Seventeen year-old Steve Erickson Jr. has been proving all year long he has the talent to compete in the veteran-laden Budweiser American Short Tracker division at the Rockford Speedway. For a rookie to step into a division immediately and compete with names like Sparkman, Melvin, McCoy and the like, one can already be impressed. But to also win against those names in your first year, now that is an accomplishment.

After a less than stellar beginning to the 2008 Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Model season, driver Tim Sargent seems to be putting it together as the season moves to a close. With blown engines and wrinkled sheet metal in his past, the look of victory lane is a far more comforting look for the South Beloit driver than the look of a repair shop.

Matt Berger has been one of the top runners all year long in the Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models at Rockford Speedway this 2008 season. He has set numerous fast times, won dashes and heats and sat as high as second in the point standings. The only thing left for the veteran driver to do was pop into victory lane on a Saturday night in the Speedway's premier division. Berger accomplished that goal this week on the high-banked quarter mile, becoming the sixth different winner in the Late Model class at Rockford this season.
