SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12

Championship Sunday has come and gone with another amazing event in the books to wrap-up the 2008 season of the Snap-on Stars of Karting presented by IndyCar Series. The National Finals at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada was completed following the exciting feature races that would decide the five class national champions. The ICC division saw a new driver earn the title of national champion as Canadian Michael Vincec completed a season of successful consistency, finishing on the podium in seven features that was highlighted by a victory at the Race of the Americas in June. Bryan Eady edged Michael Hogg to become the first-ever TaG ICC titlist while Victor Cabrera held on for the Stars TaG crown. The JICA category came down to the final lap for a second straight year with Brendan Phinny earning the championship and Trent Hindman crowned the Cadet champion in his first year in Stars competition.
