MEMPHIS
TN (August 29,2009) - Stock car racing
legend James Hylton
piloted his Radon.com Ford Fusion to a 27th place finish
at Chicagoland Speedway's Ansell Cut Protection 150
on Friday. The ARCA RE/MAX series event was
captured by Westmoreland CA's Justin Loftin in the
Loftin Cattle Toyota. The crowd was treated to a
race that was highlighted by four-wide racing with a
total of 16 cars finishing on the lead lap.
On lap 42, the ageless veteran
Hylton performed an outstanding feat of driving by
diving to the apron of the high-banked track to avoid
the spinning car of Nuri Ali. "I could see
disaster ahead with the 17 car spinning" stated Hylton
"all I can say is that you can perform miracles when you
don't want to wreck a new race car". The race was
Hylton's sixth at the 1.5 mile Chicagoland Speedway.
"I love coming up here and racing" stated Hylton "the
car ran good. This race was the most fun I've had
in quite a while"
Hylton's 27th place finish enabled
him to hold onto 14th place in the ARCA RE/MAX Series
driver point standings. With seven races remaining
on the 2009 schedule, Hylton has 2175 points and is 205
points behind Hixson Motorsports' Jeremy Petty in 13th
place.
