Ginsberg Has Rough Start to 2009 Season

April 21 , 2009 – Summit Point, WV – Fighting with a car that was down on power, Gregg Ginsberg finished seventh in Saturday’s 10-lap, 20-mile heat race. Ginsberg started tenth for the race and manged to reach sixth place before the half-way point of the race. “We put a new motor in the car on Friday night and just didn’t have the time to get it 100 percent,” said Ginsberg. Ginsberg added, “I was driving the wheels off the car in the corners to carry as much speed as I could.”

Ginsberg would start Sunday’s 40-mile feature race from ninth on the ITA-grid. He would move up to eighth place by lap eight, but disaster struck while lapping a slower car. Ginsberg got into the marbles in turn eight and impacted the outside tire wall hard. Ginsberg was stoic about the incident, ” I didn’t do a great job of managing the situation. He wasn’t predictable but I had plenty of racing room and I goofed.”
