Chris Brown and Gavin Landers Join Forces for 2016

Batesville, Arkansas (02/23/16) – With a new season of racing rapidly approaching Chris Brown and Gavin Landers are excited to announce that they will be teammates in the Dirt Late Model ranks in 2016.

“This is a great opportunity for both Gavin and myself,” said Brown. “I was at a point, where I needed to make some changes within my program, and Gavin was at a point, where he could use some input and help at the track. This solution puts us both in a position, where we can reach our goals.”

Brown, who finished in the runner-up spot in the 2015 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMS) Rookie of the Year battle, has improved by leaps and bounds in Dirt Late Model competition over the past few years as he traversed the national scene. This combined with his successful history as both a racer and mentor in the Modified ranks allows the Spring, Texas racer to provide knowledge that will aid Landers in his young career.

“Throughout my career I’ve always enjoyed helping other drivers with their setups and driving styles,” noted Brown. “I’ve watched Gavin race several times, and I think he has a ton of potential behind the wheel. I plan to do whatever I can to help him progress to the full extent of that potential.”

Gavin Landers recently completed his first-full year of Super Late Model competition. The 19-year-old from Batesville, Arkansas registered several strong performances throughout the year and also claimed the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Rookie of the Year title.

“I learned a lot this year, but I recognize that I have so much more to learn,” notes Landers. “I’m eager to do whatever I need to get faster and more consistent behind the wheel. I just need somebody there at the track, who can point me in the right direction until I get more experience. Chris (Brown) definitely brings this to the table.”

The team will base their operations at the Lance Landers Motorsports facility in Batesville, Arkansas. Both drivers will utilize Sweet-Bloomquist Race Cars with Penske Shocks. James Crockett will be the crew chief for both entries with Jarrod Grider also turning wrenches.

Landers and Brown tentatively hope to open their 2016 campaign at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana) on March 11-12 with the 6th Annual Pelican 100. The duo plans to enter an array of regional and national events throughout the season, including all of the televised races with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS). As more schedules are made available for 2016, the team will finalize their plans.

The team is currently seeking marketing partners. Any interested parties are encouraged to please contact Gavin Landers at 870-251-6866.

Shane Clanton Takes WoOCLMS DIRTcar Nationals Finale

Zebulon, Georgia (02/23/16) – On Saturday evening at Volusia Speedway Park, Shane Clanton scored his second World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series (WoOCLMS) win of the young season in his Weldbank Energy #25 Capital Race Car/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

The opening rounds of the 45th Annual DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) found Clanton experiencing a wide range of highs and lows. He registered finishes of 5th, 7th, 6th, and 10th to start the week. However, his luck took a strong turn for the worst on Friday evening as he experienced mechanical issues in his heat race before seeing his entry severely damaged in a multi-car incident in the feature. His night ended with a disappointing, 29th place finish.

Despite his bad luck on Friday in World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series (WoOCLMS) competition, Shane and the team returned with determination on Saturday evening. For the final night of the DIRTcar Nationals, Shane was one of 49 WoOCLMS registered for action. After recording the 6th fastest qualifying time in his group, Clanton cruised to a 10-lap heat race win.

Earning a 5th place starting spot for the finale after the redraw, Clanton ran down race leader, Josh Richards on lap 45 to take the top spot. Holding off Scott Bloomquist’ last-lap charge, Shane Clanton captured his second victory of the 2016 season with Bloomquist, Richards, Brandon Overton, and Jonathan Davenport rounding out the top five. The triumph was worth $10,000.

“It’s amazing the difference a night can make,” said a relieved Clanton in victory lane. “Just last night it seemed like things were about as bad as they could get, and tonight we get the win. It just shows how awesome this entire team is and how there is no quit in any of us.”

He concluded by saying, “I have so many sponsors to thank including Capital Race Cars, Weldbank Energy, Cooper’s Country Meat Packers, Super K Express, VP Racing Fuels, Hoosier Tire, and just everyone that supports my program.”

Shane is currently fourth in WoOCLMS points standings. Full results from the events are available at www.DirtCarNationals.com and www.WoOLMS.com.

The team is currently unsure of when their next event will be. To stay updated on the latest team information, please point your browsers to www.ShaneClanton25.com .
