Super DIRT Week XXXVIII Coverage
Unlike a year ago when his no. 2 Palmer's Service-B-Dry TEO Pro Car was the center of attention on opening day, Ronnie Johnson’s brand new black Big-Block ride slipped under the radar after dark while making the grade on its first attempt with little fanfare. “Rules today are too good to come up with something that exotic,” said Johnson, responding to the ruckus that last year’s car created, leading some to try and compare it to the revolutionary no. 112 Continental Mark X/I Lincoln-bodied Big-Block ground-effects car driven by Gary Balough in the 1980 fall classic which forever changed the Syracuse landscape. “I’ve been working with Bobby (Hearn, chassis designer) for the past month going back and forth to Jersey, we’ve got a one of a kind car but nothing to get worked up over. We’re already behind the 8-ball after breaking our primary engine on the dyno Sunday. We’ve got a back-up but Syracuse is a place you want to come loaded with your best stuff, we’ll just have to see what happens,” added Johnson, whose father Jack Johnson became the first New Yorker to win the Rite Aid 200 in 1979, then repeated in 1984. After a serious crash sidelined him over the summer, Jumpin’ Jack is expected to return to Syracuse over the weekend to support his son’s latest bid to finally master the Moody Mile.

Ronnie Johnson wins again at Albany-Saratoga
9-13-09 MALTA – Two and 11 were the lucky numbers at Albany-Saratoga Speedway Sunday as the regular season at the historic Malta track came to a close.
Ronnie Johnson came away with his second consecutive win in the 35-lap 358-modified feature, and Ken Tremont Jr. walked off with his 11th point championship in the premier division.
Johnson made it look easy as he came away with his 16th career win at Albany-Saratoga Speedway. After starting 10th, Johnson only needed 10 laps to get to the front. With the race being stopped by just one yellow flag, on lap seven, Johnson got into lapped traffic and easily outran Tremont and Matt DeLorenzo, who finished second and third, respectively.
“I almost wish the season was just starting,” said Johnson in victory lane after the race.
But in the final tally, Tremont was an overwhelming 92 points ahead of Johnson as he won the track championship for the third straight season.
“Everything went well for us all season long,” said Tremont, who finished the year with five wins and 14 top-five finishes in 15 starts.
Todd Ryan hung on for fourth in the final points race of the season, and Jeff Trombley was fifth. Ryan's finish matched his best of the year in the Percy Barber-owned small block.
Dave Constantino, who climbed behind the wheel of the John Kollar-owned sportsman midway through the season, got his first win in that division while Mark Kislowski used a second-place finish in the Morris Auto Group/NYAutoguide-sponsored small block to earn the first track championshiup of his career. Rich Ronca finished third in the feature on Sunday, followed by Chris Busta and Ken Anatriello.

Ronnie Johnson wins at Albany-Saratoga
9-4-09 MALTA – Ronnie Johnson saved his best for last.
After taking the lead on lap 11, Johnson held off Brett Hearn to record his first win of the season Friday night in the 358-modified feature at Albany-Saratoga Speedway.
“This has been a frustrating season,” said Johnson after the feature. “To end the season with a win here is great.”
Albany-Saratoga Speedway will end its points season on Friday, Sept. 11, but Johnson has already said he'll be competing elsewhere that night.
Hearn, behind the wheel of the Wentworth-sponsored small block, nearly stole the win away from Johnson. A caution with six laps to go put Hearn right on Johnson's rear bumper, and Hearn momentarily took the lead on the restart. But Johnson rocketed down the backstretch and was back in front by the time the leaders cleared turn three, and he beat Hearn to the finish line by nearly a full second to chalk up the 15th win of his career at the Malta track.
Points leader Ken Tremont Jr., Don Ronca and Dave Camara completed the top five.
Point champions in all division will be crowned on Friday. Sept.11 on the final night of the regular season. It will also be Hometown Heroes Night, with all law enforcement officers, firefighters and EMT personnel being admitted free of charge. Additional information about Hometown Heroes Night can be found on the Web at www.cvra.com.
