June 6, 2011 - So far this year we have 2 Boyne races in at Berlin raceway, finishing 3rd and 4th.  One CRA race, that we didn't only get a few laps in and was caught up in someone else's mis -fortune turned into our mis-fortune.  As they say, "that's racing".  Jordan has also raced two Modified races for Big Show Motorsports, finishing 5th after a flat tire on lap 12 started at the back of 19 cars and raced his way back to 5th.  That was fun to watch.  Also, yesterday he raced a USA Modified race at Kalamazoo Speedway, finished 6th.  Lots of fun racing for this team, love Mark, Allyson and the entire crew.  Thank you!

January 29, 2011 - The plans for the 2011 Racing season is to race the new Boyne Series at Berlin Raceway and the new CRA Jegs/All Star Series, with the GM Crate Motors.  We will also run a few of the regular CRA Series races.  Schedule to be updated for the 2011 season soon.

December , 28,2010 - With the new year right around the corner, Dahlke Motorsports is getting ready to put it in high gear.  Checking the 2011 racing season schedules, and also planning the work schedules to make sure Larry can help out some of the teams he does some work for and making sure we have enough time to get our own cars ready to go. 

Got the new pole building done was able to move some equipment around and Larry and Jordan actually have room to move and work effectively again. 

August 28, 2010 - (hopefully this computer with work long enough to update the website, need to move the files for the website from this old desktop to our laptop).  Since the last update, much has happened.  We had a feature win at Kalamzoo on August 7th and last week we had our car just about destroyed, and that is all I will say about that.  BS Motorsports is having an awesome year with a total of 5 feature wins at 2 different tracks, within a 7 week window.  Getting ready to head out for a great night of racing with the BS Motorsports team.  Good luck Jordan and Brian!

August 4. 2010 - So far during this season Jordan has had one win at Berlin Raceway June 26 in the MOD and a few seconds, several thirds and forths.  He is sitting 5th in points at Berlin, even though we are not running for points and have missed a few races at that track, but are having a blast racing at Berlin, Kalamazoo and we also went to Owosso on a whim one Saturday morning.

May 2,2010 - Sorry about the lack of updating the website. The computer has had nothing but problems and is the only one we can access the website on. We raced at Berlin this weekend (May 1st) in a modified for BS MotorSports (thanks Mark & Allison) and had a blast! We qualified 5th fastest and finished 4th in the race. It felt great to get back on the track racing once more. Next weekend (May 8th) we will be racing again at Berlin and hope to see you there!

July 19, 2009 - After some very unfortunate circumstances, we once again have to re-adjust the schedule.  Please check often for updates. There will be deletions (ARCA) and additions (hopefully) to the schedule.

July 3, 2009- A Better day a Berlin on the 20th.  It is starting to feel a little bit like home at Berlin.  We have two more races there this season, one in the ARCA car (if we can get it finished) and another in the CRA car.  We had a good race and finished 9th!  Larry is doing a lot of work in the shop on his own and with only one set of hands, it takes longer to get things done.  So hopefully he and Jordan can get the ARCA car wrapped up and shaken down before the 25th.

June 18, 2009 - Last Wednesday, Jordan made his way to Marne to race at Berlin Raceway. He had a tough time with the car during qualifying, so he started the race at the back of the pack. But, he charged his way up the field, and ended up finishing 10th overall and received the "Hard Charger Award". His next planned race is back at Berlin on the 20th. Hope to see you there.

June 17, 2009  -  Had to take Bristol off the schedule.  Not because we didn't want to race there, but ASA took it off the schedule.  That is one race we were looking forward to going to.  Not sure what we will replace with it, if at all.  Stay tuned!

May 28,2009 - Jordan finally graduated from High School last week Thursday the 21st.  A very exciting night for Jordan.  This past weekend we raced at Grundy County in Morris, IL and it was one of those nights that the yellow flag was thrown alot.  Then it was finally thrown for Jordan with 10 laps to go.  He just got up to 8th place right after a restart and tagged the backstretch wall when he got a little loose and that was the end of our night.  Very disappointing with all the cautions we managed to dodged the entire night.  As they say, "That's Racing and better luck next time".

May 7, 2009 - Check the schedule for changes. Added Wednesday June 10 at Berlin to the schedule and had to take off May 17 at Toledo in the ARCA car. Jordan graduates on May 21 and he skipped racing last weekend to go to his senior prom. Didn't want to miss prom again.

