Rossburg, OH --- For dirt Late Model racers wanting to gain some ‘dream’ insight and knowledge they will have a chance on Thursday June 7 during the ‘Dream Week’ at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, OH when the ‘Dream Racers’ Chassis Seminar’ is held with special guests Scott Bloomquist, Chub Frank and Mark Richards. The ‘Dream Racers’ Chassis Seminar’ will be held to benefit the family of Doc & Carol Lehman and the Brianne (Lehman) Tuttle Medical Fund. Racers and crewmembers will be able to access knowledge from three of the industry’s top manufacturers and drivers. The seminar will be held from 1:00 – 4:00 PM EST at the Eldora Ballroom.

“This is for Doc, and Doc has been a mainstay in dirt Late Model, and any kind of racing really,” commented Chub Frank. “When one of us is down somebody always helps. We had people help us when we had our fire and Doc has helped me out all through the years. Anything I can do to help him out we are definitely willing to do that. I think it will be fun for whoever signs up for it. You aren’t going to get Scott, Mark and myself all together and hey, it could get interesting! There is quite a bit of knowledge in that room and any question goes!”

Sandwiched on Thursday afternoon between the Nextel Prelude to the Dream presented by Old Spice on Wednesday June 6 and the $100,000 to win Dirt Late Model Dream on Friday & Saturday June 8-9, drivers and crewmembers will have a ‘Dream’ chance to ask the best in the business questions on set-ups, car handling, driving techniques, shocks, springs, front suspension geometry, rear suspension geometry and much more.

Among those participating is former World 100 and defending The Dream winner Scott Bloomquist, former World 100 winner Chub Frank, and Rocket Chassis’ Mark Richards. There is also a possibility of a ‘surprise’ guest that may be on hand.

Late last summer Doc Lehman suffered his third major heart attack and subsequently had open heart surgery and five bypasses that left him and his family with a substantial debt. Brianne is the daughter of Doc Lehman, who underwent open heart and lung surgery and an additional eight surgeries in recent months. She spent over a month on full life support and underwent several life-threatening procedures. She spent a total of 74 days hospitalized. She is the mother of two young boys, ages 3 & 6. Doc & Carol have assumed helping Brianne with her aftercare in addition to tending to her needs at home.

“This is a great opportunity for someone to gain some valuable insight on dirt Late Models in general from three of the best in the business and at the same time give back to someone who has given his life to dirt racing,” said Dave Seay, who is helping to organize the benefit with Mark Richards and Mike Farr.

All proceeds will benefit the Lehman family and the Brianne (Lehman) Tuttle Medical Fund to help the family with the enormous expenses they have incurred since last summer and the aftercare expenses they now face.
