Dale McDowell Streaks to Scorcher Win at Volunteer

by Ben Shelton
WELCOME, North Carolina (August 26) – Dale McDowell piloted his #17m TDR/Warrior/ECR Racing Engine Super Late Model to the $10,000 win on Thursday night in the Scorcher at Volunteer Speedway.

It was back to business on Thursday night for Dale McDowell and Team Dillon Racing. Volunteer Speedway (Bulls Gap, Tennessee) was the destination for a $10,000-to-win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) program.

Twenty-seven Super Late Models filled the pit area at the lightning fast 4/10 mile oval. Dale timed in fifth fastest overall during qualifications, positioning him starting second in his heat race. McDowell stormed to the heat race win over Chris Madden, earning him the outside-front-row starting spot for the 50 lap finale, alongside Scott Bloomquist.

Bloomquist assumed the point at the drop of the green flag, but slowed in turn four with just two laps scored, causing a multi-car wreck behind him. With only minor damage to his #17m, McDowell then inherited the top spot, and went unchallenged for the next 48 circuits to take the checkered flag ahead of Mike Marlar, John Blankenship, Bloomquist, and Jared Landers.  The victory marked his seventh of 2014.

“Our night didn’t start off so well, but we made some changes and the car was fast all night after that," said McDowell following his first LOLMDS victory since September 4th, 2010 at Portsmouth Raceway Park (Portsmouth, Ohio).

“I want to thank everyone with Team Dillon Racing, my brother Shane, and everybody else on the crew. This Warrior Race Car handled so well tonight. The track was in really good shape; fortunately we didn’t encounter any lapped traffic tonight. It feels good to be back in Lucas Oil Victory Lane, it has been a while," he added.

The team will not race anywhere this weekend as McDowell turns his attention to the 44th Annual World 100 at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio), which will be held September 4th-6th at the famed oval.  McDowell will pursue his second-career title in the mega event.
