In yet another venture by what may possibly be the busiest, and most diverse race team in the country, MDR's Nascar entry took to the track in round 1 of the first Ausfactor VHR Stockcar series for 2009. Initially a three car team personal commitments kept both Triggerfish and MDR-Quasi off track for the season opener, so it fell to Maxcat to fly the flag solo, in the #86 'Aussie Web Radio' Dodge.

Finding himself in good position Maxcat registered a 14th place overall, after crossing the line 10th and 14th in the two round heats. Team boss MDR-Quasi said only "Maxcat was put in an unusual position where he was the single team entry to run on the day, and was entrusted with getting the job done for Mad Dog Racing and our sponsor, and he acquitted himself well, which we knew he would. I have all the confidence in the world in him and he's done pretty well this season so far."
