from arcaracing.com

Madison, IL (September 12, 2009) The battle for the ARCA RE/MAX Series championship included a classic short track duel to the very end Saturday night at Salem Speedway where Justin Lofton held off a hard late-race charge from rookie Parker Kligerman to win the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA Fall Classic.

"This is just absolutely awesome to get a win at Salem," said Lofton, driver of the Lofton Cattle Toyota. "It just means so much to me. There's probably no other series that I am going to get to race in for the rest of my career that races at a track like Salem and to get a win here at this track in the ARCA RE/MAX Series is just absolutely awesome to me. This win is just as big as Chicagoland, Pocono and any of them. I think my battle with Parker Kligerman just shows the ability of the drivers in this Series."

Lofton also regained the points lead over Kligerman by 25 points with just two races left.
