it everything his Rocket Chassis had to earn the win,
but Moyer had the momentum off of turn four as the two headed to the
finish line. Moyer won the event by one car length over Richards in an
exciting finish.
Richards was driving the Ernie and Connie Davis/Ernie D's/Rocket Impala
SS; followed by Babb in the Sheltra and Sons Construction/Clements
Racing Engines/Rocket Chassis. Fourth went to O'Neal in Superior
Cleaning/Jay Dickens Racing Engines/MasterSbilt; with Jimmy Owens
winding up fifth in the Reece Monument Company/Cornett Racing
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford.
In
the Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Moyer had a wide smile as he exited his car
to the cheering fans that quite possibly saw one of his last appearances
in victory lane at East Bay. Moyer picked up his 20th career
win at the "Clay by the Bay". "Retirement is a lot closer than people
think, "said the 52-year-old dirt racing superstar. "That was a heck of
a good race out there with Josh, he raced me clean and I gave him room
as well, the track was excellent tonight as I had said earlier. I've got
to thank Leon Henderson for getting me down here, we weren't going to
come as of the first of the year, but he called and we got this deal
together and I am glad to get this win for him.
also thanks to the fans
for coming out here tonight I am sure that was exciting for them to
watch," said Moyer who recorded his 13th career win on the
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series tour.
Moyer's Henderson Motorsports entry is sponsored by L&D Trucking/Cooley
Transport/Banner Valley Hauling/Sunoco Race Fuels/Redline Oil/PRC/New
Vision Graphics and Watters Auto Land. The Moyer Victory Circle M1
Chassis Ford Mustang GT is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine.

Waterville, OH; Dan Schlieper of Sullivan, WI; and Ray Cook of Brasstown,
NC.
Bloomquist started on the front row alongside of 12-time East Bay
winner, Don O'Neal. Bloomquist jumped to the point, with O'Neal running
second, followed by Eric Jacobsen, and Tim Isenberg. By the fourth lap,
Bloomquist was already up to a six-car length advantage over the field
as he made quick work of the field early on. Jacobsen maintained his
second spot until lap eight when he and O'Neal go together after both
had slowed.
Jacobsen was forced to leave the race with a damaged car; O'Neal
continued in the second spot. O'Neal managed only one green flag until
he drifted up the race track in turn two, ultimately ending his night.
On the restart Bloomquist remained strong as he now had Erb behind him
in second followed by Isenberg who was enjoying a solid performance.
Miller started to make his way towards the front, gaining the third spot
on lap ten as he brought Josh Richards and Austin Hubbard with him into
the top five. Richards stayed in front until he had problems in turn
two, forcing him to slow. Richards restarted on the tail of the field.
Again Bloomquist flexed his muscle on the restart, pulling away from Erb
when the final caution flew for Tim McCreadie on lap 20. With ten green
flag laps awaiting the field, there would be no more cautions the
remainder of the way. Bloomquist continued to dominate just as he had
done the entire race.
Erb finished second in his Thomason Express LLC/Vic Hill Racing
Engines/Rayburn Impala SS; followed by Miller in the Moring
Motorsports/Freeport Recycling/MasterSbilt. Completing the top five
were 18th starting Dan Schlieper in the Rockstar Energy Drink/Pro Power
Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Ford Fusion; and Ray Cook in the Hicks and
Ingle Co. General Contracting/Race Engine Design/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo
SS.
In the Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Bloomquist talked about his dominating
performance on Tuesday Night. "We just kicked everybody's butt tonight,
we are on top of our game right now, and we are looking forward to a big
year, we ran well at Golden Isles and to come here a track we have
struggled at in the past it feels real good to out there and do what we
did tonight," said the 46 year old Bloomquist who owns seven national
touring titles in his career including last years' Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series Championship.
"I wish my family was here to see this, Bob and Barb Miller they will be
down later in the week, the car was outstanding and we had no problems,"
said Bloomquist who set fast time in the Red Buck Cigar Time Trials
despite being the final qualifier.
Bloomquist drives his own self-designed Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo
SS powered by a Vic Hill Racing Engine. His sponsors include Miller
Brothers Construction/Hawkeye Trucking/Sweet Manufacturing/Hoosier
Tires/VP Racing Fuels/Lane Automotive and Arizona Sport Shirts.

