Moves up to Fourth Place in Championship Standings

SALEM, Ind. (April 5, 2009) – After surviving a challenging day at Salem Speedway, which included an unscheduled trip down pit road prior to taking the green flag, an on track incident and a pit road penalty, Frank Kimmel brought the Ansell/Menards Ford Fusion home with a solid 7th place finish in the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200 presented by Federated Car Care.

"We definitely had the odds stacked against us today," said Kimmel after the 200-lap event. "The car was really good – really fast during the first half, but the front end damage from that wreck at halfway really hurt the handling. I was tight in and out of the corners and when you can't get through the corners here it’s really hard to run consistently fast laps.”
