Shadow Report - Delaware Banquet

Shadowracer · 2009-10-25T02:04:39Z

Howdy all!Well, just got back from the banquet and I have to say what a great party it was. I'll do the awards, then some notes, but I'll preface by saying (because everyone's probably wondering) there was really no big news or big announcements regarding the speedway at large. As was expected, the night was about celebrating the year past more so than talking to the future. I did have a brief word with General Manager Joe and he said they're thrashing hard already hammering out the schedule for next year.On to the awards....Rookie of the Year AwardsAPC Late Model 72-Shawn ThompsonPowerade Modified 38-Tyler HendricksDemar Aggregates Trucks 99-Michelle KoricinaSuper Stock- 84-Steve SmithDelaware (All Ontario?) NASCAR Whelen rookie of the year in LM 4-Jon Urlin.Sportsmanship Awards APC LM 52-SheridanPowerade Mod 1-NewmanDemar Truck 56-ShowlerSuper Stock 51-Rabideau Harborne/Lawrence Spirit of Racing AwardOne award that has been near and dear to Delaware Speedway for a long time now is the Harborne/Lawrence Spirit of Racing award. It is awarded every year to one person who exemplifies and embodies the spirit of good sportsmanship, and is also special in that it doesn't necessarily get awarded to a driver. It is my personal honor to be able to say that one of the members of our own CRO faithful has won that award this year....Jim Ott, aka JWO Racing, father and crew chief to Jake "Juice Box" Ott, in the "It Aint Easy Being Green" Super Stock number 60.Jim looked just a little bewildered at the whole thing, but the award couldn't have gone to anyone more deserving. Congratulations Jim. Most of the guys agree that you make the pits a brighter place, always ready with a helping hand or a spare part. We're glad you guys decided on Delaware.Craftsman Mechanic of the Year - John Johnston, 28-Robblee teamUltimate Sandblasting and Coatings Chaos Car Champ - Spencer "Bush Bomb" RabideauAPC LM / Whelen NASCAR Championship - 28 Steve RobbleeSteve Robblee of course won Delaware as well as Ontario, which we knew. What we didn't know (or I didn't anyway) was that he finished sixth overall of the entire NASCAR Whelen North American series. This is out of about 3000 competitors. I mean, we all know that Robblee is one of the best guys to ever strap into a race car, but I think its just awesome to finally see it recognized outside of the region. Way to go Steve.2 52 Ron Sheridan 3 4 Jonathan Urlin 4 20 Scott Lindsay 5 15 Steven Matthews 6 02 Mark Watson 7 10 Jesse Kennedy 8 22 Jamie Ramsay 9 27 Mat Box 10 37 David Elliott 11 38 Kirk Hooker 12 72 Shawn Thompson 13 14 Rick Emery 14 2 Doug Stewart 15 3 Chad Rijnen Powerade Modified 2009 Champ: 3 Jamie Cox 2 1 Barry Newman 3 88 Paul Shipway 4 39 David McCullough 5 54 Darrell Limon 6 38 Tyler Hendricks 7 24 Stephen Richmond 8 70 John Saunders 9 57 Gary Brooks 10 19 Dean Scott Demar Aggregates Trucks Championship 2009 Champ: 88 Paul Fothergill 2 56 Jeff Showler 3 00 Shawn Johns 4 01 Devon Bloemendal 5 75 Jordan Dupuis 6 77 Tom Zagorodny 7 7 Derek Clark Strathroy 8 99 Michelle Koricina 9 16 Kathleen Hosang 10 9 Michael Thompson 11 82 Justin Demelo 12 4 Lonny Thompson 13. 81 Dale Hilborn 14. 33 Sid McDonald 15. 97 Bill McDonald Jr Owners points won by 82 DemeloDelaware Super Stock 2009 Champ 11 Jason Lidster2 77 Darrell Lake 3 76 Jeremy Reid 4 84 Steve Smith 5 67 Shawn Hewitt 6 24 Stephen Richmond 6 51 Jeremiah Rabideau 8 99 Scott Nagy 9 60 Jake Ott 10 52 Brad Clark 10 28 Kris Lawrence 12 04 Matt Humphrys 13 7 Jared Shields 14 3 Andrew Perkins 15 9 DJ De Jesus 16 5 Jim Mairs Owners Points also won by Lidster Other Notes- John Houghton did a stellar job with a great end-of-season highlight reel for both the big cars, plus a great on for the Jrs too. (we found out that in fact, yes, a Jr Late Model can take down a full sized light pole....just in case you were wondering)- The Truck girls, Kathleen Hosang and Michelle Koricina were both there, sipping fruity cocktails out of their trophies, both looking resplendent :o and making all us old guys wish we were 21 again. Great to see you both. Spoke with Kathleen's Dad Mike, and it looks like they're on track to run up near the front again next year after finishing out the season in a cobbled together machine after the big rain wreck.-In other news, it looks like Brooksie has sold the 57 modified to a Varney competitor. The good news is, it looks like we might be seeing a number 57 truck in the Demar Aggregates division next year. ;D-The CRO "Dellies" took the shape of a top 10 li...
