April 18th - Barefoot Billy qualified with the fastest time and placed first in the main event.

May 2nd - At the beginning of the race, Barefoot hit the tractor tire that marks the course. This sent his front end out of alignment, but he managed to place second in the race.

June 27th - Barefoot Billy had the fastest time and won the main event.

July 25th - Barefoot spun early in the race but caught the leaders eleven laps later. In the twelfth lap, he got tangled with car #07. This spun him backwards over the finish line to place third with #07 on his hood.

September 12th - Barefoot had fast time and placed first in the main event.

October 31st - In the West Coast Figure 8 Championship at Toyota Speedway of Irwindale, Barefoot raced in the Twin 50 Lap race where he qualified in 3rd place.  In the first 50 laps, he took the lead during lap 35 and won the first 50 laps. Coming out for the next 50 laps, Barefoot was scrubbing his tires and got a flat. He came back and started 14th. Then, he raced his way up to 3rd place and finished 3rd for the second 50 laps.

Barefoot won the Trophy Dash at the race track in San Bernardino at the Orange Show Fair Grounds on Saturday May 16, 2009.
