Salem, IN (October 9, 2006) – Even with one CRA Super Series point’s event left in the 2006 season, Loveland, Ohio native Danny Jackson has already secured a big enough point advantage to win the 2006 CRA Super Series CD-2 Rookie Of The Year Award. Jackson’s 12^th place finish in the series last event at Rockford Speedway on September 24^th gave him enough points to secure the award over second place Rich Segvich, who finished 22^nd in that event. The third generation driver joins a distinguished list of former series rookie of the year award winners including Tommy St. John in 2005, Chris Gabehart in 2004, Chuck Barnes Jr. in 2003, Andy Ponstein in 2002, Joel Kauffman in 2001, Scott Hantz in 2000, Peter Cozzolino in 1999 and Spanks Overbeck in 1998.

Jackson claims the CD-2 Rookie Of The Year Award by 195 points over Rich Segvich, the only other driver currently active in the CD-2 Rookie Of The Year battle. Jackson has 1022 adjusted points, each rookie gets to drop his worst two finishes during the season, Segvich has 827 adjusted points, he missed two events earlier in the season, so those two were the events dropped from his adjusted points.

Jackson has collected 12 CD-2 Rookie Of The Race Awards so far in 2006, collecting $1200 in bonuses from CD-2 and $300 in Product Certificates from Cometic Gasket so far during the season.
