34TH ANNUAL WINTERNATIONALS RESULTS
February 1-6, 2010

February 6, 2010 --- Due to the rain-out yesterday at the East Bay Raceway Park, a day/night doubleheader took place today at the 1/3-mile Tampa area venue. Dale McDowell used a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series provisional to gain access into the $10,000 to win afternoon feature and finished twenty-first in the 50-lapper. The Chickamauga, Georgia native then unfortunately missed out on transferring into the $12,000 to win 'Winternationals' finale.

February 5, 2010 --- Round five of the 'Winternationals' scheduled for tonight at the East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida has been postponed due to rain until Saturday afternoon, February 6. The $10,000 to win event will precede the $12,000 to win 'Winternationals' finale, which is scheduled for Saturday evening.

February 4, 2010 --- Night four of the 'Winternationals' took place tonight at the East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida and a $10,000 top prize was up for grabs. Dale McDowell finally broke through and advanced into the 40-lap feature event after running fourth in his heat race and second in his B-Main. After starting twenty-second on the grid in the A-Main, Dale brought his Warrior chassis home in the seventeenth finishing position.

February 3, 2010 --- Dale McDowell and the #17m team experienced their third straight night of disappointment tonight at the East Bay Raceway Park. Dale timed in nineteenth fastest during Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series group qualifying, but later went up in smoke during his heat race. Therefore, he was unable to make the starting grid for the $5,000 to win main event.

February 2, 2010 --- The second night of the 'Winternationals' at East Bay brought more bad luck to the #17m team. Dale McDowell timed in ninth fastest in his group during Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series qualifying, but once again suffered an untimely flat tire during heat race action. For the second straight night, the flat tire prevented Dale from advancing into the $5,000 to win A-Main.

February 1, 2010 --- The 2010 campaign opened up tonight for the Clint Bowyer Racing team at the East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida. Dale McDowell timed in seventh fastest in his group during Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series qualifying, but later suffered a flat right front tire during heat race action. Unfortunately, Dale was not able to rebound from his heat race misfortune and missed out on the $5,000 to win feature event.

The Clint Bowyer Racing team and driver Dale McDowell have released a tentative version of their 2010 racing schedule today, December 30! The #17m team will open up their '10 campaign from February 1-6 at the East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida. Following six nights of Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series action at the Tampa area venue, Dale will then compete in six more races from February 8-13 at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida.

Dale McDowell, of Chickamauga, Georgia, had a very impressive weekend, as he swept the 'Turkey Rumble' at the Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, Tennessee and the 'Blue/Gray 100' at the Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina to pocket $15,000! On Saturday night, November 14 at Cleveland, Dale lowered the track record at the historic oval to earn the pole position for the 40-lap main event. After outside polesitter Ray Cook got the jump at the outset of the race, Dale led laps 2-40 to lay claim to the $5,000 top prize over Cook, Skip Arp, William Thomas, and Jimmy Owens.

At Cherokee on Sunday during the prestigious 'Blue/Gray 100,' Dale qualified well and later won his competitive heat race. After starting from the third position in the 100-lapper, the driver known as the "MacDaddy" quickly grabbed the top spot away from Jimmy Owens. He then paced the stout field until lap 58 when Dennis Erb moved past his #17m Clint Bowyer Racing entry. However, Dale wrestled the point back away from Erb with twenty circuits remaining and cruised to the $10,000 victory by defeating Erb, Jimmy Owens, Jonathan Davenport, and Chris Ferguson.

The Clint Bowyer Racing team and driver Dale McDowell ventured to the Dirt Track at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina last week (November 4-7). The World of Outlaws Late Model Series sanctioned a trio of $10,000 to win events at the Charlotte area venue. Dale was able to transfer into two of the three A-Mains during the WOOLMS extravaganza, as he was deemed light at the scales following heat race action during Wednesday's 'Topless Showdown.'

Things went smoother for the #17m team during the 'World Finals' on Friday and Saturday at Lowe's. In night one on Friday, Dale finished second in heat race action, but broke during the 50-lap main event and wound up twenty-fourth in the final rundown. During Saturday's 'World Finals' finale, which was broadcast live on the SPEED Channel, Dale once again ran second in his competitive heat race prior to notching a ninth place effort in the $10,000 to win feature event.
