Chupp and Owens take the Checkers at GIS


Randall Chupp waves from Victory Lane

Randall Chupp continued his hot start to the 2009 season by making an impressive run through the field for the finale of the Super Bowl of Racing at Golden Isle Speedway. Chupp started at the rear of the field and took the lead on lap 37 and ran away from the field. With finishes of second, second, and first, Chupp is off to a great start for 2009. One driver that, according to reports, is not so lucky is Chris Madden. Madden was involved in an incident with leader Scott Bloomquist which damaged both cars, and Madden may have broken his wrist. The top ten looked like this:
1. Randle Chupp
2. John Blankenship
3. Matt Miller
4. Kelly Boen
5. Josh Richards
6. Dan Schlieper
7. Scott Bloomquist
8. Steve Francis
9. Rick Eckert
10. Tim Fuller


In other on track action, Jimmy Owens picked up his second straight SuperBowl Championship (yeah I don't know how that worked) by picking up a shootout race with the other top 10 in points from the week. Also, a tip of the cap to the fans at GIS who donated over $3000.00 to the Tim McCreadie support fund. McCreadie was injured in a wreck at the Chili Bowl, and has a severe back injury but according to doctors should make a full recovery.

We now have a couple of nights off until Easy Bay kicks off on Tuesday. Go CARDINALS!!!!
