Rodney Melvin Wins the C.A.R.S. Fall Nationals
By Sean Franklin
(DuQuoin, IL) Rodney Melvin overcame a string of bad luck on Sunday and eventually found himself in Victory Lane at Tri-City Speedway after winning the Inaugural C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series Fall Nationals.
Rodney's bad luck began Sunday when his transporter had a flat tire on the way to the track, this was just the begining of his bad luck. After getting the tire fixed Melvin & crew were back on the road and with less than a mile to go the truck and trailer seperated while traveling down the interstate, resulting in the trailer sliding down a 60 foot embankment. With the help of a towtruck the trailer was retreived and Melvin was able to make it to the track.
Melvin was allready locked in to the dash for cash but when he arrived at the track he had already missed hot laps and the dash. He barely had time to unload the car, get buckled in before the feature started and with zero laps on the track on Sunday he was able to start from his seventh place starting spot and slowly pick cars off one by one until he was able to make the pass for the lead on lap seventeen. When the checkers waived on lap forty it was all Melvin picking up a cool $2,980 for his efforts. Melvin was followed to the line by Al Humphrey, Rylan Dagg, Mark Faust and Shannon Kuhn rounded out the top five. The "Dauminator" Zach Daum finished in the sixth position with C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series championship contender Jeff Walston finishing seventh. Nick Lyons finished in the eighth position after battling with brake problems all day. "Mr. Excitement" Danny Jolly took the ninth position and by doing so he gained enough points to win the first ever C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series Championship. Late Model veteran Mike Hammerle rounded out the top ten.

The list of people that helped is so long I don't know if I can remember them all but , My wife Amy has been to the races a much as she could with my two kids Kirsten 5 and Kailey almost two it was hard for her to come as much as I raced but she was behind me if not at the races but holding the fort down at home ,My car owner and partner Wormy Walker and Roger being from Kentucky and me in Illinois they couldn't help as much as they wanted but they made sure if I needed anything I had it oneway or another couldn't ask for a better car owner , Chad Burks #7 and his crew Tim,Ryan,Mike,Bill,Robert,Holly,Bobbi,Mindy,Max and Tina taking the time away from their car and helping me with mine, James Burrell and Dee helping me and going to the races when no one else could go ,Rodney Melvin let me pick at his brain all year on car setup ,Lee Thomason and Team Britton and Cockrum (Thingyrum) for loaning me a car when mine was down.
Sean Franklin,Al Kreke ,Rick Heck and all those involved with bringing the crates to local weekly racing a class that is suited for the "little guy" that don't have the 30grand to dump in anything let alone a motor , All of the race tracks that gave the C.A.R.S a chance this year Mt.Vernon,PIR,Tri-City,KLMS,Tri-State,WindyHollow,DuquoinFair,ClayCounty (sorry I missed that one ), last but not least all the CARS series drivers alot of great racecar drivers in this C.A.R.S family I hope we don't loose any and look forward to many more coming in. Jeff and crew are amazing and did an awsome job this season thank you for showing your true sportsmanship and coming down and getting all the internet forum bs straight !! Congratulations to you guys on your two track Championships !!
