The NASCAR Whelen All American Series Speedway Chevrolet Super Stock Division this season has seen the biggest car counts and most side by side racing action ever in the first two events of the season.  With a new for 2008 double file restart rule, fans were treated to fantastic restarts while competitors were given chances that normally they would never have had.  Jeff Knight in last week’s main event caught a late caution flag that gave him the front row spot next to Kelly Mann.  If not for that caution Jeff may have been relegated to his battle for second place with Mike Holden and John Zaretzke, however he had the chance for a win.  So far defending champion John Zaretzke, driving for new car owners this season, has posted consistent finishes to lead the points.  Wins are what he has always been about and certainly he has the equipment and talent to get to victory stage.  However, there is a deep pool of talented drivers standing in his way, including Naima Lang with one win already, Mike Holden, Kelly Mann (last weeks winner) and Chris Preston who round out the top five in that order.      

Even with Ricky “The Kid” Dietz finally defeating the hot streaking (5 main event wins in a row going back to 2007) “Cowboy” John Carlson in last week’s main event, Carlson continues to lead the point’s battle in the Pawn X-Change Super Figure Eights.  With Nick Gunderson and Bill Wade following closely behind, a host of other competitors mean to make it tough for Carlson, the defending champion, to hope for a repeat championship. 

For Jim Foti in the Les Schwab Tires Bomber Division this season so far has been about consistency.  Consistently winning heat races (2-2) and placing top tens (2-2) and finding himself on top of the points standings after two main events in the 2008 NASCAR Whelen All American Series track championship season.  Foti, involved in the 2007 Championship battle, is sure to find a way to win sooner or later this season.  A veteran and respected driver, he is strong in traffic and smooth out front.

With a first and third place finish in the first two main events of 2008 “The Mighty” Josh Young finds himself the points leader in the highly entertaining and fan favorite Stinger Eight division.  With defending champion Mike Middleton and Josh Laitila tied for second place in points and “The Wizard” Ben Chandler along with Seth Funden rounding out the top five.

This week the NASCAR Whelen All American Series continues its march towards the various championships with all the classes mentioned in action and the Crash Cars! as well.  Front gates open at 5:00pm with Racing at 7:00pm.  This season all heat races begin after 7:00pm making it a non stop racing adventure keeping fans and race teams on their toes!
