AUGUST 7, 2022 The
Iron Motorsports team found themselves at Merritt Speedway
in Lake City, Michigan on August 5-6 for the 34th edition
of the 'Wood Tic Dan Salay Memorial.' On Friday night
during preliminary action, Jeep Van Wormer timed in second
fastest in his group during qualifying and later ran second
in his heat race. After firing off from the outside of
the second row in the 25-lap odd main event, Jeep drove
to the front to secure the $1,500 first place prize money
over runner-up Cody Bauer, Rich Bell, David Mielke, and
Ryan Missler!
By virtue of his win in the odd feature
on Friday, Jeep rolled off from the pole position in Saturday's
75-lap headliner. With his sights set on the whopping
$34,000 winner's check, the Pinconning, Michigan standout
ran amongst the top five early in the distance before
slipping over the turn one banking battling for the third
spot on lap 44. While he was able to get his #55 machine
back on the racing surface, the off-road excursion helped
drop him to eleventh in the final rundown of the 'Wood
Tic Dan Salay Memorial.' Complete results from the event
can be located online at www.merrittspeedwaymi.com.

JULY 24, 2022 A
pair of $10,000 DIRTcar Summer Nationals tilts were next
up on the racing calendar for the #55 team on July 22-23
in their home state of Michigan. On Friday night at the
nearby Tri-City Motor Speedway in Auburn, Michigan, Jeep
Van Wormer posted the third quickest lap in his group
during qualifying before securing an impressive victory
in his heat race. After starting the 40-lap feature from
the inside of the second row, Jeep ran strong early in
the contest until sliding off the racetrack and eventually
retiring in the twenty-first finishing position.
The "Hell Tour" finale then took
place on Saturday evening at Merritt Speedway in Lake
City, Michigan and another $10,000 top prize was up for
grabs. Jeep laid down the fifth quickest time in his group
during the qualifying session prior to finishing fifth
in his loaded heat race and winning the B-Main. The Pinconning,
Michigan ace then started the 40-lapper from the seventeenth
starting spot and picked off a handful of competitors
en route to a twelfth place effort. Full results from
both weekend races can be located online at www.dirtcarsummernationals.com.

JULY 17, 2022 Following
a rain-out on Friday night at the nearby Tri-City (MI)
Motor Speedway, the Iron Motorsports team made their way
back to Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon, Ohio on Saturday
evening, July 16 for the track's annual 'Birthday Race.'
The DIRTcar Summer Nationals once again sanctioned the
program, which drew a whopping 57 competitors to the Buckeye
State oval to vie for the $10,000 winner's check. Jeep
Van Wormer stopped the clock third quickest in his group
during the qualifying session and ran second through much
of his heat race until a flat tire on the last lap dropped
him to third in the prelim.
After rolling off from the outside of the
ninth row in the 40-lap headliner, Jeep was making his
way through the talented field when his front bumper unfortunately
folded under. Not being able to steer his #55 machine
properly, the Pinconning, Michigan ace was forced to head
pitside to settle for a disappointing twentieth place
performance. Complete results from last night at Oakshade
can be viewed online at www.dirtcarsummernationals.com.

a charge back through the field to land inside of the
top five. At the checkers, the Pinconning, Michigan ace

lucrative 'Eldora Million' and 'Dirt Late Model Dream'
were next on the racing calendar for Jeep Van Wormer,
as the #55 team trekked to the famed Eldora Speedway from
June 8-11. Following a washout at the Rossburg, Ohio facility
on Wednesday night, the entire 'Eldora Million' program
was contested on Thursday. During the daytime $12,000
to win preliminary event, Jeep ran sixth in his heat race
and second in his B-Main prior to advancing up to nineteenth
in the 25-lap feature. In the nightcap, which boasted
a whopping $1,002,022 top prize, Jeep unfortunately missed
out on transferring into the 101-lap headliner after finishing
fifth in his stacked heat race and eleventh in his B-Main.
When the weekend rolled around in the Buckeye
State, the attention turned to the annual running of the
'Dirt Late Model Dream.' In the $12,000 to win preliminary
show on Friday evening, Jeep once again transferred into
the 25-lapper by virtue of running fifth in his heat race.
In the contest, which was pushed back to Saturday afternoon
due to inclement weather, the Pinconning, Michigan ace
moved up a couple of spots to finish sixteenth in the
final rundown. Later that night, Jeep wound up ninth in
his heat race and eighth in his B-Main, which unfortunately
forced him to miss out on the $128,000 to win 'Dirt Late
Model Dream.' Complete results from each day at the "Big
E" can be found by logging onto www.eldoraspeedway.com.

Iron Motorsports team entered their fourth event of the
young 2022 racing season on Friday night, May 13 at the
nearby Tri-City Motor Speedway. The Auburn, Michigan facility
played host to their season opener, which featured the
ground-pounding Super Late Models running for a $2,500
paycheck. Jeep Van Wormer stopped the clock fourth fastest
in his group during the qualifying session before running
second in heat race action. After starting the 25-lap
headliner from the outside of the second row, Jeep fought
hard for a top five showing in the DIRTcar-sanctioned

APRIL 30, 2022 Jeep
Van Wormer and his #55 team kicked off their version of
the 2022 racing season in a busy three-race week from
April 26-29 in the states of Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan.
Things kicked off with a pair of $22,022 to win Castrol
FloRacing Night in America Series battles at Eldora Speedway
in Rossburg, Ohio and Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown,
Indiana. On Tuesday on a rugged racing surface at Eldora,
Jeep ran eighth in his loaded heat race and fourth in
his B-Main, which was one mere position out of a coveted
transfer spot into the 30-lap feature. At Brownstown on
Wednesday evening, Jeep advanced to sixth in his heat
race and fourth in his B-Main, but that once again left
him just short of transferring into the 50-lap headliner.
Following a day off on Thursday, the Iron
Motorsports team rolled into I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa,
Michigan on Friday night. The Allstar Performance Challenge
Series sanctioned their season opener at I-96 and a $4,000

third quickest in Group B during the qualifying session
before running fourth in heat race action. The Pinconning,
Michigan ace then started the 40-lapper from the inside
