Tyler Clem Ends 2017 with a Bang

St. Petersburg, Florida (11/30/17) – 15-year-old, Tyler Clem entered one final event on the 2017 season on Sunday night, and he made the most of the opportunity by taking his Hedman Hedders #14 Rent-N-Roll/ Rocket Chassis to Victory Lane.

The win marked his 8th of the season.

Tyler Clem brought his 2017 season to a close on Sunday with a trip to the familiar confines of Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida), where he was competing against a field of 21 Super Late Models in the 5th annual Leftover Classic.

Passing three cars in his heat race, Tyler streaked to a heat race victory, positioning him the on the pole for the feature. Pacing the field from the drop of the green flag in the caution-plagued finale – which was shortened due to a time limit – Clem cruised to his eighth win of the season. Shan Smith, Bruce Harvey, Richard Ferry, and Nevin Gainey completed the Top-5 finishers.

“I hated to see the feature get cut short because of cautions and the time limit, but it’s awesome to end the season with another win,” Clem said. “This gives us some momentum heading into the off-season. I’m really looking forward to 2018, and I want to say a very special thank you to everyone, who helps make this program possible.”

Jake Knowles Brings the Season to a Close; Preps for 2018

Rome, Georgia (11/30/17) – Jake Knowles took his Knowles Race Parts & Bodies #66 Brucebilt Performance Rocket Chassis Late Model into action for the final time in 2017 over the course of the Thanksgiving weekend. While the result of the weekend is not what he had hoped, Knowles still considers the 2018 season to have been a great success.

“We had a good car in the feature but broke a shock bolt on lap 9, which ended things way early for us, so that was pretty disappointing,” Knowles commented. “We had our shares of ups and downs this year, but overall I’m very pleased with what we were able to accomplish. We only had one win, but we were knocking on the door on several occasions. I think we’ve got a strong base here, and we should be able to hit the ground running in 2018.”

Competing in the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series season finale, Jake Knowles traveled to Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) on Friday night, where he entered the 12th annual Possum Town Grand Prix.

With 62 Crate Late Models on hand for the two-day event, Knowles recorded the second-fastest time in his qualifying group before placing third in his heat race. Earning the 14th-starting position for the $10,000-to-win A-Main on Saturday night, Jake brought out the first caution in the early laps when his car came to a halt. Unable to make it back out for the remaining 90 circuits after the crew discovered a broken right-rear shock, he was credited with a 24th-place finish.

Despite not entering all the events with the series, Jake finished seventh in the final NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series point standings. For full results from this event and the complete standings, please visit www.NeSmithRacing.com .

Jake ends 2017 with one win, 17 Top-5 finishes, and 27 Top-10 finishes. He also finished in the runner-up position in the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series standings.

For 2018 the team plans to contend for the championship in the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series as well as the NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series. Jake will open his 2018 campaign on January 4-7 at Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) with the annual Ice Bowl.

“I want to thank my sponsors, my family, and fans for all of their great support this season,” Knowles said. “I’m looking forward to a big 2018. We are actively pursuing additional sponsors and marketing partners. I encourage any interested parties to please contact me at 678-414-4655.”

Jake Knowles would like to thank his marketing partners, which include Knowles Race Parts & Bodies, Josh Roberts Trucking, Berry Construction General Contractor, Martins Wrecker Service, Curbow Logging, Coosa Heating & Cooling, Brucebilt Performance, JW Motorsports, Cruise with the Champions, Shorty’s Shock Service, Hoosier Racing Tire by Pup, Knowles Trucking, Keyser Manufacturing, Wiles Racing Driveshafts, Joe’s Transmission, Carolina Racing Supply, Big A’s Custom Graphics, Renegade Racing Fuels, Mitchell Jenkins Photography, Dynojet, and MSRMafia.com Marketing Services.

Dunn-Benson Motorsports and Bobby Pierce to Team Up in 2018, New Sponsors Announced!

(November 30, 2017) - Dunn Benson Motorsports owners Carlton and Kemp Lamm are excited to announce Bobby Pierce from Oakwood, IL will be their driver in 2018. The Lamm's contacted Bobby Pierce and his family about the possibility of driving their cars after Earl Pearson Jr decided to part ways with Dunn Benson Motorsports following the Dirt Track World Championship back in October. Once the driver seat became available at Dunn Benson Motorsports, the Lamm's put together a short list of drivers that they felt would best fit their Team and Bobby Pierce was the very first choice to contact.

Bobby just 21 years old, is already well accomplished in the dirt late model world with Three (3) consecutive UMP Dirtcar Summer Nationals Championships (2017, 2016, 2015), Three (3) UMP Dirtcar Late Model National Championships (2016, 2015, 2014) and many crown jewel super late model victories including the 2017 Show-Me 100, 2016 World 100, 2016 North/South 100 and finished 2nd in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Race at Eldora Speedway in 2015.

"Bobby has proven he has enormous talent and can win on the big stage even at his young age. We have been watching him for several years and seen him mature into one of the top dirt late model racers in country in our opinion. We couldn't be more excited to have Bobby as our driver and to partner with his whole family," stated Kemp Lamm co-owner of Dunn Benson Motorsports along with his dad Carlton Lamm.

Dunn Benson Motorsports is also excited to announce a new primary sponsor in 2018.

Bradley Creed. Campbell University also has a growing Athletic Department with multiple sports programs and will use this partnership to increase their brand presence all across the country along with a special show car program to use at Campbell University functions.

"We are very excited to partner with Campbell University! It's a great opportunity to help promote, educate and inform people about this great college just down the road from us in Buies Creek, NC. We feel Bobby Pierce will be a great spokesperson for Campbell University and will relate to potential future students looking to choose a college to attend. It's also an opportunity for our race team to reach a new market and create new fans for our sport that we love. The President, Dr. Creed and everyone at Campbell University have been wonderful to work with during this whole process," stated Kemp Lamm.

Dunn Benson Motorsports has also hired Bob Pierce to attend all the race events and serve as Bobby's crew chief at the race track. Bobby will relocate to Dunn, NC and work on the racecars during the week working alongside a car chief at the race shop. Dunn Benson Motorsports and Bobby Pierce have partnered with Rocket Chassis and will use Larry Wallace Engines in 2018.

"I'm very excited to start this next page in my career. I want to Thank Carlton and Kemp Lamm and everyone at Dunn Benson Motorsports and Dunn Benson Ford for this amazing opportunity! Not only have they welcomed me with open arms but they have included my family as part of their Team as well. My parents will travel with us and Dad will be helping me make key decisions on the cars while my mom will be selling our merchandise." stated Bobby Pierce.

"It's really great how the Lamm's have incorporated my family into this deal and all our sponsors to be a part of their Team in 2018. They have some great sponsors including their new primary sponsor Campbell University, which I look forward to visiting and meeting all their staff and students. I'm very happy to have our key sponsors Premier Waste, Hoker Trucking, and Allgayer Inc. coming on board with me to this new deal. I've built amazing friendships with each of them and glad they are going to support me and the Dunn Benson Motorsports Team in 2018. Also want to thank all our product sponsors that have teamed up with us and how we were able to merge a lot of the same product sponsors into this deal. I also want to say a huge Thank You and express how excited I am to begin a relationship with Rocket Chassis. Mark Richards and Steve Baker have really treated us great putting together our new cars and helping us brand Pierce Race Cars as a new Rocket Chassis Dealer. Looking forward to getting 2018 started," continued Pierce.
