The 2008 Foothills Toyota Tundra Racing Series wraps up its season this Saturday, Sept. 13, at Skagit Speedway.

For Barry Martinez, his second Outlaw 410 Sprint Championship is in sight.

The 2005 division leader seeks to add his name to an impressive list of drivers that have won two or more Outlaw 410 championships.

In order to do so, he is going to have to fend off the 2007 Rookie-of-the-Year winner Colton Heath, who has kept things interesting for his former mentor.

The two face off in the biggest race of the season, somewhere in the first three rows of the Main Event. Just 13 points separate the two.

In the Budweiser 360 Sprint division, the 15 points that separate Brian Kirkpatrick and Alan Munn are all that stand between both drivers' first ever track title. For the youngster Kirkpatrick the title comes in just a few short years of driving Sprint cars. For the veteran Munn, it would be his first title at Skagit Speedway as one of the longest tenured drivers at the track and the last driver to race at both Skagit Speedway and Sky Valley Speedway.

Racing for his first track championship is Kelsey Carpenter, who has an almost insurmountable 54 point lead heading into Championship night for the Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprint title. But there are just fourteen points separating the fight for second place between third generation driver Marc Schutte, Devin Madonia and rookie Kyle Oman.

There are two weekends of racing left for the Wilson Auto Brokers Outlaw Hornets. The regular season championship looks locked up for Ben Gunderson, who just needs to get show-up points to nail down his first title. Ken Higby and Cory Swatzina are tied for second and Wendy Johnson and Ashley Lewellen hope to lock down top 10 spots for the ladies in the division.

September 20 and 21 is the 4th Annual US Hornet Nationals and 1st Annual Hornet Enduro at Skagit Speedway.