April 26, 2009 - We raced at Toledo Speedway in the Northern ASA series opener yesterday.  We finished 10th out of 27 cars in the starting line up, it was a blistering hot weekend with practice on Friday and racing on Saturday.  It seemed nice to be back at a track and going 100 mph doing what we love to do.  RACE!!!

April 5, 2009 -  Dahlke Motorsports will be heading to Kzoo for practice Saturday April 12th.  Hoping to bring the ASA and the ARCA cars down to put a few laps on them.  We have changed the race schedule some so be sure that you check the schedule often before jetting off to watch Jordan race.  We wouldn't want you to get someplace and not find him there.  We have a pretty busy spring with Jordan graduating from high school in about 6 weeks.  We took the May 2nd race off the schedule so Jordan can go to prom this year.  Last year he raced the weekend of prom, but has decided not to this year.  We are pretty excited about our season coming up, with the new car and a few races in the ARCA and CRA series.  Of course the majority of his races are still in the ASA series.  We race at Berlin 3 times this year, once in each class.  So if you find you can't get out of town to see him, stop on up to Berlin and come down after the races.  We love talking with the fans.  We are hoping not to change any of the other races on the schedule, but our budget is limited and sponsors are hard to find these days.  If you know of any business that is looking to sponsor a race team, please contact Larry at Dahlkemotorsports@yahoo.com.

Hope to see you at the track!

Feb 17, 2009 - The shop is clean and the ARCA car is on the hoist.  Without the Race for Kids Sake competition this winter, it's been quiet.  The fun competition has been missed, but at the same time it has been nice.  It's hard to believe that the Daytona race is already done and we'll be racing in about 2 months.  Time sure does fly!  The schedule is done, subject to change, depending on where Larry wants to race off to.  We have 4 new tracks that Jordan has not ever raced at on the schedule this year.  That's always exciting! :)  Taylor, Jordan's sister, has been doing some Arena Racing this winter, and has been doing pretty good.  Sunday she won the C Main and then started 2nd in the Top Dog Race.  She didn't fair so well in that race.  It was the first time I have seen her on her roof. oops!  She is done racing the indoor arena racing for the season, but possible will be racing at Kalamazoo Speedway this summer in the Sportsman Class.  It is just a racing rumor right now, but sounds promising.

Dec 13, 2008 - Putting the interior in the new ASA car today that Larry and Jordan have been building.  Planning to get that car on the track some in the 2009 season, but Larry is very fond of his Howe car. 

Nov 29, 2008 - Went to Indianapolis to the auction at the Indiana Convention Center and bought an ACRA short track car from the Great Clips team.  Going to get some seat time doing laps and planning on racing 3 ARCA/REMAX series races in the 2009 series.

Nov 8, 2008 - Preparing race cars for the 2009 season.  Also working on sponsorship for next year.  The 2008 race season was a challenging one without a primary sponsor, but hoping to change that for next season.

Oct 18, 2008 -  Last race of the year.  Some unfortunate incidents at the Boyne had Jordan starting at the tail of the feature.  It was a very cold race night.  The car went away with about 30 laps to go, which means it was difficult to drive.  Although it was not one of our better nights, Jordan started 28th and finished 14th.  That gave him the "Hard Charger Award," for advancing the most positions in the race.  That was a nice bonus.

Aug 26, 2008 - Still working on finishing both cars!  Hopefully they'll be done soon! :)

