"The guys are ready to head down to
Indianapolis with both cars this weekend. Should be a lot of fun. I
love that place," Lorz stated. "We raced there last year in the old
Sunoco National Tour with A.J. (Henriksen) and did very well and he
likes the place, so he should have a good run this weekend. It’ll be
the first time out in this car for him this year." He added.

anywhere, the Prairie State veteran finished a solid 11th
place in the ARCA Racing Series Presented by Menards event at Madison

his Hoosier State drivers’ chances at Lucas Oil Raceway. "Our primary
car is now repaired from the bad crash he had at Winchester last
month. "We had a good car there but the tire blew and that was that.
At our last race at Berlin Raceway (Marne, Michigan), that's a tough
track! He did pretty well there though and finished 14th,
made some ground up in the points and we hope to do the same this
weekend." He ended.

season long points chase, six points back of Tom Woodin and 10 points
out of eighth spot currently being held by Claude Plante Jr. So far in
