| December 21, 2019 - Henderson's Gateway Dirt Nationals Cut Short with Concussion |
 Matt Henderson made the trip to The Dome at America’s Center (St. Louis, Missouri) on Thursday evening kicking off the fourth annual Arizona Sports Shirts Gateway Dirt Nationals. With a time trial session on Thursday setting up a round of preliminary features on Friday, Matt logged the 14th fastest time in his group.
 Rolling off third in his heat race, Henderson inherited the lead late in the race to capture the 8-lap victory. Starting the $5,000-to-win preliminary feature in sixth, Matt was an early retiree from the 25-lapper on the ninth lap due to overheating issues. He was credited with an 18th place outing.

Starting in fifth in his B-Main on Saturday evening for one final shot at the $30,000-to-win finale, Henderson was up to 3rd on the high-side but hard contact with the wall on the sixth lap ended his night immediately. He was later transferred to a St. Louis hospital where he was diagnosed with a severe concussion and cervical strain.

 With Mother Nature shifting the event from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon, Matt Henderson was one of 22 Topless Outlaws Series entries on hand at I-75 Raceway (Sweetwater, Tennessee) for the season finale. Laying down the fourth fastest lap in his time trial group, Henderson locked into the fourth-starting position for the $2,500-to-win A-Main. After a handful of botched restarts shortened the feature from 40 to 30 laps, Matt suffered a severely damaged driveshaft late in the race that prevented him from finishing and dropped him back to second in the final Topless Outlaw Series point standings.
