Sam Halbert and Halbert Family Racing defied all odds by winning the 2009 Overall Championship. The championship fight came down to one race - Pomona. With only four points seperating the top three it was sure to be a battle, and a battle it was. Going in to the main at Pomona, Sammy needed only to keep his nearest rivals (Joe Kopp and Jared Mees) behind him. He did just that. Sammy sealed the deal finishing third, with Joe in Fourth and Jared coming in fifth.

JD Beach wins the 2009 Peoria TT Pro Singles Race August 22nd. There are only two TT races this year on the AMA Pro Racing Flat Track circuit and Jiggy Dogg has taken the time off his budding road racing career to win both of them. JD currently sits in fourth place in the points battle even though he has goose eggs in four events. 2008 Horizon Award winner Brad Baker from Chehalis, WA scores another podium finish in the highly contested inaugural Pro Singles Championship to maintain the points lead with four races left. Brad and JD are the only two racers with more than one win in the championship so far. Brad has three wins, JD has two.
