Archived News: May 26th, 2012 - The team made their first ever trip to Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Missouri) over the weekend for the 20th Annual DART Show Me 100, which was sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS). Fifty-five cars entered the event, and in time trials Jason qualified tenth fastest in his group to earn the fifth starting spot for the second heat race. Early in the heat he would mount a great charge to as high as the third position before almost spinning in turn two, which allowed several cars to pass him. He would ultimately cross the finish line in the heat race in the eleventh position, which left him starting 14th in a b-main on Saturday night. In the b-main he would pass several cars, but fell short of claiming one of the three transfer spots as night came to an early end. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com. May 18th, 2012 - After a few weeks away from the track Jason resumed the 2012 season on Friday night with the Corn Belt Clash Series at Cedar County Speedway (Tipton, Iowa) in a $3,000-to-win event. Thirty-two competitors registered for battle, and after falling short of locking into the feature via heat race action, Rauen locked into the feature via a fourth place finish in his b-main. He started eighteenth on the grid for the feature. Early in the event he was already up to the eleventh position, when he tagged an infield tire on a restart, bringing his night to an early end in the 21st position.
