June 7, 2008 – The Nascar Crew Challenge, TNT, 2 thunderstorms, and perseverance brought exciting times to the always competitive Hamlin Speedway! A demonstration of “Never Say Die” by the Hamlin staff resulted in an action packed night of racing and celebrity autographs! DMI Manufacturing sponsored the night with EBU giveaways with an Orange County Chopper on display. It was a night to remember with special thanks to the 270cc micro sprints for stepping up to the plate to help run-in the track! TNT production of Hamlin Speedway aired in the Pocono pre-race show! It was awesome!
The always-exciting “Nascar Crew Challenge” took place following interviews with Sean Kerlin - #48 team, Aaron Kuehn - #24 team, and Ron Malec - #48 team, and an autograph session for the fans in the concession area. Also in attendance were Joe Nemechek and his son John. They came to Hamlin to see the slingshots and are considering a return in August. A total of 11 Nascar competitors hit the track with total fan support! Winning heat #1 was the #327 of Ron Malec with the #23 of Aaron Kuehn in 2nd. Heat #2 was won by #39 of Sean Kerlin with the #51b of Gene Pasquade in 2nd. The feature lineup, with an inversion re-draw put the #23 of Aaron Kuehn on the pole with #39 of Sean Kerlin on the outside. In the Collins-owned #39 slingshot – Sean Kerlin jumped into the lead and to earn his 3rd victory circle visit since 2003! Coming home 2nd for the 2nd time was the #23 of Aaron Kuehn, with #327 of Ron Malec in 3rd. Rounding out the top 5 was #50 of Jeremy Sharpley and #13x of Kirk George in 5th.
