Races to Win Speedfest 2009
Brazelton, GA (January 26, 2009) – Casey Roderick was fast in the first half of the CRA Super Series Speedfest 2009 at Lanier National Speedway running out to strong lead from his pole position start. He led the first 100 laps easily so when a four was drawn for the invert at half way it seemed he would be able to overcome and race back to the lead. Kyle Busch had other ideas however, starting seventh, moving to second in the first 100 laps he restarted third.

Hogan finished second, Johanna Long third, Scott Hantz fourth, and Michael Pope fifth. Read more >>>  Southeast
News: January 10, 2009Icebowl XVIII: Talladega Short Track January 1-4, 2009 by Rocky Sinyard, MSA correspondent TST... "The Hornet's Nest"... a very special place for real race fans and many drivers as well. We were there for the 18th annual running of The Icebowl. I truly give thanks to the Almighty for allowing me to be there! The skies were heavy and gray all weekend as rain turned the TST pits into a quagmire. It was so dark that the lights were on by mid-afternoon both Saturday and Sunday. Nevertheless, as this weekend would prove, Mother Nature may drench a facility, but she cannot drown the hearts of race fans. This place was packed with spectators! And drivers! TST reported that there were 369 cars from 17 different states signed up for the event. There were over 90 Super Cars and over 80 Crates on hand as well as Limited Late Models, IMCA Modifieds, and Bombers to round out the show.
