Plymouth, IN (July 12, 2009) – David Stremme started on the pole and led the first 100 laps of the CRA Super Series Summer Championship 200 Presented by Crown RV & Boat Cleaner at Plymouth Speedway Sunday night. Restarting back in the pack after choosing to change tires at the halfway break, Stremme worked his way back to the front and took the lead after 50 laps and held on to win at his home track. Jack Landis finished second holding off a hard charging Aaron Pierce who finished beside Landis, missing second by .030 seconds, just inches. Johnny Van Doorn finished fourth, with Jason Dietsch fifth.

"It was fun racing here, seeing a lot of people, racing at Plymouth Speedway."  Stremme stated.  "It was fun for everybody, there was a lot of passing, and it was entertaining for the fans.  And I got my third CRA Super Series win."

Jason Shively set fast time in qualifying taking the EDCO Welding Fast Qualifier Award, he then drew a five for the invert putting Stremme on the pole. From his starting position, Stremme ran out to a safe lead, while the fight for second on back with first JR Roahrig, then Jack Landis and finally Eddie Hoffman racing in second. At the halfway break, Stremme led by .703 seconds with Hoffman nearly catching him.

By taking no tires, Landis restarted the second half the race out front, with Roahrig and Scott Hantz right behind him. Hantz wasted no time getting second, racing to get beside Landis, but never able to get past while Stremme and Hoffman moved through the field. Hantz and Hoffman fought for third bouncing off each other several times, ending when Hoffman forced Hantz high in four and Hantz hitting the wall hard. Hoffman came in and lost a lap in the pits, then upon exiting the pits incorrectly he was accessed a stop and go penalty which cost him another lap in the pits.

Stremme worked his way past Landis on the 150^th lap to take the lead for good. As the laps wound down, Aaron Pierce made a late charge moving up quickly. "I saved my tires and car for the end, but waited just a little too long." Pierce stated. Moving into third, Pierce looked to be able to challenge, but a caution with 3 laps to go when Boris Jurkovic got caught up and spun when he checked up for a slower car and others did not in heavy traffic, gave the advantage to Landis again. Despite being able to get beside Landis, Pierce could not get past him in the three laps and finished third.

Jurkovic started the day without a car after his had mechanical issues during the open practice on Saturday. Steve Campbell loaned his car to Jurkovic. Despite driving an unfamiliar car, Jurkovic started 20^th, worked his way into the Top 5 and then had his spin, finishing 15^th. For his move through the field Jurkovic earned the ARP Bodies Cool Move of the Race Award. Tyler Roahrig moved up 14 positions to earn the Lane Automotive /ISKY Racing Cams Hard Charger Award, and a Hoosier Racing Tire Performance Award. Jason Dietsch took the other Hoosier Racing Tire Award. Nick Lay won the K&N Filters Rookie of the Race Award.

Joe Beaver turned the fastest lap of the 15 CRA Street Stock drivers that broke the track record and drew a 12 for the invert putting Angola driver Robbie Henderson on the pole. Henderson made the best of it leading every lap to win his first CRA Street Stock race. South Bend driver Randy Pressler worked to pass Henderson every lap, and did get by once only to have a car spin on the same lap, causing a restart, with the field reverting back to the previous laps line-up putting Henderson back into the lead. Pressler finished second, with Rick Erwin third, Chad Poorman fourth and Larry Matillo fifth.

"I have been racing for 10 years and this is my biggest win ever."  Henderson said.  "Those guys raced me clean, I was real loose there at the end, but they did not touch me, a great group of drivers to race with."

Mark Mason set fast time in Vore’s Welding & Steel CRA FWD Compact action, but his time was disallowed following post-qualifying inspection. Starting on the tail, Mason moved up through the field to take the lead on the 17^th lap, building a sizable lead. Rookie contender Jeff Williams took the early lead and lead until Mason took over. Williams finished second, holding off a hard charging PeeWee Warren, Tim Dilg was fourth and Blain Miller moved from the last row to finish fifth.

"The lanes just opened up for me."  Mason commented.  "Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, and today they did.  We had a little mishap in qualifying and that was just more incentive to come out and win!"
