| Mahoney
finishes third in SOS title chase |
The 2009 season came to a close for the Southern
Ontario Sprints on Labour Day Weekend at Brighton
Speedway. Again it was a thriller as the points chase
came down to the final weekend of the season.
For Warren Mahoney and the #25 crew it
was a chance at collecting their third series title.
The weekend started off well as Warren won his heat
and finished 6th on Saturday night. That coupled with
problems late in the race for fellow points chaser
Adam West allowed the Wiley One to draw closer to the
top spot.
Sunday night however would be a different
story. Warren would start off strong by winning his 8
lap heat. He along with point leader Justin Martin and
second place West kept each other in sight during the
20 lap main event. Things would turn sour late though
as Warren would slap the frontstretch wall and then
hop the right rear of Jamie Collard in the next
corner. Mahoney took a wild flip after the contact and
ended his season in the pit area with a destroyed race
car. Martin finished 8th to clinch the title while
Warren would finish third overall in the standings
behind good friend Adam West. Although he didn't win
the title Mahoney did maintain his streak of finishing
in the top 5 in points in all of his 11 years of SOS
competition.
Warren and the #25 team would like to
thank all of their friends, fans, family and most of
all sponsors for their support during the 2009
Southern Ontario Sprints season! |
