September 23rd marked the end of the racing season for Old Dominion Speedway's 2011 season. The final race was cancelled due to rain so all champions were technically crowned on September 16th. These champions have won multiple championships in their careers and are no strangers to the spot light.

Jerry

The Super Pro Championship was won by Jerry Williams who is no stranger to winning championships. Winning the 2011 Super Pro Championship at ODS marks Jerry's 16th championship of his career. Jerry starting racing back in 1973, 38 years of drag racing. He received his first two championships of his career in 1975-early 1980s, both of those championships were won at Mason-Dixon Dragway in Hagerstown, Maryland. Jerry won his first championship at ODS in the 1980s, he won Quick 8 and Quick 16. In 1990 Williams won the NHRA Southeast Division S&W Race Car Super Quick Series and received NHRA's signature trophy, the Wally. In 2001 Jerry made a name for himself at Sumerduck Dragway in Sumerduck, VA winning the 2001 super pro championship. Jerry didn't stop there at "The Duck" he was also crowned the champion in super pro in 2003, and 2004. In 2005 he also took home the championship crown at ODS winning the Top Sportsman Championship and in 2006 he won the Super Pro championship again at ODS. He couldn't leave his Wally sitting alone on the shelf and in 2009 won the IHRA Ironman Classic at Sumerduck Dragway in the Top ET class giving him the IHRA signature trophy, the Ironman. The next year, 2010, he doubled up by winning the Southern Outlaw Top Sportsman Championship as well as the ODS Super Pro Championship. He then traveled to Farmington, NC with team Duck and received the runner-up honor at the Division 1 IHRA Bracket Finals. He then headed to Waynesboro, VA for the SBRA Bracket Finals and received another runner-up for team Old Dominion, which also helped team ODS win the 2010 SBRA Bracket Finals! Jerry was able to hold on to his championship from ODS again this year, and once again Jerry showed what a magnificent racer he is by not winning one championship at ODS but winning THREE championships at ODS! That's right, he won the Super Pro, 5.99 and Quicker Door Car, and the C & C Top Sportsman Championship! He is also currently number one in points in the Southern Outlaw Top Sportsman chase. To add to Jerry's list of great achievements, he traveled to Farmington, NC again this year with his team at Sumerduck Dragway and carried them through to secure a number two seed as a team and took home another runner-up at the IHRA Division 1 Bracket Finals. Amongst these Jerry's career highlights are traveling the southeast division states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida, and winning the Wally in the S & W Quick Series; having a winner and runner-up at the $5k Top ET Race at Sumerduck Dragway and runner-up at IHRA & SBRA Bracket Finals, three times.
