Jeep Van Wormer Targets Eldora this Weekend Following Hartford and Florence
(PINCONNING, MICHIGAN) Jeep Van Wormer and his #55 team closed out the busy month of May with a pair of Dirt Late Model events in the states of Michigan and Kentucky. On Friday night, May 29, the Hartford Motor Speedway in Hartford, Michigan played host to a $5,000 to win O'Reilly All Star Late Model Series (ASLMS) show. Jeep ran fourth in heat race action and was on the move early in the 40-lap main event. He was up inside of the top five when another competitor wrecked in front of him, leaving the Pinconning, Michigan native nowhere to go. Jeep unfortunately made heavy contact with the spinning racecar and the damage inflicted to his #55 caused him to retire from the race in the twenty-first position.
A day later, the Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky played host to another pivotal Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event. The annual 'Ralph Latham Memorial' was held at the Cincinnati area venue and a $10,000 top prize was up for grabs. Jeep ran eighth in his competitive heat race, but got up on the wheel to win his B-Main. After starting seventeenth on the grid in the 50-lap A-Main, Jeep was able to work his way by a couple of cars en route to a fifteenth place performance. He now finds himself twelfth in the latest version of the LOLMDS point standings. You can view complete results from both races online at www.dirtondirt.com.
The #55 squad will now focus their attention on the highest paying Dirt Late Model race of the year. The famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio will hold the 15th Annual 'Dream 100' on Friday and Saturday, June 5-6. The winner of the 100-lap crown jewel event on Saturday evening will pocket $100,000. Jeep has made five 'Dream 100' starts in his career, with his best finish being a tenth place effort back in 2003.

Be sure to visit Jeep's souvenir trailer on souvenir row throughout the 'Dream 100' weekend at Eldora to pick up the latest #55 swag. Jeep will be driving his all-gray Spider car from last year's 'World 100' and will have diecast replica cars to match at the souvenir trailer. These diecast cars will be sold exclusively at the souvenir trailer and will not last long!
