Barton Captures His 73rd Stateline SLM Feature Win
By Glenn Slocum
BUSTI - Dick Barton came from fourth to win his 73rd Super Late Model feature at Stateline Speedway on the final regular race night of the season.
Spectator point champion Brandon Groters won the Spectator King of the Hill defeating Paul Schreckengost in the final round. Lester Shoff won his third Spectator feature of the season.
Greg Johnson survived a caution strewn E-Mod feature to notch his third win of the season and John Boardman ended his season as he started it with a win in the Super Sportsman division; it was his ninth in 2009.
Mike Moore led from beginning to end for his fifth Outlaw Cadet win and Stephanie Hilyer came from eighth to win the Lady Challenger feature. Also, Jamie Hebner won the first Super Challenger feature and Josh Hebner won the second, and Shannon Burgun won the Powder Puff race.
Darrell Bossard and Randy Lobb led the Super Late Models to the speedway for their feature event. Pete Alspaugh and Barton were in row two. Bossard led the first lap and the yellow flew for Chris Hackett who had slowed with a flat. Barton tested Bossard on the restart, but could not make the pass and Alspaugh settled into the third spot trailed closely by Rod Maloy.
Ed Carley had trouble navigating turn four with four laps complete for the second yellow of the race. Lobb was fifth for the restart with 2009 point champ Chad Valone sixth, Bump Hedman seventh and Scott Johnson eighth.
Barton made the pass stick on the restart to become the new leader. Maloy moved along side Bossard and the yellow flew one more as Hedman was facing the wrong direction in turn two. Barton, Bossard, Maloy, Valone, Alspaugh and Lobb were the restart leaders.
As the green dropped Paul Grigsby spun collecting Ed Carley for caution four. Doug Eck stopped on the front stretch during the yellow and had to be towed from the track. Barton pulled away from the field and led by half a straight at the end of 10 laps. Maloy finally bested Bossard for the runner up spot and Valone was solidly in fourth.
Barton had clear sailing, but lost a little ground to Maloy with nine laps of the 25 remaining. With five laps to go, Barton was closing on lap traffic and Maloy was back just five car lengths. Barton and Maloy were both running on the bottom and with two laps to go Maloy had not been able to get any closer to Barton.
Barton took the win his 73rd at Stateline Speedway.
