The 39th season of dirt track racing at Fayetteville Motor Speedway saw a lot of hot racing action in all classes for sure. Jeff Smith of Dallas took the Super Late Model crown for the third straight season at FMS to go along with his 2009 Carolina Clash Series title. Smith in his Star Leasing-Starrette Trucking-J&J Race Cars-American Race Tires Rocket machine beat out young lion Craig Shuffield of Fayetteville in his Southern Machine Shop entry for the top prize this season on the 4/10 mile clay oval and Smith had another outstanding season at FMS.

Raeford's Shaun Harrell repeated in the Limited Late Model division in his Carolina Concrete Finishing-AshworthPerformance Racing Engine ride as he held off Fayeteville's Wayne Gray Jr. for the top prize in this strong class this year at FMS. Harrell has now posted back to back championships at FMS in this class.

Puppy Creek's Ricky Boahn in the Bowden Motorsports Hassy Chassis had a real duel most of the year with hard charging Carlos Jaramillo of Fayetteville for the Open Wheel Mod crown and Boahn edged out Jaramillo by a mere 12 points for his fifth Open Wheel Mod title in his career. Jaramillo for the second straight season at FMS settles for a runnerup spot in his Hassy Chassis hot rod for Mid South Wrecker Service. Look for a even stronger field of Open Wheels next season at FMS.
