Series North Points for Troy Hintzsche and Lorz Motorsports.

Midlothian, Illinois (Tuesday, September 30, 2008): Oktoberfest
Weekend is one of the biggest, tradition-laden, end of the season
special events in North America. The ASA Late Model Series Northern
Division has crowned each of their champions over the past two seasons
there.
The 0.545 Mile Progressively Banked Paved Oval of LaCrosse Fairgrounds
Speedway, located East of the Minnesota / Wisconsin state line in West
Salem, Wisconsin will host the ASALMS Northern Division Season
Championships on the Saturday portion of the huge weekend on October
4, 2008.
25-year-old Troy Hintzsche is ready for the Oktoberfest 100 and in the
eyes of many observers, is long past overdue to score his first career
ASALMS Northern Division Feature Win.
Hintzsche's last ASALMS North race was at I-70 Speedway in Odessa,
Missouri on September 20th for the World Cup 100. The Malta, Illinois
driver came home in sixth place at the end of the race and is now just
Nine (9) points out of the coveted Top Five in the final point's
standings.
"Troy ran a great race at I-70. Last time we were there, it looked
like remnants of Talladega in the pit area after that race in July,"
Laughed Lorz Motorsports Car Owner, Mike Lorz. "Our goal at LaCrosse
is to Win! We want to finish as high as we can in the points, but we
need a strong showing and Troy is long overdue for that win!" Lorz
added.
"Troy has done an excellent job this season for Lorz Motorsports and
I'm damn proud of what he and the entire team led by Crew Chief, Dan
Lorz has accomplished this season." The appreciative Car Owner stated.
Hintzsche won't be the only driver that Lorz will be watching this
weekend as Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario / Canada teenager, 19-year-old
Jordan Sims will also make the trip over and experience Oktoberfest
for the first time.
In addition, this will be Sims ASALMS Northern Division debut after
making select appearances in the ASALMS Challenge Division earlier in
the season. Lorz is looking forward to watching the young Canadian
pilot and seeing how he stacks up against a tough North field.
"Last time out, he broke a motor at Milwaukee. The rod snapped in
half," Explained the Car Owner, "We're trying to get Jordan as many
laps as we can so he'll be ready to make a run at the Rookie of the
Year title in 2009. He's a great kid and a very good driver. I see
good things coming from him in the future." He ended.
For Oktoberfest Weekend, Hintzsche will race in his familiar red and
black #76 Lorz Motorsports Ford Fusion with sponsorship from: Winfield
Solutions as well as DeKalb Seed, International Truck and Engine
Corporation, BASF Chemical Corporation, Rooster Reality, Bell Racing,
M.P.H. Promotions, and Lorz Motorsports.
Sims will be behind the wheel of his White #99 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
with sponsorship from; Sims Custom Countertops, Atkins Performance
Parts, Richelieu Hardware, M.P.H. Promotions, Jordan Sims Racing, and
Lorz Motorsports.
Also Lorz Motorsports is looking for a driver with financial backing
for the 2009 racing season. To learn more about the now vacant seat in
