The "500" Part IV The 2009 Backyard 500

Well here I am again (on a train) with my fourth of five posts about the Backyard 500. Today's is about the 2009 500 which luckily I know a lot more about than the other ones.
OK first of all Aaron started the race on fire for Speedweeks '09 he won the X Energy Shootout the weekend before, and then started on the pole for the "500". The qualifying duels to set the starting positions for the race were rained out as the year before.
So on Sunday, March, 13, 2009 at 1 pm mountain time the 2009 Backyard 500 was under way. Aaron led the first four laps, but then on lap four me and Aaron crashed in a battle for the lead. And from then on it was a wreck fest.
Do to all the wrecks Savannah led the most laps of the race ("cause she always avoids them). But anyways to the point with three laps to go Aaron had a big lead over me but going to turn around he didn't turn all the way around. Aaron after he revived his black flag got of his ball and quit and started crying, and left the track. I led the final three laps, and won the first part of my triple three-peat that year. Once again the "500" was super exciting and amazing.
Anyways sorry i was so short in the post today (computer was dying) but hope it was good. Next week is the final part of this series, and until then have a good week. And hey the X Energy Shootout is next Saturady!