Aug 9, 2008 - WOW!!!  That's the only word that describes Bristol.  What an awesome place.  We are hoping to go back in a couple of weeks to watch the Cup cars race.  It's a very exciting place.  A little history before I go into what happened at Bristol.  It goes with out saying that Jordan has had a little bit of a rough season this year. Jordan had never crashed a race car or even spun one out on his own...until this year.  You might say, he hadn't raced enough the prior 3 seasons, but I think so.  He raced a full season of Pure Stocks then a full season of Outlaw Late Models, where there were always 25 to 35 cars weekly in the Late Model class.  You could say he ran around at the back of the pack, but that wasn't the case either, he finished 10th place in points and was Rookie of the Year in the late model class and finish 3rd and was Rookie of the year in the Pure Stock class also.  I would say he's been very blessed!  He is still blessed.  The 2008 season has been very educational for Dahlke Motorsports and still we can say we have had fun, even if we have had a few wrecked cars this season.  So, I bet you know I'm going to say that we wrecked this past weekend at Bristol.  We did, twice.  Once in practice on our own, and once during the race, with a lot of help.  At the time, Jordan was running 2nd, and he said the car was good.  He felt he could have challenged the leader a few times during the first 100 laps, but his crew chief (dad), was telling him to, "just ride,  let him open the holes, it's a long race, we don't have to be there until the end."  I so wish that the car behind us was being told the same thing, but it was very obvious that he wasn't, and he wasn't content to, "just ride" this early in the race.  Needless to say, our car is pretty much junk.  It's true, Bristol does eat race cars.  We did have a great car, was on the top of the list after the first practice session.  Then when we were doing a mock qualifying run, and put it in the wall, the crew, (thanks Goo, Dad, Holly and Gary, and the help of the Finley Race Team) after 5 hours had the car back together and ready to go the next morning.  Qualified 8th out of I believe 31 cars, and started on the pole.  It was really cool, and although it doesn't have a happy ending, it was another educational weekend and we can definetly say that we learned a few things from the experience.

Now the bad news, we have two wrecked race cars in the shop and a new one that is not put together yet.  We are way over our budget already this year, because we didn't get the primary sponsor that we were hoping for.  Not sure if or when we will be back this year.  But if I know Larry and Jordan, we will try!  See ya at the races, with or without a car!

July 29, 2008 - ASA Late Model car going to Bradford White Annual Car Show today; visiting with the community. Working on finishing Outlaw Late Model car to finish and race locally between ASA shows.

July 19, 2008 - Things were looking great at Salem. The high banks didn't seem to bother Jordan much. In the last practice session on Friday, Jordan was third fastest. Qualified 10th, was running 6th with 40 laps to go when a large chunk of asphalt from the track lodged itself into Jordan's radiator. The damage was too great to fix and the 37 had to call it a night. Finished a disappointing 14th, but the car is in one piece, which is always a good thing. Looking forward to Bristol.

July 12, 2008 - Bummer at Berlin! The night started off well but half way through the race Jordan and another driver got up close and personal to the front wall!  So it's back to the shop to repair the late model we just put the motor in. :(  Hopefully this weekend at Salem will go smoother.

July 4, 2008 - Due to schedule changes we will not be racing at I-70 this weekend.  Hopefully will be making it to more local races.

June 28, 2008 - Finally some good luck came back!! We had a great day at Mansfield and finished 8th!! Hopefully this streak will continue!  Thanks for all the help and support!

June 14, 2008 - Hurray for a home track!! We had a great night at berlin, Qualified 12th and finished 9th! Hope to see you at our next race where we plan on more top ten finishes!! Or even more wins! :)

May 24, 2008 - Well we're not setting the world on fire, but we are learning a lot and having fun!! We finished 16th this weekend at Grundy county.

May 17, 2008 - After fixing our motor troubles we took the car down to Kalamazoo Speedway!  Nothing to brag about, but nothing to complain about. We finished 6th in our heat race and 13th in the A feature.  The car ran well and we had fun!!

May 10, 2008 - Jordan's first time at Berlin Raceway we got our second checkered of the year at in our heat race.  We were just really starting to get used to the track but had motor troubles and had to pull the car in around lap 30. :(  We hope to be back at Berlin June 14th for the ASA Challenge series.

May 3, 2008 - Kalamazoo Speedway rained out :(

April 25, 2008 - See below article from ASA website!!

By Matt Prieur-ASA Late Model Series

The Middleville, Michigan driver took the lead on Lap One after a major 5-car pile-up on the opening lap.

Dahlke moved up to the outside of the front row on the restart and immediately took the lead from new pole-sitter, Josh Cave on the start! From their, the Middleville, Michigan teenager walked away with over a 2 1/2 second lead on Cave to score the win and the coveted 25th starting spot in the GunBroker.com 100 Presented by ASI Limited.

“This is really exciting to be able to win any race in this ASA Late Model Series, especially here at O’Reilly Raceway Park!” The excited teenager said in victory lane. “My Mom, Dad make this all possible for me, and I can’t thank them enough!” He ended.
