West Bend, Wisconsin (Wednesday, June 11, 2008): Defending ASA Late
Model Series Challenge Division Champion, Travis Dassow is coming off
a busy stretch of races that will continue this weekend with Border
Wars.

The West Bend, Wisconsin driver will make a rare appearance in the
ASALMS Northern Division during Border Wars Weekend by participating
in Day I of the Weekend on Friday, July 25th at Madison International
Speedway.

This weekend, the fine folks at the Wisconsin Area Boilermakers Local
107 of Waukesha, Wisconsin will sport decals on the hood of Dassow’s
Black #92 that he drives in the ASALMS Northern Division in select
events during the season.

“We are definitely looking forward to heading to the North race at
Madison this weekend. Last year we set a new track record and
finished second.” Dassow stated. “We are definitely going in their
looking for our first win on the season in our #92 Wisconsin Area
Boilermakers Local 107 Ford Fusion.” He added.

As for the marathon stretch of events for T.D. Racing Development,
they began at their home track of Slinger Super Speedway in Slinger,
Wisconsin on Sunday, July 13th when Travis and his younger brother,
15-year-old Trevor Dassow were both in action in Late Models
competition in preparation for the prestigious Slinger Nationals,
which were on Tuesday, July 15th.

After the Slinger events, it was time to prepare for Round II of the
O’Reilly Auto Parts ASA Late Model Triple Crown Series race down at
Salem Speedway in Salem, Indiana on Friday and Saturday, July 18-19th.
After driving all night on Thursday, the Dassow crew pulled into and
got their first look at the 0.555 Mile High-Banked Paved Oval in
Southern Indiana on Friday morning.

The 21-year-old Dassow brought home a runner-up showing to The Trials
200 Presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts Feature Winner, Sean Murphy, who
would win his fourth feature of the year.

“We had a great race at Salem with our second place finish.” Continued
the 21-year-old! “It was definitely a step in the right direction for
our team after our rough run at Mansfield. It also helped our point’s
situation with the Top Two in points having some problems late in the
race.” Dassow added.

Afterwards, the T.D. Crew continued their travels and drove all night
back to Slinger, Wisconsin for a regular show on the ultra-fast 1/4
mile.

15-year-old Trevor continued his impressive rookie season in Limited
Late Models competition at Slinger and has now taken over the Rookie
of the Year Points Lead with another solid Top 10 finish.

“We are really starting to get the car figured out at Slinger over the
last couple of races.” Relayed the younger Dassow Brother! “Especially
after qualifying second last Sunday night; in the race we started on
the outside and got shuffled to the back on the start by the car that
started in front of us.”

“But the car was really good and worked our way back up, but not
having any cautions hurt us.” Continued the West Bend, Wisconsin
teenager! “Not being able to get the field bunched back up didn’t help
us out any, but we’re coming around.” He ended.

As for this weekend at Madison, Travis Dassow will steer his T.D.
Racing Development Ford Fusion with sponsorship on the hood of his
machine this weekend from; Wisconsin Boilermakers Local 107 of
Waukesha, Wisconsin.
