Jason Bartlett fra USA fikk virkelig fart på Strong Knight i det siste VM-løpet. Angrepet ble satt inn i den siste svingen. I god tid før mål var Strong Knight foran de øvrige konkurrentene. Verdensmester Birger Jørgensen ble nummer seks med Jackson Brodde.
Birger Jørgensen from Denmark became World Driver Champion 2009 and winner of The Ulf Thoresen Trophy at Bjerke Racetrack tonight. He was by far the best driver on the final day of The Championship, and captured an impressive 42 points. Peter Ferguson from New Zealand came second, while home favorite Eirik Høitomt captured the last place on the podium.
It was a proud Dane who accepted the prestigious Ulf Thoresen Trophy, proving that he is the best driver in the world.
- It is a big achievement becoming World Champion. This is a highlight I my career. I drove against Ulf Thoresen several times and I have only positive memories of him. To be the first winner of the trophy carrying his name is an honor, Jørgensen stated, standing on top of the WDC-podium.
Eirik Høitomt and favorite Norvelous News lead the third WDC-race from start to finish. Jørgensen captured valuable points by coming third with Playful.
The last race of The World Driver Championship was won by Jason Bartlett. The talented driver from USA got Strong Knight going very well and when the attack was mounted in the last bend, no one could follow. World Campion Jørgensen came sixth with Jackson Brodde.
