Josh Fisher Named 360 National Sprint Car Rookie of the Year
Winged Outlaw Warrior's Rookie of the Year for 2007 added the National Rookie of the Year to his list of accomplishment. Fisher ended the 2007 season second in points behind 2007 WOW Points Champ, Randy Martin. The 17 year old high school student challenged for the championship and held the point lead mid-season. Fisher recorded four feature wins in his first season in 360 sprint car racing.
Jason Johnson Wins Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lake Ozark
ELDON, Mo. (July 5, 2008) – Jason Johnson topped the Daniel McMillin Memorial event for the second time in as many years with a hard-fought victory at Lake Ozark Speedway on Saturday night. While Johnson officially led all 30 circuits, he had to withstand heavy pressure through traffic much of the way before collecting a series' best seventh feature win of the season aboard Lanny Row's Wesmar-powered The Shop Motorsports/Custom Equipment Design No. 41 Eagle.
Johnson gridded the feature field outside the front row. And after outgunning polesitter Garry Lee Maier for the point at the drop of the green, "The Ragin' Cajun" tried to check out. But Maier had other ideas. As did Gary Taylor, who surged from 12th to fourth in the opening three laps, along with Jack Dover and Wayne Johnson, all of whom were in the mix over the final half of the race. Maier proved to be Johnson's biggest threat, slicing away at an early six car-length advantage as lapped traffic came into play ten laps in. Looking for his first series win of the year, Maier shadowed Johnson through traffic with Washington state native Taylor making it a three-car breakaway by the midway point. Looking for the ideal opportunity for several rounds, Maier was finally able to pull alongside Johnson through turns three and four on the 21st circuit in a bid for the lead. But Johnson fought off the challenge and then made a swift maneuver between a pair of cars a lap later to open a bit of breathing room.
