OCTOBER 9, 2011
The
Iron Motorsports team and driver Jeep Van Wormer closed
out their version of the 2011 season victoriously, as
they claimed a big win in the annual 'UMP Nationals' at
the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio over the October
7-8 weekend! On Friday night, Jeep laid down the third
fastest lap in his group during the qualifying session,
which locked him into the outside of the front row for
Saturday's heat race.
Jeep went on to win his heat race in preliminary action
on Saturday to become the outside polesitter in the 40-lap
'UMP Nationals.' The Pinconning, Michigan ace was on the
gas early in the race and grabbed the top spot immediately.
Jeep then stayed out in front of the strong field from
flag-to-flag en route to the popular $5,000 triumph over
Frank Heckenast, Jr., Jason Feger, Kevin Cole, and Ryan
Unzicker. Full results from the season finale for the
#55 team can be viewed by logging onto www.eldoraspeedway.com. |

OCTOBER 6, 2011
After
spending the past several weekends away from the racetrack,
Jeep Van Wormer and the Iron Motorsports team will conclude
their 2011 racing season this upcoming weekend (October
7-8) at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. Jeep's
last event was nearly a month ago when he finished a strong
eighth in the $44,000 to win 'World 100' at the "Big
E." The Pinconning, Michigan ace will be looking
to put an exclamation mark on his '11 campaign in the
annual running of the 'UMP Nationals' this weekend.
The two-day UMP DIRTcar Series showdown at Eldora will
get started with Late Model qualifying on Friday night.
Heat races, consolation events, and the 40-lap main event
will then headline the weekend on Saturday evening. The
winner of the 'UMP Nationals' will receive $5,000 for
their efforts. Additional information concerning the final
race of the season for the #55 team can be located online
at www.eldoraspeedway.com.
"Hopefully, we go out with a bang this weekend at
Eldora," exclaimed Jeep when speaking about his season
finale. "We haven't raced a lot the last couple of
months due to work commitments, but it would sure be sweet
to end our year with a big win. Our car has been really
good at Eldora in the big races this year and hopefully
that continues during the UMP Nationals!" |

SEPTEMBER
12, 2011
Jeep
Van Wormer and the #55 Iron Motorsports team returned
to action on September 9-10 at the famed Eldora Speedway
in Rossburg, Ohio. The 41st Annual 'World 100' was held
at the "Big E" over the weekend and a whopping
$44,000 top prize was on the line. On Friday night, Jeep
laid down the tenth fastest lap of the 112 entrants during
the two-lap qualifying session.
When the action heated back up at the "Big E"
on Saturday evening, Jeep ran second in his loaded heat
race, which locked him into the outside of the fifth row
in the 'World 100.' The Pinconning, Michigan native, who
was aboard his special white/blue September 11, 2001 themed
paint scheme that received the Best Appearing Car Award,
was fast from the drop of the green flag. Jeep got up
to the sixth spot during the 100-lapper and had his sights
set on a strong top five finish. However, after a couple
of mid-race restarts, his tires sealed over and never
came fully back to life and Jeep slipped back to a solid
eighth place finish. Full results from Eldora can be accessed
online at www.eldoraspeedway.com. |
