MONROE, Washington -- The NASCAR Whelen All American Series was in action at the speedway with the Speedway Chevrolet Super Stocks, Pawn X-Change Super Figure Eights, Stinger Eights, Hornets and Crash Cars! Great weather and excited fans made for an evening of the best in Motorsports entertainment from the biggest and best attended stock car racing facility in the Pacific Northwest. NASCAR's only Home Track in the Pacific Northwest in proud of its top tier drivers and it's enthusiastic fans.

The top tier Speedway Chevrolet Super Stocks started the evening with hotly contested heat races that featured a fabulous battle with a side-by-side, lap after lap race between Jason Frasier and Kelly Mann. Eventual heat race winner Jason Frasier was not so lucky in the main event when a first lap melee relegated him and Jeff Holden to the pits for repairs. As the race unfolded, Jeff Knight took command, with Kelly Mann, Mike Holden, John Zaretzke and Rookie James Mugge in pursuit. Kelly Mann wrestled the lead away from Jeff Knight but had to battle him more than once as Evergreen's "Double File Restart" rule for 2008 showed the fans what real short track Saturday night racing is all about. Mann's last restart was perfect as he accelerated to victory. On victory stage he referred to his heat race as very exciting and really enjoyed the side-by-side action all evening long.

The Pawn X-Change Super Figure Eights ran another barn burner of a main as "The Cowboy" John Carlson was going for a career best six main events in a row extending back to the 2007 racing season. Ricky "The Kid" Dietz after experiencing tough times the first two weeks finally climbed up onto victory stage. Carlson had troubles in the main and retired to the pits as Dietz after following the Cowboy from the very back of the main to the front held off Nick Gunderson for the win.

Stinger Eights had not only an A-Main but a last chance race as well! Defending Champion Mike Middleton came from deep in the pack to dominate a main that was loaded with "intersection" as cars dodged and ducked each other with near misses and some crashes. Another fan favorite main event in the books for the highly entertaining Stinger Eights.

The always-enjoyable Hornets ran Evergreen's custom "road course" and kept fans pointing, laughing and cheering as Patrick Heald, Chris Williamson and Chuck Brewster finished top three consecutively. SVR Construction Services led the field on the parade laps with their shiny new dumpster delivery truck.
