Dan Schlieper Competes in Huge Week at
Lowe's to Wrap-Up 2008 Season!
Dan
Schlieper and his #9 Dirt Late Model team traveled to the state-of-the-art
Dirt Track at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina
last week (October 29-November 1) for a trio of high-profile World
of Outlaws Late Model Series shows to close out their 2008 season.
The tripleheader kicked off on Wednesday with the $10,000 to win 'Armour
Vienna Sausage Showdown' at the 4/10-mile, Charlotte-area venue. Dan
transferred into the 50-lap main event by finishing second in his
B-Main. After rolling off from the inside of the twelfth row in the
topless 'Armour Vienna Sausage Showdown,' the Sullivan, Wisconsin
native worked his way past nine competitors en route to a fourteenth
place effort.
The 'VAULT World Finals' then took center stage at Lowe's from Thursday
through Saturday. After a night of qualifying on Thursday, Dan unfortunately
failed to make the starting grid for Friday's $10,000 to win A-Main
following sixth and fourth place finishes in his heat race and B-Main
respectively. Things got much better for the #9 team in Saturday's
finale at Lowe's, which was held in front of a huge crowd and a live
SPEED Channel audience. Dan ran third in his competitive heat race
and later wound up twenty-first in the final rundown of the $10,000
to win, 50-lap feature event. You can view complete results, along

Schlieper Travels to Lowe's this Week
for Four-Day Showdown!
After
taking the October 24-25 weekend off from Dirt Late Model competition,
the Dan Schlieper Racing team will return to dirt-slinging action
this week at the Dirt Track at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord,
North Carolina. The state-of-the-art facility will play host to a
huge four-day, World of Outlaws Late Model Series extravaganza starting
tonight, October 29 and concluding on Saturday night, November 1.
The rain-postponed 'Armour Vienna Sausage Showdown' will kick-off
the week tonight, as the topless race offers a unique passing bonus
that could push the first-place prize of the 50-lap A-Main to as much
as $30,000.
The 'VAULT World Finals' will then take center stage for the rest
of the week at Lowe's. Qualifying will take place on Thursday night
at the 4/10-mile oval, which will set the heat race lineups for both
the Friday and Saturday shows. The 'VAULT World Finals' is headlined
by a pair of $10,000 to win, 50-lap main events on Friday and Saturday,
with the weekend finale being broadcast LIVE on the SPEED Channel.
Be sure to tune in Saturday night, November 1 to the SPEED network,
as the dirt will start flying at 8:00 p.m. EST. For additional information

Dan Schlieper Racing in Action During DTWC Weekend!
Dan Schlieper and his #9 Dirt
Late Model team invaded Jim Nier's K-C
Raceway in Chillicothe, Ohio last weekend (October 17-18) for the
28th edition of the 'Dirt Track World Championship.' On Friday night,
October 17, Dan laid down the fourth fastest lap in his group during
qualifying and later ran third in his competitive heat race to transfer
into the $50,000 to win main event on Saturday evening. When the dirt-slinging
action heated back up on Saturday in the 100-lap DTWC, Dan started
fourteenth on the grid and drove his familiar #9 entry to a twenty-first
place finish in the crown jewel event. You can access complete results,
plus video coverage, online at www.dirtondirt.com.
