Dirt Late Model Superstar Driver Dale McDowell Joins World of Outlaws Late Model Series Broadcast Team
Posted Friday, Jun 27, 2008

Concord, NC — By Chris Dolack, DIRTcar Racing P.R.

When the World of Outlaws Late Model Series makes its television debut at 5 p.m. Eastern July 13 on SPEED with the two-hour super-sized Firecracker 100 Presented By Gottarace from Lernerville Speedway, an experienced broadcast team will bring fans all of the action.

Shane Andrews and long-time Dirt Late Model superstar Dale McDowell will call the race as Sarah Jane Hunt, who brought viewers the Late Model stories from the Vault World Finals last season, will cover all of the fast-breaking action in the pits.

New to the World of Outlaws Late Model Series broadcast team in 2008, McDowell is a former World of Outlaws Late Model Series competitor and the 2005 World 100 champion who can deliver a unique perspective only somebody who has wheeled one of these 2,300-pound machines around a dirt track can provide. McDowell, a native of Chickamauga, Ga., has more than 25 years of racing experience and now instructs rising stars on the intricacies of dirt track racing.

“We are very exciting to have Dale McDowell join Shane Andrews and Sarah Jane Hunt on our broadcast team,” World Racing Group Chief Marketing Officer Ben Geisler said. “Dale will bring a unique perspective to the broadcasts that has been missing in coverage of Dirt Late Model racing. He will be able to explain to viewers not only what the drivers are experiencing as they turn lap after lap, but also what the cars are going through as they battle toward the checkered flag.”

The World of Outlaws Late Model Series will feature not only the two-hour special Firecracker 100 event July 13 on SPEED, but will have four consecutive weekends of coverage this summer, including broadcasts from Deer Creek Speedway airing at 4 p.m. Eastern on Aug. 16; Eldora Speedway at 3 p.m. on Aug. 23; Sharon Speedway at Noon on Aug. 31; and Tri-City Speedway at 6 p.m. Eastern on Sept. 7.

The World of Outlaws Late Model Series will also star in the live three-hour super-sized special Vault World Finals at 8 p.m. Eastern on Nov. 1.
