[rebelracewriter]

The Lucas Oil Late Model Series comes to Dixie Saturday for the “Dixie

Shootout” and to Rome Sunday for the “Rome Rumble” to conclude the

season. Both shows pay $10,000 to win.

Dixie's show starts at 7:30 and also includes the local Econo Bombers,

Super Bombers, Limited Late Models, and Cruisers. Admission is $25 (17

and under $6, 8 and under free).

Rome's show starts at 7:30 and includes the Econo Bombers, Pony

Stocks, Limited Late Models, and Cruisers. Admission is $25 (17 and

under $6, 8 and under free).

With a 260 point lead, Scott Bloomquist will surely end the weekend as

the Series Points Champion for the second year in a row. The

contenders:

POS DRIVER POINTS

1 Scott Bloomquist 7160

2 Jimmy Owens 6900

3 Earl Pearson, Jr. 6850

Chris Wall has a 220 point lead in the Rookie Of The Year race.

Last year at Dixie, Earl Pearson Jr., at 13.824 seconds, set a new New

Track Record. He finished third, as Ray Cook got his first Dixie

Shootout win, with Dan Schlieper second. (Dixie regular Lee Sutton

reset the record at 13.806 May 15.)

At Rome, Scott Bloomquist, of Mooresburg, TN, clinched the 2009 Lucas

Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Championship in grand fashion by

winning the final series race of the year. Bloomquist led all 50 laps

to take the $10,000 first place money, but more importantly took home

the $75,000 first place check for winning his first ever Lucas Oil

Series title.

Last year eight GA drivers made the feature for the Rome show.

A Friday night Lucas show originally scheduled for the Talladega Short

Track was cancelled.
