Nov 07, 2009 – Whitwell Wins The First Leg Of the Carl Trimmer Classic

Tucson, Arizona (November 6th, 2009) – Tucson’s RC Whitwell wraps up the first night of the Carl Trimmer Classic. Whitwell took home the $1k by grabbing the 25-Lap preliminary night feature and setting himself up as the one to beat for the $2k finale tomorrow night.

32 late models were on hand for the opening night racing action that saw the USA Modified Ace, RC Whitwell win in the traveling SWDRA Late Model Division. Teams from Colorado, California, Canada and Arizona and I was told by Jill Anderson with SWDRA that 3-4 teams are expected tonight to join the 32 car field.

It will be a great night if you are a race fan to make your way to USA Raceway where you will pay for the whole seat, but you will only need the edge!

Here are the results of Modified Fall DIRT Nationals at Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, New Mexico as reported by Bryan Hulbert.

The top five in the A-Main on Friday transfer directly to the A-Main on Sunday. Racing action continues today with the Finals on Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Jeremy Payne, Johnny Scott, Rodney Sanders, Darrell Nelson and Kelly Shryock were the top five on Friday and secured their spot in the A-Main on Sunday.
