Dirt Late Model standout Jared
Landers of Batesville, Arkansas, will compete in the NASCAR Campng World Truck
Series’ inaugural dirt track event at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio,
driving for Eddie Sharp Racing.
The "Mudsummer Classic” will
be NASCAR's first national series event on dirt since 1970, and has been the
talk of the town since it was announced earlier this year. This is not the
first dirt race for ESR, however, as the team has raced and won on dirt in the
ARCA Racing Series.
"It's going to be a wild
event, since not many know what to expect,” said team owner Eddie Sharp. “But
Jared is an ace on dirt and we have great people and equipment to handle the job.
It's sure going to be fun.”
"I'm really excited to get to
race in the Truck Series,” said Landers. “We've been talking about this race
for a long time and now that's it's a reality, I'm excited and ready to go to
Eldora.”
Landers, a full time driver for
Clint Bowyer Racing, has over 100 wins in his dirt Late Model and open wheel
modified career. He competes full-time on the Lucas Oil Late Models Series and is
the current track record holder in a dirt Late Model at Eldora Speedway, and
most recently competed in the Dream 100 there on June 8. Sponsorship for the
NASCAR race will come from Mark Martin Automotive of Batesville, Arkansas, Peak
Motor Oil and Crawford Supply/Traeger Grills.
ESR is putting together several trucks for the dirt and road course
events on this year's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule. "We have
a lot of fresh and exciting things happening at ESR, we have a great program
with Max Gresham in the #8 and racing with Jared at Eldora is another great
step" said Sharp.
