Dag Lövaas (born 25 February 1951 in Holmestrand, Norway) is a former international motorcycle speedway rider,[1] who reached the finals of the Speedway World Championship in 1974.[2]
His brother Ulf Lövaas was also a speedway rider.[3]
Lövaas was twice Norwegian champion, winning the Norwegian Individual Speedway Championship in 1973 and 1974, as a NMK Tønsberg rider.[4]
In Great Britain, he won the British League in 1973 with Reading Racers finishing with the 5th highest average in the league. When Reading closed for a year he moved to the Hackney Hawks in 1974, finishing the season with the highest recorded average in the Hawks' history.[5]
He then rode for Oxford Rebels (photo) in 1975,[6] winning the Midland Cup and then moved with the team and the promoters Danny Dunton and Robert Dugard to become the White City Rebels in 1976.[7] Dag had been keen to ride at Oxford, a track he loved and was disappointed at the move to the London stadium in 1976. On deciding not to return to England in 1977, White City were granted a 'Dag Lovaas (Rider Replacement)' facility for the entire season, in which they ended up as champions.
