Starting from the inside 3rd row in heat number 1, Kelsey Racing and the #0K would have to finish in the top 2 to get into the redraw or the 3rd position to secure a starting spot in the A-Main.

Although Bill drove a solid race, a 5th place finish would send the team into the 1st B-Main later in the night to try and qualify for the A-Main.

Starting on the outside of row number 1 in the B-Main, Bill took off like a wild man and never looked back from the drop of the green flag. Although pressed by the #36 of Jr. Karcz for the 10 lap race, the #0K held the lead the whole race and picked up another checkered flag and securing a 17th starting spot in the A-Main.

With a 24 car field for the A-Main, it increased the chances of a wreck happening. Staring on the inside of row 8, was not in the middle, but as Bill was making forward progress and it happened.

#21 Hit the back stretch wall collecting the #36. Bill once again put the car into a spin on purpose to avoid the wreck which took place in front of him, but the #2 car slammed hard into the drivers side of the car crushing in the door and left front fender.

Bill was forced to pit to repair the fender hanging on the tire and would restart dead last due to pitting.

A beat up #0K car was able to pass a couple cars before the checked flag would fly on a 17th place finish.

This resulted in a top 10 yearly points position for the #0K Kelsey Racing Team at Seymour Speedway with Driver Bill Kelsey. Bill was the second highest placing rookie, missing out on the 9th position held by the #17S, also a rookie in the IMCA Class!

The Kelsey Racing team had a blast for the 2009 season, only missing a couple feature events for the whole year. 3 heat race wins and 1 B-Main victory.