Mike Marlar Wins First Ever East Bay Raceway Park on Opening Night of
DART Winternationals
TAMPA, FL (February 1, 2010) - Driving a car that had not been on
the race track in over a year, Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN led all
30 laps on the opening night of the 34th Annual DART
Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park. Marlar's storybook win
was worth $5,000 for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
victory since 2004. Trailing Marlar to the finish line was
polesitter Tim McCreadie of Watertown, NY; Ray Cook of Brasstown
,NC; Tim Dohm of Cross Lanes, WV; and Josh Richards of Shinnston,
WV.
Marlar started alongside McCreadie on the front row of the 30 lap
main event. He got the jump on McCreadie, beating him into the first
turn to take the lead. While the drivers were setting a rapid pace
around the "Clay by the Bay" Jason Feger; in his first ever
appearance at East Bay; came to a halt on the backstretch for the
first caution of the race.
On the restart, Marlar was still showing the way followed by
McCreadie, Cook, Eric Jacobsen and Chris Wall. Marlar quickly built
his lead over McCreadie, opening up a four-car length advantage with
eight laps scored. The second caution of the new came out for a
slowing Tyler Reddick on lap nine.
After the yellow for Reddick, Marlar again opened his lead on the
restart as Josh Richards moved into the top five for the first time
on lap ten. Richards, who won three times a year ago, was making
his way from the eighth starting spot. With 15 laps to go, Marlar
was still in front holding his line around the track as McCreadie
was slowly but surely cutting down his lead with ten to go. With
nine laps to go the third and final caution came out for a slowing
Justin Rattliff who had a flat tire. Rattliff headed to the pits
out of the race. Along with Rattliff, Dan Stone suffered the same
fate with a flat tire which knocked him out of contention.
On the final restart of the race, with nine laps to go, Marlar led
the field to the green flag with McCreadie hot on his heels.
McCreadie dove down low heading into the fourth turn as he kept a
close grip on Marlar's #34. Marlar never slipped up in the final
circuits as he held off McCreadie to the checkers to score his first
ever win at East Bay and his first Lucas Oil Series since winning
the Hillbilly 100 at Tyler County Speedway in West Virginia in 2004.
McCreadie; who missed last year's Winternationals due to his
injuries at the Chili Bowl a year ago; crossed the line in second in
the Sweeteners Plus/pro Power Engines/Rocket followed Cook in the
D&R Racing/Race Engine Design/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo SS. Dohm took
fourth in the Seymour Motorsports/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Rocket
Impala SS with Richards taking fifth in the Ernie and Connie
Davis/Cornett Engines/Rocket Impala SS.
Completing the top ten were Eric Jacobsen of Seacliffe Beach, CA,
Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN, Matt Miller of Waterville, OH,
Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, IL and Shannon Babb of Moweaqua,
IL.
In the Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Marlar became emotional when talking
about his former car owner Owen Stephens, who passed away a few
years ago. "I know he was looking down on us tonight, we all miss
him and thanks to his wife Mary Lu Stephens for letting me drive the
car, we just started working on this car a few weeks ago after it
had been sitting around for a year since the last time we raced it
here. I have to thank all the crew guys, my Crew Chief Michael
Coffey, and everybody who helped on the car. It feels great to win
here at East Bay and thanks to C.J. Rayburn, I know he will be happy
about this and Estes Racing Engines, we had more than enough power
and when you can beat someone like Tim McCreadie then you have to be
pleased with that," said Marlar who will marry his long-time
girlfriend Stacy at the end of the month.
The number 34 is sponsored by Stephens Trucking/S&B Cattle Company
and VP Racing Fuels.

Dirt Series and Lucas Oil Products have revamped the logo for the

really like the new logo, we went through multiple design proposals,
before finally getting one that fits the new image of the LOLMDS and

DART Fast Pass Adds Fast-Time Provisional to 34th Annual
DART Winternationals
Corona, CA (January 13, 2010) - Officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series and DART Machinery have announced that there will be an
extra provisional for the six nights of the 34th Annual
DART Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL. The
decision comes as DART Machinery steps up their support of the LOLMDS

position will add an additional starting spot in each feature
throughout the week, bringing the total number of starting spots to
twenty-six.
In years past at the DART Winternationals have only started 25 cars,
including the winner of the PRC Strawberry Dash. But, in 2010, the 25th
starting position of each main event will be the DART Fast Pass, given
each night to the fastest qualifier that did not earn a starting
position in the feature. The DART Fast Pass provisional is a
points-paying provisional, allowing the recipient to earn Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series National Championship Points during the final
three nights of the DART Winternationals. Following the 25th
starting position, will be the winner of the PRC Strawberry dash as
the last-place starting-position in the feature.
During the first three nights of the 34th Annual DART
Winternationals, the LOLMDS will race to 24 starting positions,
followed by the DART Fast Pass recipient and the PRC Strawberry Dash
winner. During the final three nights will race to 22 starting
positions, followed by the two series provisionals, the DART Fast Pass
recipient, and the PRC Strawberry Dash winner. "We have always valued
our relationship with DART Machinery, and are excited to see them
step-up in such a big way with the DART WInternationals and now with
the DART Fast Pass," stated Series Director, Ritchie Lewis, "it just
goes to show how much DART Machinery gives back to the sport, to those
that support them week-in and week-out."

