2008 Strutmasters.com 150 (Nashville)
From The Third Turn, a Wikia wiki
The 2008 Strutmasters.com 150 was a Camping World East Series event held at the Music City Motorplex on July 19, 2008. Trevor Bayne and Matt Kobyluck put on a contact-filled show, but late in the race Bayne found his tire flat and Kobyluck found himself in Victory Lane. Kobyluck became just the second repeat winner of the year, along with Brian Ickler. Furthermore, Kobyluck closed to just twenty points of Austin Dillon (3rd) in the championship battle.
[edit] Notes
- Derek Thorn (5th) and Craig Goess (9th) both earned their first career top-ten finish. Obviously, it was also Thorn's first ever top-five.
- Max Dumarey scored his first top-ten of the year, finishing 10th in his Fadden Racing Chevy.
- A.J. Henriksen and Cup winner Sterling Marlin both made their series debuts. Daniel Pope also made a race for the first time all season.
