Birch Run, Michigan (Friday, May 22, 2009): Defending Street Stocks Track Champion, Ed Newman Jr., passed pole-sitter, Josh Hahn on Lap 11 of the 25-lap Feature and the driver of the Zervan Masonry Chevrolet scored his first Feature Win of the season and first victory since an off-track accident that left the New Lothrop, Michigan driver in a wheelchair for the majority of this past winter!

Hahn finished a career high second in his 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle while Curtis Hayden, Maverick Morrow, and Rob Sullivan were the Top Five.

Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame driver, Jay Woolworth finished a strong sixth earning the Schaefer-Bierlin Dodge of Frankenmuth Hard-Charger award while Fast Qualifier Jason Hitsman, Dewey Romans, and two rookies, Jake Caverly and Aaron Spearling finished off the Top 10.

Earlier in the day, Al Boitel Jr., picked up the Feature Win in the 25-lap Street Stocks Make-Up Feature from the May 15th Rain Out.

As for the regularly scheduled events, Hitsman was the Fast Qualifier for the night with a 16.540 while Bob Robinson and Newman Jr., scored the Heat Race Wins.
