Pierce Twelfth in Season-Ending
DTWC; Seventh in Final Points
Dunn Benson Motorsports
and Bobby Pierce to Part Ways after the DTWC
Dunn Benson Motorsports
and Bobby Pierce Rally Late to Win in Pittsburgh, PA "It was a perfect time to pit because it gave me a lot of race left to get to the front," stated Pierce. "After I pitted I thought I was a sitting duck because I was running in the back there for a while. Then I started running a top line further than I was before and that helped. When I caught the top two it looked like Sheppard was hanging on and Owens was going to be hard to beat. He is so good in these 100-lap races. Our car was better on longer runs. I didn't know how this race would turn out since this is my first time ever racing here. It is truly a momentum track and it turned out to be a great race. I hope we get to come back here next year," said Pierce. | team press release

Invade Peach State with Lucas Oil Series
Dunn Benson Motorsports
and Bobby Pierce Win 3rd Race of Season at Brownstown! "It's been a long year. We have been so close to getting some big wins and to finally get it feels really good," Pierce added. "I have got to thank my dad and Danny Myers. I didn't think what they suggested would work. I think I won a kid mods race here before, but this is obviously very special win, this track has such a great racing history. I know Mr. Lamm (Big C) was looking down on us this weekend and smiling. I can't thank all our sponsors enough that support us this year and make all this come together. I also have to thank my entire family, my girlfriend Maddie, and Kemp Lamm for the opportunity to drive for Dunn Benson Motorsports. Also thanks to all my crew, Danny, Kent, Richard and Wayne for all their hard work each week", stated Bobby Pierce. | team press release
Pierce Contends for
Knoxville Late Model Nationals Win By virtue of racking up the twenty-second highest point total during preliminary competition, Bobby earned the right to the outside of the eleventh row for the start of Saturday's 100-lap crown jewel spectacular. The Oakwood, Illinois standout then looked like a serious contender for the whopping $40,000 payday in the 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals,' as he vaulted all the way up to second and briefly took the lead from eventual winner Jimmy Owens with a slider. However, Bobby was later involved in a skirmish with Don O'Neal on lap 88 and was forced to salvage a seventh place performance in the extra-distance affair.

Pierce Performs Well
at Florence in Long North/South 100 Week At Florence on Friday evening, a double set of heat races with combined passing points were held to set the lineups for Saturday's $50,000 to win 'North/South 100.' Bobby finished third in his first heat race of the night, while he ran second in his final prelim. By virtue of accumulating the eleventh most passing points, the Oakwood, Illinois ace started Saturday's 100-lap crown jewel main event from the inside of the sixth row. Unfortunately, a broken shock early in the contest helped drop Bobby to a disappointing twenty-first place effort in the 'North/South 100.'
