HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- Attention all Dirt Late Model and dirt modified racers! Joe Gibbs Racing is hosting veteran dirt racer Dale McDowell for a two day seminar December 14th and 15th titled – Dirt Strategy, Set up & Racing to Win.

The seminar is open to all levels of dirt late model racers and crew chiefs. The 2 day session will be held at the Joe Gibbs Racing 235,000 square foot facility in Huntersville, NC and is presented by Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil.

Dale is one of the most respected and experienced drivers in the dirt late model industry and currently runs the Dirt School at North Georgia Speedway that trains all levels of racers on driving dirt from beginners to NASCAR Nextel Cup veterans. “We’re excited to host Dale’s seminar,” said Lake Speed Jr., director of Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, “some of our best customers race on dirt and it’s a great synergy with Dale’s knowledge and our facility to present this program.”

The focus of the seminar is going to be on real life situations and how to adjust during an event. “You can get set-up information from a lot of sources”, stated McDowell, “but being able to apply that information with all the variables you are facing while at the track is what we are going to focus on.”

Several top chassis manufacturers and drivers will be represented so you’ll have the opportunity to interact with a panel of experts representing chassis manufacturers such as – Rayburn, Rocket, GRT, Master Built, and Warrior. In addition, topics such as driving styles for different geographical regions, the best engine combinations for certain tracks, how to manage tire rules, and even a segment on marketing your team for success.

“We have so much information to convey” noted McDowell, “the Joe Gibbs Racing facility is first class and will be a great environment to learn and soak everything up. My goal is that everyone walks away with a good handle on how to set-up and make changes at the track so they can have more success in 2008.”

The price for the two day seminar is $400 which includes lunch both days. Space is limited so register soon. You can get more information at www.DirtStrategy.com, including travel and hotel information. You can also call 423-580-0017 or email info@dirtstrategy.com.
