Pontoon Beach, IL (August 8, 2008) Billy Faust held off Randy Korte for all twenty-five laps of the main event to earn his fifth Super Late Model victory of 2008 at Tri-City Speedway. Faust's win allowed him to increase his already commanding point lead for the track championship, he now leads the point standings by 274 points over second place Chad Zobrist. Mark Oller would finish in the third spot behind Korte with Chris Smyser claiming fourth and Zobrist rounded out the top five.
Tommie Seets, Jr. claimed his second feature win of 2008 at Tri-City Speedway in the Modified division as he is currently in third place of the point standings behind Bobby Martintoni and Ray Walsh. Unfortunately Seets elected not to become a track member for this season and will not be recognized in the final point standings at the end of the season. The top four in the Modified point standings each have two victories this season. Following Seets across the line in second place was Martintoni. There was great battle in the closing laps for the third spot, with Matt Mevert beating out fourth place finisher Marty Smith, Jr. and fifth place finisher Mike Harrison.

After a tough heat race, Bobby Dauderman rallied from the twelfth starting spot to take the lead with just three laps remaining to earn the victory in the UMP Pro Late Model division. That was Dauderman's seventh win in just nine events and gives him a commanding 188 point lead in the point standings. Daniel Heck, who led the feature event for the first seventeen laps would finish in the second spot. Rylan Dagg would finish third with Casey Montague fourth and Brad Denny fifth.

Danny Ems rolled to his fifth UMP Street Stock victory of 2008 at Tri-City Speedway. Ems passed point leader Josh Jackson on lap five and pulled away to a commanding win. Jackson would finish second to maintain his point lead by 88 points over Richie Gabriel and 104 points over third place Ems. Gabriel would finish third in the feature with Jimmy Bell claiming fourth and Andy Beavers completed the top five.

Jon Ripperda made his first visit of 2008 to Tri-City Speedway and claimed a hard fought victory in the UMP 4 Cylinder (Factory Stock) division. Ripperda led a pack of six cars that battled in out lap after lap to earn the victory. Rob Shaw would finish in the second spot with Jason Schmidt finishing third. Schmidt's third place finish propelled him into the point lead by just six points over Bob Zbinden. Justin Shaw would finish fourth with Zbinden completing the top five.
