Special From Lorz Motorsports

Midlothian, IL (June 2, 2011) - On Saturday, May 28^th at Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus, Ohio, Lorz Motorsports with driver, Wes Griffith Jr., made the trip over to the capital city of the Buckeye state for the CoughlinCars.com 100 Presented by JEGS.com, race #2 on the JEGS/CRA/GM calendar.

After qualifying 16^th, the Crown Point, Indiana veteran would start on the outside of the eighth row and after cracking the top 10 at the 3/4s mark of the race, and getting as high as ninth before contact with another car caused enough damage to force Griffith Jr., to park the #76 Gorilla Glue Ford for the evening on lap 88. He was shown 15^th in the final rundown of the event.

With very little time to prepare for the next race on the schedule, this Saturday, June 4^th at Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana for the Anderson 100 Presented by JEGS.com, Car Owner, Mike Lorz has made the decision to go to a back-up car for the race on the fast ¼ (0.250) mile high-banked paved oval located north of Indianapolis.

"Well it’s been a crazy week to say the least; the primary car was damaged pretty badly at Columbus. The yellow had come out and as Wes was slowing down, another car behind him was apparently not paying attention and drilled us in the back causing a lot of damage!" Stated Lorz. "So that car is getting repaired and will not be done in time for Anderson." He added.

"If luck would’ve been on our side, we could’ve come out of there with good finish. The team is working hard to prepare for Anderson and I hope we can come out of there with a good finish." Continued the veteran car owner. "It's time that we improve and a solid top 10 or even a good run in the top five would certainly be nice and a big boost for the crew." Despite the wreck, Griffith Jr., climbed up to a whopping five-way tie for ninth in the season long point’s chase after heading into Columbus 15^th in the standings.

Griffith Jr., will be behind the wheel of the back-up #76 Gorilla Glue Ford and is chasing after the 2011 JEGS/CRA/GM title. He has additional support from; A.S.I. Adhesive Systems, Edca Auto Body, Marcotte’s Bar & Grill, Auto Meter, ISC Racers Tape, Behling Racing Equipment, Aurora Bearing Company, M.P.H. Promotions, and Lorz Motorsports.

If the week wasn’t already busy enough, Lorz Motorsports will be in action racing in the ASA Midwest Tour race on Friday, June 3^rd at Grundy County Speedway in Morris, Illinois with Canadian Jordan Sims behind the wheel of another Lorz Motorsports machine. He’ll be racing in the Wayne Carter Classic 125 at the 1/3 (0.333) mile semi-banked paved oval located west of Chicago.
