of rookies.
Those drivers will take center stage Sunday, Aug. 31 in one of the richest

in 2008, including first timers Brad Haudenschild, Josh Muntz, Cap Henry,
Travis Hoffbauer, Duane Zablocki and Nate Dussel.

Raceway Park championship with four feature wins; Kevin Lee who is only 26
points behind Brubaker; Dustin Dinan who has a feature win; Bobby Clark who
has a feature win at Fremont; Matt Merrill who has a victory; Steve Rando
who bested a field of 305 and 360 sprints; and many others.

Foster; 2001 - Bryan Scott; 2002 - Roger Shammo; 2003 - Scott Miller; 2004
and 2006 - Paul Weaver; and 2007 - Andy Shammo.

very entertaining division that deserves this race and the fans have
indicated over the years this is a must-see show."
