Lapped car erases an otherwise great Bristol performance.

Despite battling the other race teams Stump and the 5K Mototrports Team battled an unusual factor - tires. It seemed that the Hoosier Racing Radials were not the right selection for the 2008 ASA Late model Series battle.

With the race winding down, Stump found himself comfortably running in the fifth position with less than fifteen laps remaining. Then while attempting to pass a car twenty laps down, they suddenly crashed in turn one bringing out the race events final caution, but sending Stump and his 5K motorsports - Stump and Associates Chevrolet to the pits.

"The team did a fantastic job here tonight and we were looking at a fourth or fifth place finish. Once again the lapped cars did not respect the leaders. I don't know why he was still out there when he was more laps down than what laps were remaining in the race". Commented a very disapointed Stump after the race.

"Americas Premier Short Track Series", Challenge Division moves on to the "Milwaukee Mile" on the weekend of August 23rd and 24th to compete in the Governors Cup 150.

“That’s all behind us now. Our focus is on Bristol and we will be glad to have Kris back in the car”. Stated team owner Ken Wills.
