IT'S TIME TO RACE!!

February 15, 2009 David Rogers Wins Pete Orr Memorial 100 at New Smyrna Speedway NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL (February 14, 2009) – The 43rd Annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway (FL) has concluded with the ninth night of racing closing the series out on Saturday night. The night was highlighted by a near-flawless performance by Orlando’s David Rogers in the Pete Orr Memorial 100 Super Late Model race. Rogers, who entered the night tied with Jeff Choquette in the World Series SLM point standings, started in the sixth position, but was leading by the time that the race was only five laps old. He withstood pressure from several challengers and won over Tim Russell, Jack Landis, Wayne Anderson and Johanna Long. With the victory, Rogers locked up the World Series Super Late Model championship Ted Christopher also clinched a World Series championship in style. The Connecticut driver won his fourth Tour-type Modified race of the World Series. Christopher faced heavy pressure from new Hampshire’s Andy Seuss throughout the race, but Seuss had a tire go flat late in the race. Eric Goodale nipped Seuss at the finish line for second place while Jon McKennedy and Matt Hirschman rounded out the top five finishers. Jimmy Blewett won the SK Modified feature race and wrapped up a perfect week in that division during the 2009 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. He swept that division’s eight races of the series. In other racing action at New Smyrna, Jessica Murphy won the Limited Late Model feature event and Austin Pickens won the FASCAR Pro Truck main event.
