Home Page
Welcome to the official website of Joe Warren and JW Motorsports; the home of the #11 crate late model. The car is a 2004 Lazer; powered by a 602 Chevy 350 HP crate motor and regularly competes at Delaware International Speedway. Please take a few minutes to check out our sponsors at the bottom of this page. They are very important to our race team and we would appreciate it if you would keep them in mind if you can use their services.

It's official!! The last points show of the year was rained out, so I am a repeat Champion! I won 7 features in all; 1 at Potomac, and 6 at DIS to take the championship by 165 points. I was very fortunate to have the year I did. I would like to thank all my sponsors, fans, friends, and family for their on-going support of me and my passion.
There are still a few races left that I will be attending; two being at Georgetown Speedway on Oct 11th, and Nov. 14th. Also, we will be running again at DIS' Delaware Championships two day show on Nov. 7th & 8th. I hope to see you there!

Georgetown Speedway, why can't we just get along?... Another rough night at Georgetown. It was mix-n-match night at Georgetown Speedway. The crate late models were matched against the crate modifieds. It started off well for me. I started third in my heat, and by lap 2, I was firmly in the lead. I had a good set up under the car. I won the third heat by nearly a half-straight-away.
And then I redrew for the feature... My how fast it can change. I drew the 11th starting spot. I know, my car number is 11, I am starting 11th, and it is Oct. 11th. It should be good, right? No, I knew I was in trouble when I drew it. The track wasn't in great shape, and the late models lined up in the inside groove with the modifieds in the outside groove. Well, it took us more than 5 restarts to get one lap in with 2 being red flagged, and I was one of them. On about the 5th restart, two cars in the front row got together and got turned around blocking the front stretch and caused a big pile-up with me being in the middle AND on the bottom! Yes, I somehow ended up with a modified on my roof! I don't quite know how, but it happened. If someone has a video or some good pictures, I'd love to see them. I wish I could shake that dark cloud over me when I go through those gates. Thankfully, and Luckily, the car looked worse than it was. Mostly sheetmetal, but also the radiator and carburetor took the hit. The frame and suspension seem to be unharmed. I have three weeks to get it fixed for the Delaware Championships at DIS and then we are done for the season!

DIS- Wow, what a great weekend. I finally won DIS' Delaware State Dirt Track Championship weekend. Daytime racing can be quite hair-pulling! Not this weekend. I unloaded fast right out of the trailer. I set fast time in qualifying, which put me starting on the pole in the second heat on Saturday. I won my heat and was slated to start 2nd in the feature on Sunday. I was a little concerned, because in the past my weekend would start out similar, but turn for the worse on Sunday. I usually struggle to hit the right combination on the heavily rubbered down track. This year was different, I knew my car was good within a few laps after I took the lead on lap 6. I went on to win by more than 10 seconds; that's over half a track! I had a good weekend! I also got to judge the first annual Ms. Wheel2wheel contest. Congratulations Ms. Megan Mullins!
Thank you, again, to all my sponsors, crew, friends, and followers. We had a year to remember. We won all the big local races; the William Cathell Memorial, Camp Barnes race, Lankford Sysco night, Championship show, along with a few more. We won 8 total races and won the track title for the second year in a row. That's 3 out of 4 titles that the crate late models have been in existence at DIS! I will definitely keep working hard, because I know how easily I could get behind. I look forward to seeing you all at the banquet!
