Greenfield, IN (February 23, 2009) – Fourth Generation racer Damon Ecoff will compete for the 2009 CRA Super Series Rookie Of The Year Award with his family owned Ecoff Motorsports team. The 16-year-old Greenfield, Indiana native is ready to make the jump to compete in one of the top late model touring series in the country.

"I'm really looking forward to running in the CRA Super Series," remarked Damon. "I consider it an honor to be able to compete against the top late model drivers in the country and against great racers like Kyle Busch when he races with the series. I am looking forward to running for the Rookie of the Year Award. I can't wait to see how much faster the CRA Super Series cars are than the CRA Late Model Sportsman racecars. I had a lot of fun racing in the Sportsman Series last year but I can’t wait until the first Super Series race at Anderson in April."

Damon is the son of former CRA Super Series competitor David Ecoff, who was a regular with the series from 1998 through the 2001 season. David ‘s highlights with the CRA series include a fifth place finish in the 1999 Winchester 400 at Winchester Speedway and a fifth place finish at the 2000 season opener at Anderson Speedway. David also competed in other stock cars and a modified during his racing career.

Damon grew up in the country driving tractors, trucks and heavy equipment at a young age. His racing career started at the tender age of five years old in Full Cage Karts at local tracks, he then moved up to Champ Karts winning many features through out the early stages of his racing career. Damon has grown up in a racing environment, first with his dad’s racing and then his own. From the time he was born his weekends were spent at racetracks and weeknights at the shop working on racing equipment.

Damon made his debut in a stock car last season in the highly competitive Howe CRA Late Model Sportsman Series as a 15 year old. His first race in July started off bad with a wreck at Baer Field Speedway just after taking the green flag when another competitor lost control of his car. After getting the car fixed, Damon shook off his first race incident to get an 11^th place finish on Labor Day Weekend on the famous High Banks of Winchester Speedway.

Damon really opened everyone’s eyes at the series event at O’Reilly Raceway Park on September 20^th, when he timed in second fast in qualifying out of 26 cars, then proceeded to get a very respectable fifth place finish at one of the most famous short tracks in the country, in just his third time in a stock car. Damon then returned to Winchester Speedway with back to back top 10 finishes including a ninth in the October 10^th special non-points race and then a 10^th place finish in the October 11^th Season Championship event that started 30 cars.

With Damon’s impressive early results in the Sportsman Series, the decision was made to move him up to the CRA Super Series late models for the 2009 season. Damon will compete full time with the series for the Rookie of the Year Award and for season championship points beginning with the series season opener on April 11^th at Anderson Speedway. Damon will also compete in selected Howe CRA Late Model Sportsman Series events when the two series are racing together at the same track and CRA Super Series off weekends. Damon could also compete in some selected ASA Midwest Series events. Damon will use a Hamke Chassis with power by Hamner Racing Engines.
