(SULLIVAN, WISCONSIN) Dan Schlieper and his #s9 Rockstar Energy Drink team visited victory lane for the first time in 2010 on Saturday night, July 31 at the legendary Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, Maryland! Dan qualified well and later won his heat race in preliminary action to earn the pole position for the 50-lap Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series main event. The Sullivan, Wisconsin driver fell back to third early in the race, but got up on the wheel following a lap fourteen restart and eventually wrestled the top spot away from leader Don O'Neal on the sixteenth circuit. Dan then kept the stout field at bay throughout the remainder of the race to pocket the $10,000 payday ahead of Don O'Neal, Dan Stone, Scott Bloomquist, and John Blankenship!
Earlier in the week, the Dan Schlieper Racing team competed in a pair of $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series showdowns in the Empire State of New York. On Tuesday, Dan finished twenty-first after slapping the wall early in the feature at the Fonda Speedway in Fonda, New York. The driver known as the "Wisconsin Wildman" also netted a fourteenth place finish in the 50-lap A-Main on Thursday at the Utica Rome Speedway in Vernon, New York. Dan still finds himself ninth in the latest version of the LOLMDS point standings following the East Coast swing. Complete results from all three programs can be found online at www.lucasdirt.com.
"It feels really good to get that monkey off of our back and get into victory lane," quoted Schlieper earlier this week via telephone. "We have been close on a couple of different occasions this year, but the car was just perfect on Saturday at Hagerstown. I guess I went a little softer on tires than everybody did in the feature, but it was the right decision and they really fired well on that lap fourteen restart. I have to thank everyone associated with my racing program including Rockstar Energy Drink, DART Machinery, Pro Power Racing Engines, Bloomquist Race Cars, Uncle Buck, Mr. Bill, all of my product sponsors, and of course my crew headed by Jason Palubicki."
The #s9 team will look for additional success this upcoming weekend (August 6-7) at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin. The World of Outlaws Late Model Series will sanction the annual running of the 'USA Nationals,' which boasts a hefty $50,000 top prize. Qualifying and heat race action for the two-day extravaganza will take place on Friday night, while the consolation races and 100-lap 'USA Nationals' will headline the weekend on Saturday evening. Dan has competed in ten 'USA Nationals' feature events during his illustrious career and has finished as high as second back in 2000 behind winner Davey Johnson.
