"We were actually right in the middle, I always expect more out of myself but you take the good with the bad. We won a few races and a championship and that’s a lot more than most people can say. Unfortunately we didn’t get to race as much this year as years in the past, but by taking full ownership in my late model program I had to be a little pickier when we raced because the budget just wasn’t there."
With all your new found experience on the track and in the pits, what would you say is the hardest thing that you face in your young career?
"Money! Unfortunately with the way the economy is today a lot of young talent is over looked. Finding a ride is few and far between now days and we’re in a tough sport where corporate money doesn’t come easy."
Speaking of a young career, you have posted 4 straight championships including 3 different tracks and one series championship; can you tell us what your ultimate goal is?
"I really want to try and advance my career to the next level. Dirt racing is in my blood but if I don’t give the pavement deal a shot I’ll always wonder what if. I would love to at least get up to the truck series."
One can only assume that the 2010 World 100 title is in your plans, can you tell us without giving away any secrets, what’s your game plan as you and the JHR team prepare for this weekends race?
"The world 100 is just such a tough deal; it really starts with qualifying well and having your racecar dialed in for the 20 lap heat race. Over the last few years I have learned that everything just has to go your way."
Now that we are in September of the 2010 season what can Jon Henry fans expect for the remainder of the season?
"Not much left on the schedule, would like to try and hit the Lucas oil show in Brownstown IN at the end of September and then the UMP nationals at Eldora in October."
Jon thanks for taking time with us here at Outerwears! Is there anything else that you would like to let your fans know about?
"First thing is that Outerwears has the best pre filters and shock covers on the market and I’m very thankful to have them apart of my team! Secondly I can’t release many details yet but I have been working on a book that will be published in the next couple months that will be sold for a really good cause! More details to come at jonhenryracing.com"
