Thunder Raceway June 13th, 2009
NADCAR Points Race #7
6/13 - 16 cars showed up for battle Saturday night at Thunder Raceway. The very quick trophy dash was taken by Pat Henesey out of Flagstaff, AZ.
The heat races followed with Tim Cotherman taking the first one, followed by Mike Bracy and Heather Henesey. Steve Kapaun, all the way from Surprise, AZ took heat #2 with "the pinball" car of Mike Witt finishing in 2nd. Pat Henesey got his second win of the night in heat #3, he drove through the pack to finally pass his wife Helen for the win.
The Main Event was a huge crowd pleaser! The green to checker race had Helen Henesey leading the first 3 laps, until George Cooke stole the lead coming out of turn 2. The rest of the pack was coming fast, with Tim Cotherman, Pat Henesey, and "The Wild" MIke Bracy all fighting for position. For the last 5 laps, the field was trying to catch Mr. Cooke, Pat Henesey was working the high line, Tim Cotherman was running low and Helen Henesey was fighting for her spot right in the middle. George Cooke took the white flag, with 2 lapped cars quickly approaching, George dove low and ended up loosing all power when another car ran into the back of his car. It was a mad dash by the pack to the checkered flag, 3 and 4 wide with lapped traffic mixed in. The crowd was on their feet as Tim Cotherman brought his 40 ford Truck across the line inches ahead of Pat and then Helen Henesey. Mike Bracy pulled out a 4th with Heather Henesey rounding off the top 5. Word from the stands is that a blanket would have covered the top 7 finishers as well as 3 lapped cars coming out of turn 4 for the finish. Very exciting!!!
6/13 - The Team Henesey consistency is paying off as Pat, Heather, and Helen are all leading the points championship. The Coconino Motors sponsored trucks continue to run in the top of the main events this year and rack up the points toward yet another championship for the Henesey family. NADCAR Membership has reached 49 total this year already.
