Jeep Van Wormer Heads Back Out on UMP Summer Nationals Tour this Weekend!
(PINCONNING, MICHIGAN) The Iron Motorsports team stayed out on the road on the UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals circuit last week (June 16-21) in the states of Illinois, Tennessee, and Indiana. With Mother Nature dominating throughout the week, Jeep Van Wormer was only able to enter a trio of Summer Nationals events.
However, the Pinconning, Michigan native did record his sixth victory of the 2009 racing season in exciting fashion on Sunday night, June 21 at the Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana. After winning his heat race, Jeep and Shannon Babb put on a terrific show for the lead in the first twenty laps of the A-Main before Jeep went on to capture the $6,000 triumph over Rodney Melvin, Randy Korte, Scott James, and Jason Feger.
Earlier in the week, Jeep finished sixth in a $6,000 to win show at the tiny Belle Clair Speedway in Belleville, Illinois on Wednesday, June 17 after starting in the thirteenth position. The long week out on the road was not full of positives; however, as Jeep unfortunately failed to transfer into the $10,000 to win feature event at the Clarksville Speedway in Clarksville, Tennessee on Saturday evening, June 20. You can view complete results from the "Hell Tour" by accessing www.dirtondirt.com.
"It was great to win the other night at Haubstadt, but I would have loved to have raced Shannon (Babb) the entire forty laps," commented Van Wormer this week. "We raced each other very hard and clean for the lead and that had to have been a great show for the fans. We had some generator issues and torn up racecars following Haubstadt, so we decided it would be beneficial to head home for a few days to regroup a little. I am looking forward to getting back at it again on Friday at Paducah though!"
UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
June 26 | Paducah (KY) Int'l Raceway, UMP SN | $10,000 to win
June 27 | Fairbury (IL) A.L. Speedway, UMP SN | $10,000 to win
June 28 | Lincoln (IL) Speedway, UMP SN | $6,000 to win
