Both the #9m Team and #9 360 Sprint Car Teams were in Rapid City to race a 2 day points show. After a rough Friday night for both teams, Saturday would be a different story. The #9m DJ Brink Car finished 4th and the #9 Aaron Wendt Car finished 7th to end the weekend with both Teams in the top 10. Many hard hours of work and Special thanks to all who helped out including the Fans and Sponsors.
WE were excited to be in the points race for 2011 and it was a wild night of racing. Many wrecks and delays made for a long night of racing, but plenty of action for the Fans. We finished 5th and very close to a 4th place finish.
The last few weeks showed a improvement with our final Placement in the points ending up 8th for the the year.
Racing the Top class Teams in the country and finishing in the top 10 for the season is always a GOOD Year!
Special Thanks to All the SPONSORS, Fans and Crew members !!!

DJ Brink will now be driving the #9m Empire Racing Outlaw Sprint Car Starting this Sunday at Huset’s Speedway 7-3-2011. DJ and his Team have joined the Empire Team as well as Sponsors, 212 Bar and Grille and Schoeneman’s Construction. We are excited to see this addiction and hope and plan to move the #9m forward to the front. We would also like to thank our Fans and Sponsors for being there as we have been going through this transition this year with Driver’s.
Darren Wendt started the night and got 4th in heat race and made the A Main. 15th in A main out of 19 and avoided the B MAIN. We have made some adjustments and more for next week to move up from here.
Track was dry in 1 and 2 and tacky in 3 and 4 and later very dry and bumpy in one.
We had a enjoyable night of racing. It was our the first night, with out Marlon Jones on our team and the first night for Aaron Wendt to race a 410 Sprint car, and it also was his 20th birthday.
We had a challenge with many last minute changes, but we all were happy with the outcome. Aaron started 22nd and moved to 17th during a Green, White, Checkered Race. Kelo TV filmed the race and we were able to watch the car through the corners and race with Donny Schatz #15. A funny moment was after the race, when Aaron said he had pasted a yellow car (#51) and thought it was trying to pass him back, when after 4 or 5 laps the #15 of Schatz made the pass. Aaron was shocked to know it was Donny he had been racing the whole 5 laps. LOL we all had a good laugh at that. We have the video on our Facebook page and will try to have here soon!
Marlon Jones #9m of Empire Racing Team has announced today that due to a previous condition. The Doctors testing found a lower left bundle block condition during this years physical and advised Marlon not to Race at this present time.
Marlon has always been ready to do his best for Racing, and this Race Team. We as a Team, at this point are on hold till matters can be further accessed and will resume hopefully in the near future.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and concern for our dear friend.
Mike Wendt
