Old Dominion Speedway - NASCAR Whelen All-American Series
Mini Modified 8-8-2009

After what would prove to be a stressful week, we would be hampered with set-up issues for tonight’s event and qualified second.

Dave took the green flag out of turn 4 and quickly started his charge to the front. The #00 would hold off the #11 until lap 6, when unfortunately, he blew his engine. Dave would gain spots throughout the race and found himself glued to the back bumper of the #11. Dave attempted a couple times to get around the #11, but it was not meant to be. He would finish the night in second.

With only three races remaining, this years Mini Mod division finds itself in a close points race. Dave is the current point leader, with Paul Green knocking at his door. Both drivers are worthy competitors, who have helped each other on and off the track throughout the year! Their genuine respect for each other as drivers, will prove to be their crowning moment as the season comes to a close.


Paul Green #11 and Dave Daniels #34

In Mini Stocks, Paul Green charged to his fifth win of the year. Green started second and took the lead from Scotty Gore after Gore blew an engine in lap six. Green then held off Dave Daniels for the remainder of the race.

"I've got to credit Dave Moon for this win," Green said.

"Paul drove the wheels off his car," Daniels said.

Keith Riley was third, Kevin Davis fourth and Carte fifth.
