NickHolt Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Merrell wins Texas Pro Sedans race at Red River Speedway By Mike Haag Mike Merrell of Kingsland is one step closer to winning the Texas Pro Sedans championship after he won the 40-lap TPS race Saturday night at Red River Speedway in Wichita Falls. Merrell, who has battled Tom Johnson of Kingsland for the points lead throughout the season, finished ahead of Johnson's Mustang as the two drivers dueled to the finish line at the quarter-mile asphalt oval. The margin of victory was 2.932 seconds. It was Merrell's sixth victory this season for the VW Scirocco driver. Josh Cournoyer of Wichita Falls in a Ford Pinto finished third, Bill Labarge of Bryan in a BMW was fourth and Tory Christopher of Universal City in a Toyota Celica took fifth. Rounding out the top 10 in the 14-car starting field were Mike Wright, J.J. Osburn, Del Geil, Bruce Mabrito and Pete Wright. Merrell, who entered the race five points ahead of Johnson in the point standings, now holds a six-point lead over Johnson going into the season finale race at Thunderhill Raceway on October 10. Merrell will need a strong finish and will need to finish ahead of Johnson at the next race in order to clinch the TPS championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
