Justin Mack wins! Season point leader Matt Hein and second place Andy Alberding experience a less than stellar night. The seventh scheduled race of the season held at the picturesque Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval (WVSO) provided more reasonable temperatures along with cloudy skies for most the event. This race marks the start of the second half of the 2008 Championship season. Seventeen teams from Washington, Idaho, and Oregon, unloaded their sprint cars at the track and set about preparing the cars for the day’s event.

For Immediate Release
American Speed Association PR ASA RACING BECOMES FIRST TO OFFER INSURANCE PROTECTION ON-AND-OFF THE RACETRACK
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (December 13, 2007) The USA quite rightly leads the world in many, many fields, but sadly highway safety is certainly not one of them, said Eddie Wren, executive director of Drive and Stay Alive, Inc. on their web site. And with a reported 6,328,000 highway accidents*, Wren can easily backup his claim.
Certainly, some of these accidents must have involved a racer or team heading to or from the racetrack. And while every sanctioning body can claim some level of insurance protecting these competitors during an event, only the American Speed Association now offers protection while traveling to and from an ASA-sanctioned competition.
