The Winged Sprint cars were being pushed off as the Modifieds left the track this turned out to be a two car battle between Graham and Ross with Roger pervailing at the end with his second win of the afternoon .
Next the fastest of the fast the U.S.A.C. Sprint cars .Carl Ross had everything going his way in this race as he stayed out of trouble during the race,a big mid race crash between Roger Graham and Larry Granger sent both cars hard into the first turn wall with Rogers car taking down the wall and leaving the speedway after a short delay the race was restarted with Carl taking down the win in his Carls Custom Wing Sprintcar.

Race Recap

The final race o f the 2008 season was held at the super fast South Marion Raceway ,a good field of cars signed in at the pit gate with a driver returning to the sunhine state to make the final race, welcome back Bruce from a successful racing season in the N.E.
The first race to hit the track was the always popular Street Stocks who beat and banged there way to a two car race by two hired guns Carl the Flying Fossil Whitehouse driving for the Graham Racing team and Bruce Beaulieu driving for the ever potent Fubar Racing Ent.
In final laps the flying Fossil snuck by and got the win with Bruce hanging on for a well deserved second.

Next up were the mighty Modifieds ,this race was a hotly contested race for third place with Larry Granger,Da Fossil and Bruce Beaulieu .In the end it was Roger Graham pulling out the win with Carl Ross second Da Fossil,Larry Granger,Bruce Beaulieu rounding out the top five.

The Winged warriors the 410 Sprinters hit the track for there final show of 2008 and put on one of there best shows this year with Colemans own Roger Graham taking the checkers for the second time today in his very fast Graham Trucking Sprinter ,Larry Granger in his Fubar Chevy grabing second place with hired gun Bruce Beaulieu driving Larrys backup car just edging out Carl Ross in a photo finish at the line for third place ,the Flying Fossil had some motor issues and finnished a distant fifth

As the 410s were exiting the track the fast of the fast was being pushed off and getting fired up for there final race of 2008.This race was not going to disappoint anyone as Larry Granger in his fuel injected small block 358 Chevy ran a strong steady race to claim the final checkered flag of the season followed by Carl Ross in the Priceless Scrapbooking sponsered injected 358 Chevy ,Roger Graham ,Bruce Beaulieu with Carl Whitehouse pulling down fifth place after crashing with a late entry who towed in from N.Florida Lee Graham a family member of Roger Graham (looking at the two you would think they were cloned) Lee driving one of the Graham Race teams Ford powered Sprinter rode over the wheel of Da Fossil sending Lee into a series of barrel rolls down the front stright,the driver was sore after his wild ride but other wise OK, but the car took alot of damage looks like Roger will be burning the mid-night oil to get the car rebuilt for next week.

......................................Roger Graham.........................................



The weather was cool but the cars and track were anything but cool, hot and fast the new reconfigured track with new banking in turns 3/4 made for some action filled close racing as can be seen in the results almost every race went to a tie breaker.
The first cars to take to the track were the Street Stocks ,The race turned out to be the cleanest race of the day with Larry Granger pulling out a two lap race win.The race for second place turned out to be a fender to fender battle between Carl Ross and Roger Graham with Carl pulling out second place with a tie breaker (fastest lap)followed by Bruce Beaulieu testing a new motor for this class holding on to forth over Carl Whitehouse.
The big block Modifieds took over the oval ,a few crashes but nothing big as it took the modifieds a few laps to get dialed in to the track but once they did the race was on, again a close race with Bruce Beaulieu driving for Graham Racing ent.in the new Fla. Gator National Championship machine edging out Carl Ross for the win with Roger Graham third ,Larry Granger in forth followed by Carl Whitehouse a distant fifth.
The high powered alcohol breathing Winged Outlaw Sprint Cars climbed the banking as they were pushed off ,this race was a crash fest as the banking upped the already fast speeds these cars can do, we had one red flag as a big crash in turn one had one car flipping up against the outer wall while collecting another two cars that were trying to avoid the crash.After the dust had settled Roger Graham driving the Graham Racing Ent.fuel injected Chevy coming in first just edging out Bruce Beaulieu driving for the Fubar Racing Team (again a tie breaker-fast lap)following a distant third 3 laps off the pace was Larry Granger who had some handling problems with Carl Ross another 2 laps back in forth ,Carl Whitehouse fifth
Next to hit the track was the Fire Belching alcohol breathing U.S.A.C. Sprint cars after seeing the wing cars put on there show the the drivers settled down a bit as there was really no big crashes a few spins and tangles but nothing like the winged warriors .This race came down to the end with Roger Graham again taking the checkers in his pink Graham Racing Ent. Chevy it seems that his Sprinters really hooked up to the new track. Pulling into second (again a tie breaker-fast lap) was Larry Granger driving the U.S.Post office Chevy just beating Carl Ross in his R.P.M. Chevy with Bruce Beaulieu coming in forth in a ill handling sprint car rounding out the field was Carl Whitehouse in the Golden Corral Spl.

This Sunday there was no stopping Roger Graham as he won three of the four feature events . First class to get on the track were the Street Stocks a fairly clean accident free race saw the first win of the day by Roger Graham followed by Carl Ross second Larry Granger coming in third and Bruce Beaulieu forth still testing the new spec crate motor for this class. After the dust settled Rogers car was protested the motor torn down but was found legal.
Up next the mighty fire breathing Modifieds this was the most hotly contested race of the day with a hired gun Bruce Beaulieu driving one of Roger Grahams backup cars sponsored by the Nat. Champion Gators pulling out a close win over Carl Ross driving his own R.P.M. Motorsports Ford powered Modified coming in third was Larry Granger in his So.Marion Raceway Chevy Modified with Roger Graham who could not get his car dailed in rounding out the top four.
The Winged Warriors the 410 Sprints were being pushed off this was a crash filled race as before the ten lap mark there was atleast four cautions but after the drivers settled down the race ran fairly clean a few spins but nothing major. Again Colemans Roger Graham took home the checkers the second week in a row winning this class with Bruce Beaulieu following Roger in second ,Carl Ross driving a sick ill powered car to a third place finish with Larry Granger also nursing home a ill handling car for a forth place finish.
Next cars to take to the track were the very fast U.S.A.C. Sprintcars the race turned out to be a fairly competitive race no major crashes as again the Doctor of Computers Roger Graham took home his third feature of the day and his second win in two weeks driving his ever potent Pinkys Diner Spl. again followed in second by Bruce Beaulieu with Carl Ross just edging out Larry Granger for third .
Next week the cars return to Carls Hurricane Raceway for the Super Sunday Shootout.The Street Stocks will battle it out in the twin 100 lap feature races . The 410 Sprintcars and the U.S.A.C.
