IT'S TIME TO RACE!!

February 14, 2009 Christopher leads the Winners on Night 8 at New Smyrna Speedway NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL (February 14, 2009) – Some of best short track racing anywhere took place with the running of the Richie Evans Memorial 100 for the Tour-type Modifieds as part of Night Eight of the 43rd Annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway (FL) on Friday night. Ted Christopher and Ronnie Silk exchanged the lead several times in the closing laps of the race, with Christopher taking the victory by a thin margin. It was the fourth time in his career that Christopher won the prestigious event and the third Tour-type Modified race that he has won at New Smyrna during the 2009 running of the series. Finishing behind Christopher and Silk in the Richie Evans Memorial 100 were Bobby Grigas, Matt Hirschman and Kevin Goodale. Wayne Anderson won Friday night’s 30-lap Super Late Model feature over David Rogers, Jack Landis, Jeff Choquette and Jeremy Colangelo. Unofficially, this will tie the Super Late Model point standings between Jeff Choquette and David Rogers with only one night of racing left. The Crate Late Models ran their final event of this year’s World Series with Stephen Nasse winning the extended distance 50-lap event. David Wagner finished second and is the 2008 New Smyrna World Series of Short Track Racing Crate Late Model champion. Jimmy Blewett won the SK Modified feature race and remains defeated in that division during the 2009 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. His current win streak is set at seven. In other racing action at New Smyrna, Travis Hanson won the Limited Late Model feature event and Austin Pickens won the FASCAR Pro Truck main event. The ninth and final night of Florida Speedweeks at New Smyrna Speedway will take place Saturday, February 14th. The Tour-Type Modifieds, SK Modifieds, Crate Late Models and Late Model Trucks will all see action. The night will be highlighted though by the running of the Pete Orr Memorial 100 for the Super Late Model division. The green flag for the first feature event is scheduled for 7:30pm ET.
