Montecalvo Disappointed
Wed, 7 Oct 2009, 09:40 PM
During this inaugural season of ADRL Extreme Pro Stock, John Montecalvo was unable to attend all of
the ADRL events. However, this hasn't stopped him from qualifying for the Battle of the Belts
Championship Race. The top 8 in points qualify for this massive event, and Montecalvo is well in
the field, standing fifth. This success hasn't been one sided; in fact, Monte is the only driver to
remain in contention for two championships in two series. So much good fortune led Montecalvo to a
dilemma of sorts, in which he had to make a choice of which Championship he would pursue.
"I'm paired up to run Elijah Morton in the Battle of the Belts and it scared me off!" said
Montecalvo, hinting to a running joke between him and his long time friend and competitor. "In all
seriousness, I'm disappointed that I can't attend the final ADRL race and defend the hard work
we've put in all year long. Things didn't work out that way this season, but the ADRL will be here
for a long time so hopefully we can battle out for that Championship next season. I gave Kenny
Nowling a courtesy call and let him know we wouldn't be making the Battle of the Belts. Kenny was
very understanding and wished us the best. That just goes to show the true sportsmanship and
integrity of that organization. We want to offer our apologies to Kenny, the ADRL staff and all our
ADRL fans. We've had a lot of fun in the ADRL and can't wait for the 2010 season."
