One of the most popular and well liked drivers at Colorado National Speedway is Richard "the Rock" Burton and as many of you might know Richard was struck by lightening on September 9th. All of us at CNS have been praying for Richard who remains in the hospital. This event has sent shockwaves through the Colorado Racing community.

Regular updates regarding Richard's condition as well as the out pouring of prayers and well wishes are being shared at BigWestRacing.com. Please feel to stop by Big West Racing and check on Richard's condition and send your well wishes along as well.

These last two races will be the most intense of the season! Everything is riding on these events so expect the racing to be tighter, faster and the most suspenseful it's been all year long!

Get ready for an intimidating field of Super Stocks. The insane Figure Eighters will be here for some close calls in the X. Legend drivers Wayne Barlock and Kyle Clegg will duke it out for second in points, so you won't want to miss our last Legend race of the season. The modified coupes will be here for some open wheel racing and the lightning fast Super Modified will bring a serious competition to the track as well. And of course, it just wouldn't be the same without those ridiculous buses to finish the evening off.

It'll be a sad farewell on Saturday, September 29th but don't go getting all teary eyed on us... we've still got racing to do! It's the Final Late Model bout of the 2009 season. Cris Muhler will bring his "A" game to defend his crown against Bruce "the moose" Yackey in a 100 lap Late Model Main event. Roger Avants, "speedy" Ronnie Hults and Rick Smith will be on hand to give Muhler and the Moose a run for their money.

The Pro Trucks will hit the track as well, along with the Sportsman and the Grand American Modified. The trains will cap off the 2009 season at Colorado National Speedway.

Sunday night concluded the Pepsi Labor Day weekend Shoot Out at Colorado National Speedway. Clear skies ushered in an unforgettable night of racing. The Legends brought 4 different divisions to race in 2 separate features. The Pros and Masters matched up against each other and the Semi Pros raced along side the Young Lions (Legends drivers 16 and under). The winners of tonightís Legend features would take a spot in the Asphalt Nationals in Lanier, GA.

The Super Modifieds rounded up the evening's events, followed by the Sportsman. The Pro Trucks came out to headline the program for their second to last feature of the season. Both Mark Neff and Billy Harkins were riding on the heels of point leader Adam Deines. All we could do was wait (on the edge of our seats) to see what would happen.
