Henning goes 2 for 2!
Rod, “Hot Rod” Henning came into the
Saturday night feature as the man to beat for
the 2009 AMSA Nationals. He didn’t take long
to show everyone why. Henning started on
the outside front row of the 20 lap AMSA
feature and jumped to the lead on lap 1. It
looked like Henning would have nother easy
victory at Lawrenceburg, but as the race
reached the half-way point, “Hot Rod” had to
worry about the car right behind him who was
trying both high and low to make the pass.
That car was driven by Beau Stewart. He
caught Henning, and tried for several laps to
pass Henning on the high side, and the low
side. As fans have seen many times before,
the 28 car driven by Henning was strong and
this race was no different. Henning would
pull away from Stewart in the final couple laps
and win by 4-5 car lengths over Beau Stewart,
Ryan Braughton, Dustin Hueston, and Kevin
Roberts, jr. Heat race winners were Stewart,
Henning, and Howard McCormick. Ricky
Taylor won the B-Main. The AMSA mini-
sprints return to the Lawrenceburg Speedway
on Saturday, May 9.
