After a week off due to a rain out, the Kelsey Racing team was fired up for racing to get back into the swing of things.

Starting on the outside of row number two in the fourth heat for the IMCA Stock Cars, Bill would drive the 0K stuck in a middle groove the car and drive both liked and made quick work of the top 3 cars pulling into the lead on lap 3.

Bill would pull away from the pack and pick up his 3rd IMCA heat race win of his rookie 2009 season.

With the heat race win, Bill would be included in the redraw and would start inside row 2 for the IMCA Stock Car feature event.

With a heavily dry and slick track that the setup on the car didn’t like, the 0K started to slide back in the pack with the high line making quick work of cars that were stuck on the bottom, where the 0K was.

A shot to the right front tire from the #17 would then send Bill into a spin and the caution flew.

No damage was done to the car but the 0K would end up restarting in the rear of the field and with only a couple laps remaining, would end up hanging in the back with the checkered flag flying.

The next race is Aug 23, 2009 at Seymour Speedway with a 6 PM start time. There are only 3 races remaining for the 2009 rookie season for Kelsey Racing with Bill still holding a top 10 spot in the points standings. Photos from DanLewisPhoto.net
