PETERSEN
MEDIA: Though his 2011 campaign was cut short due to a violent wreck at
the Lincoln Speedway, Fayetteville, PA shoe, Lance Dewease still
managed to rack up a grocery list of impressive accolades.
The benchmark for any racer in the world takes place in the middle of
August at the Marion County Fairgrounds- known as the Knoxville
Nationals. 2011, Dewease squeaked in out of the B and tagged the back of
the feature.
In the feature, Dewease managed to charge his Viper Risk
Management/Wings Unlimited/Hanks Performance Products backed entry
through the field, and scored a career best 9th place finish.
2011 saw Dewease compete in 75 total races along the East coast and against the coveted PA Posse.
Dewease hung monstrous numbers as he hung championships at the famed
Williams Grove Speedway, his sixth, and the All Stars Circuit of
Champions- Eastern Region Championship.
In those 75 races he ran, Dewease parked his Schaeffer Racing
Oils/Penske Racing Shocks/FK Rodends entry in the victory circle eight
times while recording 59 top-ten finishes.
Though 2011 looks great on paper for Dewease, it came with serious consequence.
On October 8th while competing at the Lincoln Speedway, Dewease was
involved in a horrific accident that ultimately ended his season.
Dewease suffered a broken neck, as he destroyed his c6 vertebrae, that needed surgery to fix.
While he is now rehabbing his injury, Dewease plans to be back stronger then ever in 2012.
“We had a really strong year in 2011,” said Dewease. “The only real
blemish was getting hurt, but we’re going to take our time and make sure
I’m 100% before strapping back in the car, so I’m not entirely sure
when our 2012 campaign will get underway.”
Dewease would like to thank Viper Risk Management Group, Wings
Unlimited, Hank’s Performance Products, Schaeffer Racing Oils, Penske
Racing Shocks, FK Rodends, Keizer Aluminum Wheels,DMI Racing
Components, Astro Titanium, Morrison Racing Engines, Tom Shockey
Collision, FW Graphics, WRT Web Designs, WRT SpeedWerx, ATL Fuel Cells
and Schoenfeld Headers for their continued support.
