"Dollar" Bill Koons and his #29 Dirt Late Model
team are currently hard at work on their equipment prior
to the start of their 2012 campaign. With a new hauler

new Rocket Chassis, which will be equipped with Custom
engines under the hood. Sponsorship on the #29 will come
from Billy's Cafes, Keyser's Port City Racing, Integra
Shocks & Springs, and BG Lubricants. More information

The tripleheader weekend and the 2011 season wrapped

SEPTEMBER 26,
2011
After spending the past two months away from the racetrack,
Bill Koons and his #29 team returned to Dirt Late Model
competition over the September 23-24 weekend at the I-80
Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska. The annual running of
the 'Cornhusker Classic' was held over the weekend and
a stout field of competitors were on hand for the Lucas
Oil MLRA and DART Corn Belt Clash co-sanctioned races.
On Friday night, Bill ran fifth in his heat race and ninth
in his B-Main, which unfortunately kept him out of the
$2,000 to win feature event. In Saturday's finale, Bill
finished fourth in his heat race, fifth in his B-Main,
and twentieth in the $3,000 to win, 35-lap main event.
