Farmington, MO – (September 12) -- Action was at the top of the pile on Saturday evening at St Francois County Raceway. Rainouts of the prior weeks feature event were part of the card. In addition to the make up events, the B-Mods were on hand for their last visit of 2009. Saturday was also the last $5.00 grandstand night for the year
The night was loaded from the start with great racing. Show Me Rent To Own, the featured sponsor of the night, came prepared with their staff and gave away a new DVD player.
Tommy Worley, Jr, made it five in a row as he destroyed the field in the Sprint Division feature. Kent Buckley would take the lead on the start with Joey Montgomery and Worley in chase. Worley found an opening to get around Montgomery in turn three. Once clearing Montgomery the chase to the front was on.

Worley was chased to the finish by Joey Montgomery, opening night winner Casey Barnhouse, Tim Montgomery and pole setter and dash winner Kent Buckley.
Modified division found a familiar face in the circle. Brent Thompson, the defending champion at SFCR, had his work cut out for him during the feature. Not only did he outrace the competition.

Thompson had to deal with early leader Matt Eaton. Eaton looked as if he had the car to beat, but mechanical failures cashed him in later in the event. Driving with a broke tie rod, Eaton battled for position with Jeremy Greenwalt, Billy Smith and Kent Nations. Thompson then had his hands full with his rival Billy Smith and points leader David Shepard. Taking whatever line was necessary, these three put on a show for the fans. Thompson again was the winner, Smith finished second, Shepard claimed third, Jeremy Greenwalt fourth and Kent Nations completes the top five.
The B-Mods were in the house for the final time in 2009 and Brad McKennon took the honors by besting Brian Richards.
