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."
