Jeep Van Wormer Notches Pair of Top Tens to Close Out Season at Lowes

(PINCONNING, MICHIGAN) Jeep Van Wormer and his #55 Dirt Late Model team closed out their version of the 2009 racing season last week (November 4-7) at the pristine Dirt Track at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The World of Outlaws Late Model Series sanctioned a trio of races at the Charlotte area venue last week and a $10,000 top prize was up for grabs in each race. With over 80 race teams in attendance, Jeep was able to transfer into the feature event on two different occasions and wound up with a pair of top ten performances.

The Pinconning, Michigan native finished ninth in the 'Topless Showdown' on Thursday after starting from the outside of the third row and later ran seventh in night one of the 'World Finals' on Friday after passing eight cars during the 50-lapper. Unfortunately, Jeep was unable to make the starting field for the 'World Finals' finale on Saturday at Lowe's after finishing tenth in his heat race and sixth in his B-Main.
