   THE FLYING DUTCHMAN EXTENDS RACE SEASON

   WILL COMPETE NEXT WEEK IN LUCAS OIL OFF-ROAD RACING SERIES

    

   Las Vegas, NV (November 5, 2009) - After a successful season  
competing in the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, Dan Vanden  
Heuvel brought his #77 Flying Dutchman Maxxis Tire Chevy race truck to  
the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketing Association) Show as one of  
the centerpieces of the Maxxis Tire display. Along with other Maxxis  
supported off-road trucks, crawlers, and buggies, Dan worked alongside  
Maxxis Motorsport director, Creighton King answering any questions  
that the crowd of 100,000 attendees asked.

   The Maxxis Tire display was adjacent to the Lucas Oil Off-Road  
Racing Series sponsored Off-Road demo track. Through out the show,  
off-road race trucks would entertain the conventioneers with a display  
of high flying action on the Toyota test track.

    

   During this time Vanden Heuvel was approached to extend his race  
season to include the final two weekends of racing of the Lucas Oil  
Off-Road Racing Series. Within a few hours an agreement was reached,  
and a title sponsor was on board to keep the Flying Dutchman racing  
into December.

    

   ?We had an incredible season with TORC,? commented Dan Vanden  
Heuvel. ?We were competing with guys that had huge budgets, while I  
was running out of my pocket. My team proved we were one of the best  
in the TORC series. Then without much fanfare, a deal was struck to  
keep our team on the West Coast for another month to compete in the  
Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series. That says a lot about our team, not  
only this year, but also my entire career. ?

    

   Look for Dan Vanden Heuvel Sr. in the Unlimited 2 division, as well  
as his son Mike, driving the Probst Motorsports E3 Spark Plug truck in  
the Unlimited Lite division competing next weekend, November 14-15, at  
Primm International Off-Road Raceway in Primm, Nevada.
