Upcoming Schedule of Events

    Paul is having the most consistent season of his career. He has finished in the top 5 in all 7 races to this point in the season. This consistency has put Paul into second in the points championship.
At South Boston Speedway, Paul came home fourth.
    At Tri-County Paul qualified on the pole and had a line failure which he has to pit for. After restarting in the back Paul made it up to second. Paul has clicked at Tri-County having finished second in the last two years they have gone.
After Tri-County, the team went to Florence Motor Speedway where Paul had another consistent run and came home third. 
    At just about every race this season Paul has had awful luck and some problem out of their control. But he has all top fives. So if all top fives and second in the points is bad luck, every driver would want bad luck. 
    When Paul finally catches a break and does not have a problem at a race which he is running well, Paul will earn his first win in the Allison Legacy series.

Markham's Review:
    I feel that the schedule for this year has played right into the hands of Paul. He will get to race at two road tracks at which he excels. Paul gets to return to Tri-County Motor Speedway where Paul just missed a victory last year. Hickory was also a good track for Paul last year where he brought home a 3rd place finish. 
    I think that if Paul qualifies better this year (which he was showing great signs of at the end of the year) that he will get a top five in points. Consistency is the name of the game.
    I think Concord will be a good race for Paul. Concord and South Boston are tracks that Paul left with a sour taste in his mouth last year but both are tracks that he historically does well. Both accidents were a wrong place at the wrong time deal. 
    Orange County Speedway is always a consistent track for Paul which I think he will bring home a top five.
        But to what everybody wants to know. Race wins. It has shown in the past that in order to win an Allison Legacy championship you have to win a lot of races. The tracks that I think Paul has the best chance at winning are Carolina Motorsports Park, Tri-County Motor Speedway, Hickory Motor Speedway, and Orange County Speedway.

    The 2009 Allison Legacy Touring Schedule has been released. The Allison Legacy Touring division will be visiting 12 different tracks including two road courses. The season will kick off at the Rockingham Raceway Park which is the road course at Rockingham. Paul has always put up great numbers at Carolina Motorsports Park (only road course prior to this season) so this raises the question, with everyone on even ground because no one has raced at Rockingham Raceway Park, how will Paul do? Paul answered with, "I think it will be an even and exciting race, as long as we get the chance go to the practice a week before the race."
    Seven months later the series will go across the street to the short track next to "The Rock" called "The Little Rock." This race will be exciting for it is also the first time the series will have visited this track.
    Paul was asked, how do you feel being able to race right next door to the famed "Rock?" Paul responded with, "It will be a great opportunity to meet new people. I can't believe I will be racing at the same complex as the greats like the Pettys, the Earnhardts, and the Allisons." 
    Paul will get to return to tracks such as Orange County Speedway, Tri-County Motor Speedway, Hickory Motor Speedway, Dillon Motor Speedway, Florence Motor Speedway, and Carolina Motorsports Park where he has top fives. This season is looking bright for Paul to top his best points season of 7th.
