2005: Haers replaced inaugural ‘Elite 11’ selection Danny Johnson after ranking fifth in the point standings through the initial three Advance Auto Parts SDS shows. He sandwiched a sparkling third-place finish at Lowe’s (NC) Dirt Track between a ninth-place tally in the tour opener at Rolling Wheels (NY) Raceway and 11th at Cayuga County Fair (NY) Speedway going into the eventual rain-delayed June 14 Lernerville (Pa.) Speedway showdown as an E11 member. Despite going winless in ‘05, Haers totaled nine top-10 Series finishes to settle into eighth-place in the final Mr. DIRT standings. He placed third in the season-ending big-block standings at Canandaigua (NY) Speedway.

Career: In being honored in 2004 as DIRT NorthEast’s top big-block rookie, Hears finished 12th in overall Hoosier Tire-Sunoco Race Fuels Mr. DIRT Modified points (4 top-10 finishes). He registered a pair of feature wins to bring his DIRT big-block count to three and also owns one in 358-Modified competition and 14 in the DIRT Sportsman ranks. He has also claimed two track point championships in 358-Modified (Cayuga County) and Sportsman (Canandaigua, Rolling Wheels) divisions during the new millennium.
