DaleReynolds24 defends 2008 win with 2009 win!

Twenty Two BRAVE Nuffers came out for the Toyota Save Mart 350 at Infineon!! Not only that....both tracks enjoyed long green flag runs and minimal cautions....WOOHOOO!!! Let's hear from your 2009 Winna DaleReynolds !!!

"WHAT A RACE FOLKS! As the late great Benny Parsons would say “Man oh MAN!” What a race it was. And given the well-known fear that people had for running a road course race, many were not looking forward to this race. The seemingly difficult task to make right handed turns haunts many of the best racers. “You have to turn the wrong way” Dale Earnhardt Sr. used to say.

But as many as there are that hate turning right, there are those that love to turn right. And the one that knew how to turn right as well as left better than anyone else in the 2009 running of the Toyota Save Mart 350 for the Nuff Racing League was Mr. ThiZZliViD.

ThiZZ, formerly known as Reaper (which is how I will refer to him as in this article, since I don’t want to keep having to spell his new name) was simply OUTSTANDING! He was the only one running in the 1 minute and 10 second bracket the whole weekend. So with no surprise he seemed to be a fan favorite to win this race. Winning the pole position was just a re-enforcement of how strong he is.

With Reaper on the pole and 2007 winner of this event, Abbotttazz on his outside, (inside? Can we get an official ruling on this?) the race looked to be full of the same guys that were fast here last time around. The defending 2008 winner DaleReynolds was starting 3rd and another “ringer” the gift started fourth. Everyone get out your blankies, this ones gonna be a snoozefest right? Only the 4 same guys are going to duel it out? HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

The race started out with a few cautions right off the bat. Yup, here we go with people that can’t keep it on the track right? Wrong. After the 2nd caution of the race, Chucke disconnected due to him already having BAD lag… “His hind wheel was in my windshield!” Exclaimed Abbottazz. What a shame too. Chuck’s elusive first win, again, must come another day.

But after the disconnect, there was great racing by everyone! Kapalua led early through the first 2 cautions. On about lap 20 or so, thegift took the lead with Dale right behind him. Gift led for a few laps before handing it over to defending winner DaleReynolds. Dale led for a while, but little did he know at the time, Reaper was cruising his way through the pack. Once Dale got to the lead, Reaper simply let the car stretch its legs and caught and passed Dale with ease, erasing a 3 and a half second deficit in just over 2 laps?!

Reaper led pretty much most of the race then on, unless having to give it up on pit road and others staying out. Nobody else was simply fast enough to catch Reaper. Dale and Abbott ran 2nd and 3rd most of the race, which was very clean given the fact that it was a road course. And it wasn’t just one person. Even Dale caused a simple caution after spinning out in the esses in the middle of the race. But the cautions were again very minimal given the track they were on.

It looked as though Reaper would walk away with this one. Dale pitted with 25 laps to go and had his mind set that he was not stopping for anything the rest of the race. Everything was falling his way. Reaper was on older tires and handed the lead to Dale with about 10 laps to go. But low and behold, this IS a road course race after all!

xXmacklinXx (aka Kmack, which is how I will refer to him here too) spun out, bunching up the field. Dale did not pit, but Reaper, Abbottazz and Donald24 who is also a good road racer himself came in for fresh tires. The green flag came out with 7 laps to go and immediately going up the hill, I believe Kelley spun out causing another caution flag. Reaper and the “Fresh Tire Gang” gained one spot with that. Reaper now sat in 4th place. The green flag came out with 4 to go and this time they got to turn 3 when Reaper spun out trying to get around Kmack. That put the fastest car in the back of the field with only 2 laps to go. But low and behold, not having shown anything as impressive as Reaper the whole night, Mr. Abbotttazz had a smile on his face. He smelled the blood in the water as he had fresh tires and Dale was still out on his 23 lap old tires.

The green flag flew and it almost seemed like the race would go all the way home without another caution, which was awesome new for Abbotttazz as he could smell what Dale had for breakfast this morning, he was so close. But then the attempt was short lived as the caution flag was thrown for a spin in the back of the pack just before they got to the top of the esses!

DaleReynolds24 did it again. Dale successfully defended his 2008 win, and his reputation as either a strategial beast or just a lucky mothertrucker by winning the 2009 Toyota Savemart 350 in similar fashion as he did in 2008 when he played the strategy game and Abbottazz (ironically) who was 2nd until a miscue to come into the pits on the last caution let Dale go on to win with Gift hovering down his back. Dale is now un-defeated in his 3 career points-paying road course races, as he also won the 2008 Centrion Boats @ The Glen last year.

Abbotttazz came in 2nd again and his first 2009 win must wait later in the season. Kmack finishes third, also keeping up his stance as a decent road racer! Kelley, who said he was going to bring his grill and just watch the race from pit road wound up 4th with a great finish. Rounding out the top 5 was Walt Hamrick with a good run.

The rest of the top 10 was TURBOTODD, Donald2424, Mwils, Reaper, who unfortunately spun and Kapula, who finished with a DNF after his motor grenaded with 35 laps to go. Mwils was shown with a 6th place finish, but he was unable to serve his black flag at the end of the race, moving himself willingly back to the last car on the lead lap. Reaper disconnected during the green white checkered.

TheGift suffered EA glitches again and he willingly disconnected himself from the room after about 45 laps to finish 11th in the room. Sabloo, UltimateASSIN and Chucke all disconnected early to finish 12th 13th and 14th respectively.
