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 Shock,s?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.
