Schlieper Closes Out 2011 Season at World
Finals
After
over a month away from the racetrack, Dan Schlieper Racing returned
to action from November 3-5 at the immaculate Dirt Track at Charlotte
in Concord, North Carolina. The 5th Annual 'Lowes Foods World Finals'
took place at the 4/10-mile speedplant over the weekend and a pair
of $10,000 top prizes were on the line. During World of Outlaws Late
Model Series qualifying on Thursday night, Dan Schlieper timed in
thirty-ninth fastest for Friday's show and fifty-third quickest for
Saturday's program.
While Dan ran strong throughout the weekend, he was
not able to overcome his qualifying times from Thursday and unfortunately
missed out on both 50-lap feature events. On Friday, Dan ran sixth
in his heat race and seventh in his B-Main, while he wound up seventh
in his heat race and fifth in his B-Main on Saturday. Full results

to transfer into the $40,000 to win 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville
Nationals.' Unfortunately, the Sullivan, Wisconsin ace suffered mechanical
problems during the consolation race and wound up twenty-fourth, which

Two More Lucas Oil Races for #s9 Team
this Week
The
Dan Schlieper Racing (DSR) team continued on with the Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series for two more races in the states of Tennessee and
Indiana on August 25-26. On Thursday night at the ultra-fast Volunteer
Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee, Dan Schlieper ran fifth in his loaded
heat race and later won his B-Main. After starting eighteenth on the
grid in the $10,000 to win 'Scorcher' main event, Dan rallied past
four racecars en route to a fourteenth place performance.
The dirt-slinging action quickly turned north to the
Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana on Friday evening for
another $10,000 to win LOLMDS showdown. Dan grabbed the fourth and
final transfer spot through his heat race and later started fifteenth
in the 50-lap feature event. In front of the SPEED Channel cameras
in the A-Main, the Sullivan, Wisconsin ace was unfortunately squeezed
up into the wall on the second circuit, which ended his night prematurely
and relegated him to a twenty-fifth place finish. Full results from
the doubleheader weekend can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.
