The American Speed Association Northwest Sprint Car Series heads to Ephrata Raceway Park

Everett, WA – August 2, 2008 - The American Speed Association/Northwest Sprintcar Racing Association (ASA/NSRA) makes its one stop for the 2008 Championship season at Ephrata Raceway Park August 9th for the running of the Rebel Jackson Memorial presented by The C/P Starbound & Aleutian Spray Fisheries. 

The ASA/NSRA drivers make their ninth stop of the 2008 season with the top four in points having the same names but have trading positions.  Matt Hein in the #98h now leads the points with Andy Alberding in the #76 second by only sixteen points followed by Jake Mann in the #51 just one point behind second place and Justin Mack in fourth trailing third place by five points.  Twenty-two points separate the top four. 
The racing on the quarter-mile high banked oval in Ephrata will be tight and quick.  Drivers from the local winged sprint car series will join ASA/NSRA tour drivers on the track making a good finish for the top four ASA/NSRA drivers critical in their chase to the 2008 Championship!

The points battle for the fifth through the eighth positions is nearly as tight as the top four from Sierra Jackson in fifth to Greg Middendorf in eighth separated by thirty points.  Sandwiched between fifth and eighth is Cory Lockwood in sixth just one point behind Sierra Jackson and R. J. Fronsman in seventh only twelve points behind fifth place.
