Midlothian, Illinois (Thursday, August 28, 2008): Lorz Motorsports has
announced that Josh Lane and the team have parted ways effective
immediately and now the team has an open spot available for a driver
to wheel the #54 machine for the rest of the 2008 racing season and
beyond.
"After a great weekend at the Milwaukee Mile, we got the news that
Josh would not be finishing the season in the #54 car," A disappointed
Mike Lorz stated. "We've still got three races left on the 2008 ASA
Late Model Series North schedule! It's a pretty big disappointment
that he can't finish the year," Lorz added.
Prior to the announcement, Lane finishing 15th at Milwaukee and was
sitting 15th in the season long points chase within the ASALMS
Northern Division and was leading the ASALMS North GM Performance
Parts Shootout Points Standings.
"Our season started off bad with Josh getting into that big wreck at
ORP and that took a lot out of the budget," Explained Lorz. "It put us
behind the eight-ball right off the bat. The team worked hard to get
the season turned around and he was doing good, finishing every race
and was really maturing as a driver."
"I wish Josh the best of luck in the future and I hope he keeps his
head up, keeps working hard and some days his dreams will come true,"
the appreciative Car Owner remarked. "He's going to be a very good
driver very soon."
As for the remainder of the 2008 racing season, Lorz Motorsports is
looking for a driver with financial backing to finish off the 2008
ASALMS North campaign as well as for the upcoming 2009 racing season.
