Jeep Van Wormer Wraps Up 2010 Campaign with World Finals at Charlotte!

(PINCONNING, MICHIGAN) The Iron Motorsports team and driver Jeep Van Wormer concluded their 2010 racing season from November 4-6 at the state-of-the-art Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, North Carolina. The Lowes Foods World of Outlaws 'World Finals' took place over the weekend at the 4/10-mile speedplant and a pair of $10,000 top prizes were up for grabs. On Thursday's qualifying night, Jeep timed in fiftieth fastest in the first round of time trials, while he improved to thirty-ninth quickest in the second round.

When inclement weather invaded the Charlotte area on Friday, the 'World Finals' opener was pushed back to Saturday afternoon. Jeep ran fourth in his stacked heat race during the daytime show and later grabbed the second and final transfer spot in his B-Main. After rolling off twenty-second on the grid in the 40-lap feature event, the Pinconning, Michigan native worked his way past six racecars before landing a sixteenth place finish.

In the nightcap on Saturday evening, a huge crowd of over 14,000 spectators packed into the grandstand and a huge television audience witnessed the program live on the SPEED Channel. Jeep worked his way up to third in heat race action, which transferred him directly into the 50-lap main event. After experiencing a rocker arm issue during the preliminary event, the #55 team unloaded the back-up car prior to the A-Main. He started at the tail end of the stout field and was involved in a couple of early incidents before finishing in the twenty-second position. Full results from the 'World Finals' weekend can be located online at www.worldofoutlaws.com.

Jeep and his #55 team entered sixty-three Dirt Late Model events during the course of their 2010 campaign and amassed ten victories, thirty-one Top Five finishes, and forty Top Ten performances. On the UMP Summer Nationals trail, Jeep accumulated four wins, fifteen Top Fives, and nineteen Top Tens in the twenty-eight series races held in 2010.
