By winning the 2007 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title, Earl has won three series
championships in a row winning in '05, '06 and now '07. Earl and the Bobby Labonte
Racing Team tied with the most series wins in 2007 winning five events. Earl's wins
on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series came at East Bay Raceway in Tampa, FL, Farley

in Wheatland, MO and Kankakee Motor Speedway in Kankakee, IL. Earl will be officially
crowned the series champion at the series awards banquet at the annual PRI Show

Earl competed at the Lowes Dirt track on Wednesday night October 10th in a World
of Outlaws sanctioned event. After finishing second in his heat race Earl drew
the 14th starting position for the 50-lap feature event. Earl would get caught up
in a wreck on the initial start on lap 1 and returned from repairs to start at the

end Earls night on lap 13 with severe damage giving Earl a 19th place finish in
