Season Ends with 8th-Place Finish at Lorain

We ended our 2009 season on a high note with an 8th-place finish at Lorain County Speedway in September. With the impending tire change in Legends racing, we elected to finish the season on the same set of tires in which we began the season - 14 races in total.

The night was quite eventful, as the car was crazy-loose, particularly when entering the turns. At one point, I spun into the infield after friend Dave Spotton and I were avoiding a crash and tried to occupy the same portion of the track. The second trip into the infield was a result of being cut off by a car entering turn one, and I completely around turns one and two in the grass, and never lost a position in the process.

I was very pleased with our 9th place overall finish in the series point standings, and a 4th place finish in the Masters division standings. In 14 seasons of racing, this is our second-best points finish. Special thanks to my wife Rebecca, for supporting me, and friend and fellow racer Dave Spotton, who has been a huge help over the lase couple of seasons.
