Tucson, Arizona (March 28th, 2009) - RC Whitwell swings back and beats Christy Georges in The Race of Champions Round 3.  Whitwell out lasted Georges in another nail biting UMP West Modified 25 lap feature event and scored his second victory of 2009.
After a 15 lap side by side battle between the front runners, Whitwell took the lead from Brian Clark late in the race and never looked back.  Georges made several unsuccessful attempts to overtake the leader and settled in for the runner up spot.  Whitwell proved why he is Tucson's top contender as he held off a stout field of 29 of the best Modified drivers in the west.
Daniel Hutto drove from the 18th position and secured his spot on the podium.  Brian Clark, who led the majority of the race, finished 4th and Brad Campbell completed the top 5.  Cody Alvarez, Royal Jones, Adam Crippen, Carl Trimmer and Wade Simmons made up the remainder of an extremely competitive top 10.
 
Marty Hussak had his way with a very stout cast of Super Stock competitors.  Hussak took the lead from his front row starting position and held off Rob Colclasure and Erick Gibson.  James Binkley, series point leader, crossed the line just ahead of 5th place finisher Tommy Hussak III.
 
Terry Churchwell extended his points lead by winning the 20 lap Factory Stock Feature.  Churchwell made his way through bumper to bumper traffic just ahead of Larry Leetch and Johnny McCarty.
 
Adam Crippen was victorious in the Arizona Late model divisions.
