The 2008 Heluva Good! Fall 125 was a Camping World East Series event held at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on September 13, 2008. Eddie MacDonald won the September race to go with his June victory at the track, making a thrilling pass of Steve Park as they flashed underneath the white flag. Points leader Matt Kobyluck all but locked up his championship with two races to go, as his third place run gave him a nearly insurmountable 192-point championship cushion on Austin Dillon (5th).

LOUDON, N.H. – Eddie MacDonald drove around Steve Park for the lead coming out of Turn 4 to the white flag lap en route to winning the Heluva Good! Fall 125 Saturday morning at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Park held on for second, followed by points leader Matt Kobyluck. Matt Hirschman, making his NASCAR Camping World Series East debut, finished fourth, and rookie Austin Dillon rounded out the top five. Kobyluck leads second-place Dillon by 192 points with two races remaining.
