“Cruz (Pedgreon) is barely hanging on to tenth place right now which means he has to hold on to his points position just to advance to the countdown. I’m sure with my win over him in round two that he won’t be sending me a holiday card this season. On the other hand, after I defeated John (Force), he was rooting for me because my wins could potentially help him stay in the championship points race,” says Densham.
Although Densham would concede to the event winner Tim Wilkerson in the semi-finals, his wins over both John Force and Cruz Pedregon were significant. “John Force is a 14-time champion who is never easy to beat. Cruz is the reigning 2008 champion which tells you that he’s coming off of a very successful season,” says Densham. “Even though I won’t make the countdown due to running a limited season, I’ve proved this weekend that my team can race against the best out there even with a smaller crew and limited resources. If I had raced at every event on the 2009 schedule, there’s no doubt in my mind that I would be in the top ten.”
Densham contends that he will continue to race a few more times this season. “I love to race and even though I won’t be racing for the championship, I enjoy going out to the track and showing that a team with a limited budget has the ability to not just race against, but to beat the top teams out there.”
