Thunder Raceway Sept 12th, 2009
NADCAR Points Race #15

9/18 - 20 Racers showed up for the last event of the season at Thunder Raceway. Keeping the points race tight, Mike Williams made the trip from Prescott, along with Randy Haugen and Russ Maurer coming all the way from Albuquerque, NM to join in on the fun. The night started out with a very fast JBJ Trucking Trophy Dash, Helen Henesey took the lead away from Matt Decker in turn 1 and never looked back. The Coconino Motors sponsored #10 truck out ran the quick Mike Bracy to the checker flag for the first win of the night! Heat 1 had Tim Cotherman out running a hard charging Pat Henesey to the checker. Heat 2 had the Phillips brothers, Frank #1 and Storm #5 leading the field to the green flag, they both couldn't hold off the fast Helen Henesey, who out drove Frank Phillips, Heather Henesey, and Storm Phillips to the checkered flag. Heat 3 also brought excitement to the Show Low crowd as Mike Williams proved he was a Points Champion contender out running Mike Bracy and Matt Decker to take the third heat win. The main event had a small mix up on the first lap, taking out the heat race winners Helen Henesey, Tim Cotherman and the always quick "Racey" Mike Bracy. The group settled down for a complete re-start and it was back to racing. Matt Decker charged ahead to take the lead. He started to check out just ahead of Heather Henesey and the aggressive Mike Williams. Decker couldn't get a hold of the track as his sedan looped it coming out of turn 2. This brought the yellow out, letting Mike Williams re-start the field ahead of Heather Henesey, who wasn't going to give him an easy victory. Russ Madden followed in 3rd just ahead of points leader #12 Pat Henesey. Williams and Heather Henesey broke away from the field, Henesey giving it all she had to get around the flawless Mike Williams and was unsuccessful. Mike took the win with Heather Henesey coming in a close second, Pat Henesey got around Russ Madden to take 3rd, with John Ogden holding on to round out the top 5. The battle for the Championship is getting tight. 1st - Pat Henesey (853)(top 12 races only), 2nd - Mike Williams (784), 3rd- Tim Cotherman (726), 4th Heather Henesey (684), 5th Helen Henesey (643). With three races left in the series and the new points structure, the top three spots in the championship are still up for grabs. Next race is at Prescott Valley Raceway on Oct. 3rd.
