Season points race still in question at Nevada Speedway

Racing was fast and furious as we get down to the end of the season at the speedway. There is not one division that has a clear cut winner at this point so it's anyone's guess who the 2008 track champions will be. Next week the Late models will race in the Labor Day special with a $1,500 first prize check at stake and this always makes racing exciting. The sixth will be our Season Championship races to determine who will be the 2008 track champions in each division as there is not one division that has a clear cut winner at this point. After season championship we have an MLRA race, a Factory Stock special and a Mini-Stock special. As always we want to see each and every one of you at the biggest little racetrack in the country.
