‘Queen’s’ Result

The Short Motorsports team looked to have a good showing at the final race of the ‘08 season. $5,000 was up for grabs as some of the nations’ big names rolled into town. Steve would start in the second row in his heat, behind Bryan Matthews and Knoxville regular Justin Zimmerman. On a heavy track, starting position proved crucial as the cushion was midtrack. Steve tried everything he could to get around Zimmerman for second, for an entry into the nights’ dash, but Zimmerman held on to second with a half-car length over the 8s. Steve and the crew would then set their sights on moving up in the ‘A’ main.
Starting in the sixth row Steve had his work cut out for him. With the track starting to widen out, Steve found the bottom within the first three laps and was on the move. Picking off the leaders one by one, Steve proved to be one of the fastest cars on the track. In the final laps running 5th, Steve hunted down Danny Smith from a straightaway back and began to work on the ‘original outlaw’. Searching for a faster line to get by the famous #4, Tim Montgomery would sneak by Steve on the final lap for the 5th position. Steve would come home a stout 6th place wearing the Macy Monroe winning designed helmet.

Special thanks to all of our fans during the ‘08 season. You helped to drive the 8s this year. What a season it was, we hoped you enjoyed it as much as we did. Thank you.
