The 2008 season is underway, and much like last year, the same people are up front, Dossey, VanMeter, Harmon, Stewert, Carlson, the same big names from all over the country.  Can one of the young guns like, Tunny, Hargraves, Turner, Hiene, Henson, Peters, or any other one make a big impact on the 2008 figure-8 season?  Stay, tuned and we will be keeping a watchful eye on the old veterans, and the young lions of figure-8 racing throughout the 2008 season. 

 Speaking of the old veterans look for fromer World Championship runner-up and National Figure-8 Champion Rich Fenwick to make a return to part-time figure-8 racing in the very near future, maybe even this Saturday driving for Steve Brown in the new fenwick built car.  This winter Brown purchases a brand new, state of the art figure-8 car from Fenwick for his driver Rodney Sizemore.  Rodney, who drove the 2007 Greig car to a early season points lead last Sunday afternoon, hasn't shown much interest.  So look for Fenwick to drive it himself, if Rodney does decide to drive the new car, which is planning on being tested this Thursday, look for Rich to jump into the old Sizemore car that he has been driving.  No matter what car he is in, if Rich can capture his old fire and driving style he will be a force to reckoned with. 

 Also this Saturday marks the return on 2003 Modifed Champ, Johnny Hargraves, who was suppose to run a part-time schedule throughout the 2008 season, is now looking for sponsorship help to run the entire 2008 season, and contending for the chase and 2008 Rookie of the Year Honors.  In the same that lil' brother drove in the 2006 season, and himself and Mike St. John drove late in the 2007 season, with a few modifications and upgrades, look for Johnny add to the excitment in the 2008 season. 

 Another Hargraves is schedule to make his late-model debut this weekend, Chuckie Hargraves, the oldest of the Hargraves boys has teamed up with Steve Frost to make his rookie run in 2008.  Chuckie has raced in stocks, modifieds, hornets, and roadrunners throughout his many years at the track.

Also look for more appearances to add the late-model excitement, has veterans Jeff Hizer, Donnie Garrigus II & III, Artie B. Ware, Mark Harmon, Jerry Newkirk, Bill Tunny Jr, Charlie Oaks, and many other will soon make their names known for the 2008 season.
