cautions on lap 3, Ryan Watt went from third to the lead on the
restart with Wade Hendrickson taking second place. Hendrickson scooted
by Watt on lap 6 to take the lead. Jimmy Chester began to show his
muster by gaining third place from Truppi on lap 7. As Hendrickson
began to edge away from the field, Watt and Chester were in a close
duel for the second spot. The caution lights illuminated again on lap
16 as Steve Durand developed a flat tire. As the green flag waved
again, Hendrickson kept his advantage. Two laps later, Richie Pratt,
Jr. drove by Truppi for fourth place. Chester and Pratt began a battle
for third that would have an unfortunate ending on lap 21 as the car
of Pratt, Jr. would flip violently in turn three. After the red flag

of the event and was only slowed down by one caution flag to win his
first race of 2009. Brett Ballard took second place with the third
spot going to Kevin Collins. Sean Gunther came home in fourth with
