Jared Goerges Tops Ronnie Erickson for 2010 UMSS Rookie of the Year Award

By: Greg Parent

Stillwater MN

The GRP Motorsports/BP Trading Company 2010 UMSS Rookie of the Year battle came down to the final race of the season at the Ogilvie Raceway on October 2. Young Brainerd, Minnesota driver Jared Goerges held the lead over Forest Lake's Ronnie Erickson entering the finale, as the rookie award utilized the best twelve (12) point shows from each driver during the course of the season. When the final checkers waved on the season at Ogilvie, Jared Goerges had emerged victorious in his bid to earn the 2010 UMSS Rookie of the Year title. Both Goerges and Erickson competed in more than twelve events during the season with Erickson being able to throw out his two lowest point scores while Goerges was able to exclude his lowest score. A third driver, Andy Jones from Princeton, was in the battle until he blew his motor in his sprint car at the Kouba Memorial race on July 24 at Brainerd. That misfortune ended his sprint car season.

Jared Goerges will be honored along with Ronnie Erickson at the UMSS banquet early next year, as both rookie contestants earned cash bonuses for their top two finish from GRP Motorsports and BP Trading Company. Goerges will be presented the 2010 UMSS Rookie of the Year trophy at that time as well. If the success of the 2009 UMSS Rookie of the Year Cody Hahn is any indication, Goerges may find himself racing for the championship title next season. A promising group of new rookie drivers is expected to race with the UMSS in 2011 while several other young drivers who only ran a very limited schedule in 2010 are hoping to expand their racing activities in 2011. Race fans can keep updated during the winter months on all of the UMSS racing news by checking out our website at www.umsprints.com or by following along on the UMSS Facebook page.

1. Jared Goerges #9, Brainerd MN.............2,769 points (Top 12 shows)

2. Ronnie Erickson #62, Forest Lake MN...2,667 points (Top 12 shows)
