JORDAN BLAND TO PURSUE OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES... (March
16, 2011)
With the uncertain economy and lack of sponsorship, Jordan
Bland has decided recently to sell much of his equipment
and does not plan on racing during the 2011 season. Instead,
Jordan will pursue other business opportunities while trying
to build his racing program back where it needs to be to
race on a national level. There is no quit in the #12 team
and Jordan vows to be back behind the wheel of a Dirt Late
Model sooner than later. The Bland Motorsports team thanks
all of their great sponsors, fans, and friends for all of
their support and looks forward to seeing all of you at
the racetrack again very soon!

#12 TEAM CLOSES
OUT SEASON AT ELDORA (September
13, 2010)
Jordan
Bland and the Bland Motorsports team rolled into the famed Eldora
Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio over the September 10-11 weekend
for the 40th Annual 'World 100.' A stout field of 134 competitors
converged on the "Big E" to compete in the $43,000
to win crown jewel event. Jordan started off the weekend by
posting the forty-eighth fastest lap in the two-round qualifying
session on Friday night. Unfortunately for the Concord, North
Carolina transplant, he was involved in an early heat race incident
on Saturday evening that relegated him to a sixteenth place
finish and cost him a chance to advance into the 100-lap 'World
100.' Complete results from Jordan's final race of 2010 can

BLAND TACKLES SAS-EAST
DOUBLEHEADER! (September
7, 2010)
The Bland Motorsports team returned to Dirt Late Model competition
on September 4-5 with a pair of Southern All Stars East Series
races in the Carolina's. On Saturday night, the Harris Motor
Speedway in Harris, North Carolina played host to a $4,000 to
win program. Jordan Bland unfortunately broke a driveshaft and
hit the wall during the 40-lap A-Main, which resulted in a disappointing
seventeenth place finish. At the Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney,
South Carolina on Sunday evening, Jordan notched a top ten finish
in the $10,000 to win 'Hall of Fame Race,' as he crossed underneath
the checkers in the ninth position. Complete results from both
SAS-East showdowns can be found online at www.southernallstareastseries.com.

Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky on August 13-14 for the
annual running of the 'North/South 100.' The Lucas Oil Late
Model Dirt Series once again sanctioned the $50,000 to win crown
jewel event and a huge standing-room-only crowd was on hand
at the Cincinnati area venue. Jordan kicked-off the weekend
by posting the fourteenth quickest lap in his group during time
trials on Friday night. Unfortunately, Jordan was unable to
transfer into Saturday's 100-lap main event after finishing
ninth in his stacked heat race and choosing not to start his
B-Main. Full results from Florence can be located online at
