Hess ready to race in the tri-state area after a strong showing in Florida during the DIRTcar Nationals
March 9, 2010- (Waterford, PA) - Dave Hess Jr., is starting his 2010 campaign in the North-East and he’s starting as a champion. Hess won two features and put together a string of excellent finishes on his way to becoming the UNOH DIRTcar open wheel modified champion of Winter-Nationals held at Volusia Speedway Park, Deleon Springs, Florida.
“We had a great week at Volusia, added Hess. “We had a good car right out of the box and the week kept getting better and better, I was relieved to win the first night, and very excited to win the first preliminary feature locking me into the finally.”
Hess is known in racing circles around the North-East region of the country for being a dominant force in his open wheel modified, and also revered as an up and coming Late Model Driver who has wins with the now defunct, Independent Racing Series, followed the O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series and also won the ‘Roberts Trucking 50’ at Stateline Speedway (NY) boasting a $10,000 payday for the team.
Dave Hess is a strong force behind the wheel of his modified as well, boasting a $5,000 win at Stateline Speedway and also winning the Heritage 101 at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex yielding a 2008 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft-Tail motorcycle valued at just under $18,000.
The 44 team hopes to keep their machines in victory lane once racing begins in the tri-state area. “We’d like to have run our Late Model in Florida too but with such competition it’s hard to even qualify for the feature events,” added Hess.
Hess and the 44 team will be in action at the “Chiller Thriller” held at Mercer Raceway Park Saturday March 27th. He will be debuting the new black Late Model that matches his championship winning e-mod. The events will be sanctioned by the ULMS and the UEMS, respectively.
