JIMMY OWENS BUSY AT DUCK RIVER, NORTH GEORGIA, & VOLUNTEER...
Posted June 15, 2009
Following his unforgettable 'Dream 100' weekend at Eldora, Jimmy Owens and his #20 team had a rather forgettable weekend in the Southeast from June 11-13. On Thursday night, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned a $7,000 to win show at the Duck River Speedway in Wheel, Tennessee. Jimmy was forced to take a series provisional to gain access into the main event, where he finished twenty-fourth in the final rundown. In a $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event on Friday evening at the North Georgia Speedway in Chatsworth, Georgia, Jimmy ran third in heat race action prior to finishing fifth in the 50-lap feature behind winner Joe Armes, Ray Cook, Scott Bloomquist, and Randy Weaver.

After Saturday's $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series race at the Talladega (AL) Short Track was rained-out, the Jimmy Owens Racing team made a dash to the Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Jimmy was unable to take part in the $3,000 to win A-Main at "The Gap" after hitting the wall during qualifying.

A DREAM COME TRUE FOR JIMMY OWENS!
Posted June 7, 2009
Newport, Tennessee native Jimmy Owens became only the fourth driver to win both the 'World 100' and the 'Dream 100' at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio by capturing the $100,000 top prize in the 15th Annual 'Dream 100' on Saturday night, June 6 at the "Big E!" After qualifying third quickest on Friday evening, Jimmy finished fourth in his stacked heat race on Saturday. He later took a fast time provisional to gain access into the 100-lap main event, starting in the nineteenth position.

Despite losing oil pressure early in the race and trailing smoke throughout the 'Dream 100,' Jimmy was on a rail. He moved up into the top five around the halfway point and tracked down leaders Tony Stewart and Scott Bloomquist on lap seventy-three. The driver known as the "Newport Nightmare" passed both Stewart and Bloomquist on the seventy-third circuit and led the remaining twenty-seven laps to secure the $100,000 payday. Finishing behind the #20 car was Scott Bloomquist, Darrell Lanigan, Jimmy Mars, and Brian Birkhofer. You can view complete results and video coverage from the 15th Annual 'Dream 100' online at www.dirtondirt.com.
