Ken Thomas and Lenmar Motorsports Clinch Back to Back TOPMA Points Championships with their 11th Win of the Season
(11-10-09) MT. PLEASANT, TX – Ken Thomas and Crew captured their 11th win of the 2009 TOPMA season during series finale at Texas Raceway on November 7th. With this win, Ken clinched the series points championship and became only the second driver in TOPMA history to win two points titles in a row. Only Lenmar teammate Gaylen Smith was able to equal the feat in 2003/2004. Here is what Ken had to say about the double:
“What a relief and a joy to bring home the title again. This one was a little sweeter because we really had to earn it in the end.”
Thomas continued, “After we disintegrated our Ram clutch in Memphis then lost the Bad Bird in Kansas, I thought our chances for another championship were all but over, but Gaylen Smith and Mark Eddins stepped up and help us get into the Hell Hoss ’67 Jeffers Mustang. The car performed nothing short of spectacular in the last 9 races of the year and we were able to get it done.”
A look at the numbers for TMS/Lenmar team in 2009:
TOPMA Races- 21
TOPMA Wins- 11 (4-Bird, 7-Stang)
TOPMA Finals- 15
