The best race you saw in 2008?

I saw the question on another board and thought it might make a good topic here.

Mine was the regular show at Bloomington where Dickie Gaines beat Bobby Stines coming out of turn four on the last lap.

Kyle,
This isn't fair. I go as often as you, and to narrow down to one is tough. Darland from the tail to win at Kokomo would have to be my favorite. Sumar Classic at THAT would be a real close second.

The best I seen this year was ISW at kokomo. The drive by hunter shurenburg was outstanding.

Our favorite race was the Haubstadt race that Daron Clayton won. He has such a tough year it was great to see him get one.

Gotta say that I concur: Dynamite Dave Cardey taking Demon and The Rocket as they fought every turn for the Friday Oval Nationals checkered was hands down the best race I saw. Though the back-from-last Hunter win at Kokomo made for the best taped race I saw.

Can't remember the race, Darland won, at THAT, but the first and second went after it for about 10 or so laps.

The Hulman at THAT. Great weather, great racing, happy to be back at Terre Haute.
