Four Champions Crowned at Hollywood Hills Speedway @ Casino Hollywood
by Bob & Karen Ingram
9-20-2008 --- Hollywood Hills Speedway @ Casino Hollywood, San Felipe Pueblo, New Mexico. On the final night of the regular season four drivers were crowned champion. In the Non-Winged Sprint Cars, the #45X of Johnny Herrera won the crown even though he was racing at Aztec Speedway in a Winged Sprint. 

The Sprints had the smallest field of the year with only 14 cars as several of the local drivers elected to race a ASCS Rocky Mountain Winged race at Aztec Speedway. However the cars that did come out put on some great racing.

In heat #1 the #11W of Tim West who took second place in the season championship took off like a shot out of a cannon and took the win over the #73 of Nick Rael with the #26 of Randy Smith coming home in third. 

Heat #2 saw Rick Johnson who just recently took over the driving duties in the Bill Richards #7 take the win over rookie Jordan Mattson in the #24 with the #93 of Jon Taylor filling out the top three spots. The 20 lap Main-Event saw several early caution flags but once the racing settled down there was side-by-side racing with many battle for position throughout the field. At the checkered flag it was the #73 of Nick Rael who was making only his third start of the year taking the win over the #93 of Jon Taylor. Chasing Rael and Taylor to the stripe were the #52NM of David Burns, #4X Cody Mansfield and the #11W of Tim West rounding out the top five spots. Burns in the #52NM was making a great comeback after being involved in a hard rollover just two weeks ago that saw him spend a night in the hospital after suffering a brain concussion.

With the regular season coming to an end, there is still two more BIG weekends of racing, with a two day Modified show next weekend the 26th & 27th with over 40 Modifieds being joined by the Street Stocks and the Cruisers. Then the HUGE season finale will have the World of Outlaws and the Modifieds closing out the year at HHS on the 11th & 12th of October.

Have A Great Day
God Bless Everybody
