Henderson
Enters Lucrative Million and Dream
(June
12, 2022) The lucrative 'Eldora Million' and 'Dirt Late
Model Dream' were next on the racing calendar for John Henderson,
as the #2X team trekked to the famed Eldora Speedway from June
8-11. Following a washout at the Rossburg, Ohio facility on Wednesday
night, the entire 'Eldora Million' program was contested on Thursday.
During the daytime $12,000 to win preliminary event, John ran
eighth in his heat race and twelfth in his B-Main. In the nightcap,
which boasted a whopping $1,002,022 top prize, John placed eleventh
in his loaded heat race and twentieth in his B-Main.
When the weekend rolled around in the Buckeye State,
the attention turned to the annual running of the 'Dirt Late Model
Dream.' In the $12,000 to win preliminary show on Friday evening,
John finished tenth in his heat race and twelfth in his B-Main.
In Saturday's annual 'Dirt Late Model Dream,' which shelled out
a $128,000 winner's check, John wound up eleventh in his heat
race and twentieth in his B-Main. Although the North Augusta,
South Carolina ace was unable to transfer into any of the four
main events, he was able to get some valuable laps and experience
around the 1/2-mile, high-banked oval. Complete results from each
day at the "Big E" can be found by logging onto www.eldoraspeedway.com.

Rear End
Woes Hamper Henderson Over Weekend
(May 30, 2022) John Henderson and his #2X team
spent their Memorial Day holiday weekend at both Lake View Motor
Speedway in Lake View, South Carolina and Cherokee Speedway in
Gaffney, South Carolina on May 28-29. At Lake View on Saturday
evening, a $5,000 top prize was up for grabs with the Carolina
Clash Super Late Model Series. John started seventeenth on the
feature grid in the 40-lap affair, but rear end woes early in
the contest dropped him to a nineteenth place effort.
On Sunday at Gaffney, a $7,500 winner's check was on the line
in the annual running of the 'Mike Butler Memorial,' which was
sanctioned by the Ultimate Super Late Model Series. John stopped
the clock twelfth fastest overall during the qualifying session
and later rolled off from the outside of the sixth row in the
40-lapper. Unfortunately, more rear end issues relegated the North
Augusta, South Carolina ace to a disappointing sixteenth place
showing. Complete results from both holiday weekend races can
be accessed online at www.carolinaclash.com

Henderson
Back in Warrior Race Car During Colossal 100
(May
15, 2022) North Augusta, South Carolina ace John Henderson
partnered up with Mike Nuchols of Warrior Race Cars to debut a
new car during the 'Colossal 100' at The Dirt Track at Charlotte
in Concord, North Carolina from May 12-14. After skipping Wednesday's
XR Super Series opener due to work obligations, John debuted the
all-white Warrior racecar - which is the back-up house car for
driver Ryan King. John promptly put the machine into the $25,000
to win feature on Thursday after finishing fourth in his stacked
heat race and second in his B-Main. After 30 green flag circuits
in the main event, John was ultimately paid for a twenty-first
place performance.
Following a rain-out of a similar $25,000 to win program on Friday
evening, the 'Colossal 100' weekend wrapped up in a big way on
Saturday night with a grand finale, which boasted a hefty $50,000
winner's check. John stopped the clock eleventh quickest in Group
A during qualifying before running fifth in his loaded heat race.
He then placed tenth in his B-Main, which unfortunately kept him
out of the 50-lap headliner that was eventually won by Chris Madden.
