May 27

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Tim Crawley won a last-lap dice with Wayne Johnson May 27 at Clarksville Speedway to take his second-straight O’Reilly USCS Speedweek triumph.
After crashes on the first three attempts to start the race, Don Young took the lead on the fourth try and set the pace through the first 17 laps, with Johnson taking the point on lap 17.
Three laps later, Crawley, who was driving Mike Ward’s No. 88, took second from Young and began chasing Johnson.
After a couple of yellow flags slowed the pace, Crawley grabbed the lead from Johnson with five laps of the quarter-mile oval remaining.
“I was trying to get under him down in the dust,” Crawley said, “and I just decided to drag the wing back and go for it on the outside.”
Crawley held off Johnson, with Terry Gray, Kenny Adams and Marshall Skinner rounding out the top five.
The finish:
Tim Crawley, Wayne Johnson, Terry Gray, Kenny Adams, Marshall Skinner, Joe Young, Raymond Stull, Don Young, Danny Martin, Jr., Justin Carver, Anthony Nicholson, Lee Sowell, Derek Hagar, John Stinson, Ronny Howard, Nick DeFeo, Zach Chappell, Greg Merritt, Bryn Gohn.

Thursday

CAMDEN, Tenn. — Wayne Johnson enjoyed his O’Reilly United Sprint Car Series Speedweek triumph Thursday on the round banks of Camden Speedway.
Starting inside the front row, Johnson beat two-time Speedweek winner Tim Crawley on the start and was never challenged despite four yellow flags and one red flag.
“This track is awesome,” said Johnson after winning $2,000. “Everyone told me that I would like this place; they were right. I hear it’s not normally this wet, but I believe it could slick off and you could go just as fast.”
Johnson, winner of three USCS events in 2007, kept on the cushion to let his Charlie Fisher 360 engine eat traffic. Crawley sought his third- straight Speedweek score, but could not keep Johnson in sight.
On lap 17, Crawley surrendered second to six-time and defending O’Reilly USCS National champion Terry Gray.
Johnson held off Gray to the checkered flag, while Crawley stopped with power-steering problems on lap 24.
Lee Sowell came home third, ahead of Don Young and Derek Hagar.
The finish:
Wayne Johnson, Terry Gray, Lee Sowell, Don Young, Derek Hagar, Justin Carver, Marshall Skinner, Bryn Gohn, Bryce Vowan, Ernie Ainsworth, Anthony Nicholson, Dewayne Prince, Danny Martin, Jr., Chris Williams, Wayne Reutimann, Jr., Raymond Stull, Joe Young, Tim Crawley, Ronny Howard, Greg Merritt, Wade Oliver, Kenny Adams.

Friday

TUSCUMBIA, Ala. — Driving Mike Ward’s No. 88, Tim Crawley came on strong during the closing laps to collect his third O’Reilly United Sprint Car Series Speedweek victory Friday night at North Alabama Speedway.
Don Young led the first 22 laps, while Crawley worked his way from the rear of the field after having spun on lap four. Six-time USCS champion Terry Gray grabbed the lead from Young on lap 23. As Gray set the pace, Wade Oliver and Crawley battled for second, exchanging the spot numerous times.
On the final lap, Crawley raced past Oliver entering turn three and got a run on Gray exiting the fourth turn.
Crawley won the drag race to the checkered flag by a car length. Gray finished second, with Kenny Adams, who restarted at the rear after a run-in with a lapped car earlier in the race, taking third.
Oliver and Marshall Skinner rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Tim Crawley, Terry Gray, Kenny Adams, Wade Oliver, Marshall Skinner, Matt Linder, Don Young, Danny Martin, Jr., Raymond Stull, Lee Sowell, Anthony Nicholson, Bryn Gohn, Bryce Vowan, Joe Young, Wayne Reutimann, Jr., Clint Weiss, Derek Hagar, Dewayne Prince, Chris Williams, Greg Merritt, Ray Bugg, Ronny Howard.

Saturday

COLUMBUS, Miss. — What a difference a day makes.
The 2006 O’Reilly United Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year Derek Hagar recovered from a bad night at North Alabama Speedway on Friday to scorch the competition in the 30-lap O’Reilly USCS Speedweek 2008 finale at Columbus Speedway.
The talented 17-year-old led every lap of the main event while racing high on the track with his right-rear tire against the wall most of the distance around the historic three-tenths-mile red-clay oval. It was a performance that came just 24 hours after he suffered minor burns when he was splashed with methanol and his No. 9jr mount caught fire due to a loose fuel cap.
Danny Martin, Jr. came in second for his best Speedweek finish. Marshall Skinner was third, while Lee Sowell and Don Young rounded out the top five.
Skinner and Tim Crawley shared the Speedweek championship after both drivers accumulated 852 points apiece, edging Terry Gray, whose broken U-joint while running second with three laps remaining in the finale cost him the overall title, was third in the standings with 844 points.
The finish:
Derek Hagar, Danny Martin, Jr., Marshall Skinner, Lee Sowell, Don Young, Kenny Adams, Tim Crawley, Justin Carver, Buster Dickerson, Anthony Nicholson, Wayne Reutimann, Jr., Bryn Gohn, Raymond Stull, Bryce Vowan, Clint Weiss, Ronny Howard, Wade Oliver, Terry Gray, Matt Linder, Ray Bugg.