Dale McDowell Looks
Forward to 2010 and Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Championship Title Run
By James Essex (December
22, 2009) – In 2009 veteran driver Dale McDowell returned to the road in
following the full Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule. The final
summation showed two series wins, 14 top five finishes and 26 top ten finishes
on his way to a fourth-place finish in the championship point’s standings.
But McDowell has his goals
already set for 2010, to build on his ’09 campaign, to have even better
chemistry with his crew, more races with the experimental Earnhardt-Childress
Engines he will be running and give car owner, NASCAR Cup driver Clint Bowyer
his first touring title in dirt late model racing.
With McDowell returning to
the road for the first time since 2006, he realized it would be tough at times
adjusting to life on the road with a new team, crew and car owner after years
of traveling with his brother, Shane.
McDowell’s credentials are
many and when he hooked up with Bowyer, the 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series
Champion who had Shannon Babb behind the wheel for his debut as a late model
car owner in ’08 it appeared the team could make an immediate impact on the
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.
In fact McDowell ran has
high as second in the points taking two series wins (Paducah and Bulls Gap)
before winding up fourth in a season that saw him take 12 top ten finishes in
13 races the mid-point of the season to keep him in the hunt for the
championship.
“Scott (Bloomquist) did an
awesome job this year-with the depth of his team, knowing his program like he
does and his good finishes, he was always there at the end and he did what you
have to do to win these championships,” said McDowell who has a national
touring championship on his resume’ winning the Hav-A-Tampa title in 1999.
“It was a learning year
for us after being off the road for a couple of years,” said the 43-year-old
driver who looks forward to running the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series again
in 2010. “The Goddard-Warrior cars were real good, we started with the Custom
Race Engines and we had no mechanical failures all year and then we began
running the ECR Engines and won three races towards the end of the year in
non-Lucas Oil events.”
“We need to improve at
those five or six track we struggled at this year, we took thorough notes,
there were at least two tracks off the top of my head we completely missed on
the set-up and struggled mightily, but another year with Tommy Grecco and
Caleb Baker, we feel our communications will be better in me telling them what
the car is doing and they can relate to me better what they see from their
vantage point,” said McDowell.
“Quite honestly we had a
lot of fun back racing on the road this year, we are just going to sit down
and see what we need to work on as a team standpoint, Clint’s really happy
with everything that’s going on, he’s hands on, you’ll come into the shop one
day and he’ll be hanging a body on one of our cars, he’s brought along
sponsors like Dollar General, General Mills and Cheerios this year to really
help out, it sure is nice having someone else pay the bills after having to do
it myself for so many years,” said McDowell.
The biggest news for 2010
for McDowell and Bowyer is the announcement the team will be running the
Earnhardt and Childress Racing Engines. “We’ve decided that’s the direction
we are going, again with Clint’s involvement at Richard Childress it was just
a good fit for us as a team to go this route, we’ve done some R&D testing late
this year with Lanny Barnes at the engine shop he has a lot of good people to
service the engines, we are fortunate that he close by and we think the
benefits will pay off.”
McDowell
debuted the ECR Racing Engine at the Dirt Track
World Championship Race in October at Lawrenceburg, IN and finished 13th
in the final rundown. He then went on to win two $10,000 races over the last
month of the season to close it out on a solid note which McDowell hopes sets
the tone for 2010.

Portsmouth Raceway Park Marks 20th Anniversary with Pepsi
75
CORONA, CA (December
17, 2009) - Known to fans near and far as one of the raciest
speed-plants in Ohio, Portsmouth Raceway Park has become a fixture on
the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Tour. The event originally
scheduled as a one-day $10,000 to win 50 lap race, will now become the
two-day Pepsi 75, paying $20,000 to win for the 75 lap main event.
Promoters Donna Rayburn
and Chuck Greenslate along with Owner Tim Coleman have decided to make
the one day event scheduled for September 4th, 2010, a
two-day special event to be ran on September 3rd and 4th
as the Pepsi 75. This event will be the biggest race in the tracks
history, as the stars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series invade PRP
for the special 20th Anniversary event.
"The fans have been
asking for a big two-day show for years, and we decided that there is
just no better year to have the event, than the 20th
Anniversary of the track. It is just the right time to host the $20,000
to win two-day event," exclaimed Promoter Donna Rayburn, "I think the
Lucas Oil Series is the premier series in the country right now, and
there was no question that we wanted them to sanction the event; the
organization that the Lucas Series has in place is just second to none."
Along with the loyal
fans that come out in support of the LOLMDS event each year, the event
will be shot in High-Definition once again in front of the cameras of
SPEED Channel, to air at a later date.
Last year, it was Jimmy
Owens of Newport, TN who pulled away on lap 20 from a four car battle
for the lead, going on to score his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series win of the season at Portsmouth Raceway Park in capturing the
main event. Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA finished second, followed
by 22nd starting Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN, Eddie
Carrier Jr. of Salt Rock, WV, and Don O'Neal of Martinsville, IN. With
more cash up for grabs in 2010, Owens will have to work even harder to
defend his victory in the '09 event.
