3 time’s a charm for Ballou
Robert Ballou made his third trip to the Burg
on Saturday, May 2. The third time was
certainly a charm for Ballou who would win
the feature and won for the third time at The
Lawrenceburg Speedway. 22 Lawrenceburg
Chevrolet Sprint Cars would start the feature
with Coleman Gulick and Brady Short on the
front row. At the drop of the green flag, Brett
Burdette flipped end over end down the front
stretch in a scary looking crash. Mark Perry III
was also involved. Both drivers were able to
get out of their cars, but Burdette would later
be transported to a local hospital. Once the
green flag waved again, Short took command
of the race early on as he pulled out to a
comfortable lead on the rest of the field.
With the rest of field beginning to settle in,
Robert Ballou began reeling in Short. Ballou
caught Short on lap 8 and power slid into turn
1 underneath Short and took the lead. Ballou
was running such a fast pace he quickly
caught the back of the pack, and began
lapping the back of the pack. Ballou had a
couple of close calls while racing in lapped
traffic which allowed Short to close the gap,
but Ballou was able to hold on, and take the
victory. Following Ballou across the line were
Short, Hunter Schuerenberg, Nick Faas, and
Coleman Gulick. Heat races were won by
Gulick, Short, and Ballou. The Lawrenceburg
Chevrolet Sprint Cars return to the
Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday May 9.

Surprise! Kramer wins again!
Joey Kramer dominated again on Saturday
night in his Budweiser UMP Modified to pick
up his second win in 2009. He continues to
impress fans everywhere he goes. Even to
those that would not call Kramer their favorite
driver, one cannot deny how good Kramer is.
Each and every time he has come to
Lawrenceburg he is the car to beat and for
good reason because he usually wins. This
night was no different. He started from the
pole alongside long time standout driver Daryl
Herbert. Kramer drover hard into turn 1 at
the start and admitted he slid in front of
Herbert coming out of 2 to take the lead. As
we have seen so many times before, Kramer
motored away from the rest of the field. He
built a lead of almost a half a lap while dicing
through slower traffic. The race behind
Kramer was a good one between Herbert, and
former track Champions, Brad Weick, Jeff
Harris, and Rick Corbin. Weick, and Herbert
raced back and forth for the runner up spot
before Weick was able to secure the position
and hold on to finish second to Kramer.
Weick, Herbert, Harris, and Corbin followed
Kramer across the line. Heat races were won
by Kramer, Herbert, Weick, and Corbin. Chuck
Griffis won the B-Main. The Budweiser UMP
Modifieds return to The Lawrenceburg
Speedway on Saturday, May 16.

"AMSA Mini Sprint Nationals"
Henning goes 2 for 2!
Rod, “Hot Rod” Henning came into the
Saturday night feature as the man to beat for
the 2009 AMSA Nationals. He didn’t take long
to show everyone why. Henning started on
the outside front row of the 20 lap AMSA
feature and jumped to the lead on lap 1. It
looked like Henning would have nother easy
victory at Lawrenceburg, but as the race
reached the half-way point, “Hot Rod” had to
worry about the car right behind him who was
trying both high and low to make the pass.
That car was driven by Beau Stewart. He
caught Henning, and tried for several laps to
pass Henning on the high side, and the low
side. As fans have seen many times before,
the 28 car driven by Henning was strong and
this race was no different. Henning would
pull away from Stewart in the final couple laps
and win by 4-5 car lengths over Beau Stewart,
Ryan Braughton, Dustin Hueston, and Kevin
Roberts, jr. Heat race winners were Stewart,
Henning, and Howard McCormick. Ricky
Taylor won the B-Main. The AMSA mini-
sprints return to the Lawrenceburg Speedway
on Saturday, May 9.
