8/30/2009
To complete a great weekend of racing Sodeman and the S & S UnWired/ Economy Tooling team headed out to the only sunny skies in Ohio, Millstream Speedway. Starting 4th in his heat Sodeman would keep his position and make the draw into the 25 lap feature. A heads up redraw would have the 23jr starting in the 12th spot. But due to extreme track conditions Sodeman pulled out at lap 4 and was scored 18th.
