LOVES PARK, IL (Thursday, April 3, 2008) – One of the unique things about the Big 8 Series presented by Gandrud Chevrolet is the variety of drivers a fan will see at any of their 2008 events. You will see drivers with multiple track championships all the way to a young 14-year-old driver who surprised many last year at the Oktoberfest season finale.

That young driver is Ross Kenseth, the son of 2003 NASCAR Champion Matt Kenseth.
