Dirt on Dirt's Top Five Performances of 2009

WOW -- Jason made several highlights from http://www.dirtondirt.com/ -
including their top five performances of 2009.


Remember to check out the video reels on the site too -- especially the top bloopers of 2009, you'll find Jeep performing a "shark" attack, while dirtondirt is trying to interview Jason. Other videos include highlights of Feger in 2009 victories.

Here's the Top Five Performances of 2009 from the leading dirt late model website, http://www.dirtondirt.com/.


1) Jimmy Mars
at the North-South 100, where he made up a straightaway deficit the final six laps to stun Don O’Neal at Florence (Ky.) Speedway on Aug. 8. What was Mars thinking? "Oh my god, this is going to happen on the last lap. And it did for his second $50,000 payday in an eight-day stretch.

2) Jason Feger

at Eldora Speedway, Lowe’s Motor Speedway and Lawrenceburg Speedway, where he daringly showed again and again why he’s called the Highside Hustler. Mark Richards of Rocket Chassis called Feger’s heat race victory at Eldora’s Dream XV, “most impressive cushion run I’ve ever seen.”

3) Randle Chupp

at Golden Isles Speedway’s Super Bowl V finale, where he went worst-to-first in a 50-lapper for a $10,000 victory against a stacked 24-car field that included six World 100 winners. "I wasn't going to be denied, said Chupp, who had started on the pole the previous two nights.

4) Jimmy Owens

at Eldora Speedway’s Dream XV, where he went from third-to-first on the 73rd lap passing Scott Bloomquist and Tony Stewart - and then survived smoke-signaled engine woes the rest of the way. “I was afraid the motor was gonna blow up any minute,” said Owens, who earned $100,000. “I finally just said, “You know what? If it blows, it blows.”

5) Brian Birkhofer

at the 17th annual Show-Me 100, where he lapped all but six drivers and won by more than three-quarters of a lap in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event. "At one point tonight, I didn't realize I was that far ahead, so it may have gotten boring for the crowd ... but believe me, I was trying my hardest,” said Birkhofer, who earned $40,000.

Merry Christmas !!

Last year's Christmas card...

'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the stands.
Not a creature was stirring,

not even the fans.

The stockings where hung,

on the pit cart with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas,

soon would be there,

The pit crews were nestled,

all snug in the rigs.
While visions of victories

danced in their heads.

When out on the track,
there arose such a thunder,
I sprang from the rig

to see what was out yonder.

When what to my wondering eyes

should appear,
but a miniature track,

with eight fast cars
shifting gears.

The drivers were,

so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment the track

must be dry slick.

More rapid than eagles,

the late models came.

I whistled and shouted,

and called them by name;
"Go Feger! Now Sheppard!

Now, Babb and Van Wormer!
On, Frankie! On, Brandon!

On, Korte and of course
Billy Moyer!

To the top of the track!

Near the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!

Dash away all!"

The crowd sprang to stand,

as the cars neared the checkers.
And away they all flew,

like comets at night.
But I heard the winner exclaim,

as he drove out of sight.

"Merry Christmas to all,

and to all a Good Night!"
