 LAKEVILLE,
IN (December 19, 2011) -- Jimmy Owens drove his Bloomquist Chassis shod with
Hoosier Tires to the Lucas Oil Late Model Series Championship in 2011.
Owens
collected eight wins at tracks from Florida to New York on the 39-race
tour.
His
incredible consistency, including 32 top-five and 35 top-ten finishes was the
difference in the final point standings.
Owens
edged 2010 series champion Scott Bloomquist for his 1st Lucas Oil
Series title.
The
Newport, TN driver was not alone on Hoosier tires during the 2011 season with
38 of the 39 Lucas Oil event winners choosing to compete on the purple
brand.
In
the end, 10 of the top 12 in the final point standings raced on Hoosiers.
Shanon Rush, Hoosier's product
manager for oval track dirt tires, commented, "We could not ask for better
representatives of Hoosier Tire than Jimmy Owens, Chris Fox, and the entire
Reece Monument team."
Rush added, "They
worked extremely hard to garner this championship, just like we continue to
work hard to provide the best race tires in the marketplace today.
We also look forward to another spirited
battle for the Lucas Oil Late Model Series Championship in 2012."
