HS Motorsports Special Release:

VANDOORN IS WHISTLIN' DIXIE AFTER WINNING THE DIXIE CLASSIC 150

John VanDoorn and the HS Motorsports team rolled into Dixie Motor Speedway with one goal in mind:  win the Outlaw Super Late Model race in dominating fashion, like they did on June 15th, when John started on the front row and lead every lap en route to his first win for HS Motorsports.  This time, VanDoorn had to work harder for the win coming from his ninth starting spot.

John timed in 4th out of 32 cars, behind John Grega, Scott Hantz, and John Doering Jr.  The race was 150 laps with a ten minute break after 75 laps.  John started ninth and was second at the half way point, right on the rear bumper of John Doering Jr.  Before John came into the pits, he told the team on the radio what they needed to work on, and when the cars headed to the pits, the team went to work, which included changing two tires adding fuel as well as some other adjustments.

John restarted second and was racing hard with Doering.  The front two were making their way through lapped traffic when John got passed Doering coming out of turn two to take the lead.  The race was not over though as Doering got back to VanDoorn with about 14 laps to go.  Once again, in lapped traffic on the front stretch, Doering tried to get under VanDoorn and lost it, resulting in a spin, putting Doering to the rear of the lead lapped cars.  John went on to old off John Grega, his co-worker at Port City Racecars, for the win in the Dixie Classic 150, taking home the big check off $6,000 and trophy.

How did VanDoorn celebrate the win?  Last time he won at Dixie he did donuts on the front stretch. This time he took the checkered flag for a ride around Dixie, celebrating with the fans like he did when he won his first race this season at Berlin.

Great job to the whole HS Motorsports team, notching win number 4 for the #16 car and John's 5th win of the year (his first win was in the #71 family owned car).
