Watson, Young, McLaughlin, Huge crowned 2008 Champs!
by Jay Pees
Conneaut, OH, (August 8, 2008): Weather was threatening all day long, but when race time rolled around, the skies were clear and the temperature cool. The racing was hot as points championships were on the line. Bobby Powell won the Precision Weld Fab FASTRAK finale, leading flag-to-flag, but it wasn’t enough to catch points leader Jay Watson as Watson ran second, securing the title of Champion. The Applebee Motorsports E-Mod went into the final laps of their feature as leader Jack Young had problems early in the event, spinning and having to restart in the rear. Young worked his way through traffic and advanced enough positions to deny the championship to Rich Michael Jr. The Joslin-Landis Insurance Agency Street Stock points race was the tightest at the end with leader Ken Zimmer holding a slim 13 point advantage over challenger Dave McLaughlin. Zimmer’s night turned sour early in the feature when he was hit from the rear causing him to spin in traffic only four laps from the finish, allowing McLaughlin to win the championship by 3 slim markers, unofficial at the time of this release. Even though Ed Huge was the first to drop out of the Mini-Stock feature, his points cushion was enough to insure his season finished at the top of the chart. Raceway 7 wishes to congratulate all of the 2008 champions.
