Fontana, Calif. (March 9, 2008) – Jeff Westphal overcame early anxiety to clearly post his first win of the 2008 season for PR1 Motorsports. With minutes to go before the cars were called to grid Jeff’s TNT Demolition/Cacci Construction, Van Diemen seemed to experience the same problem that kept him from leaving the grid on Saturday
causing a 15th place finish. When asked how concerned he was watching his team frantically work on the car, he replied,
“I tried to stay calm by talking with my teammates and not watching the team” but was confident they would solve the problem.
With moments left, the car was ready and Westphal was able to assume his position at the head of the field. At the green flag, the field took off as though it were a high speed pace lap with the first six positions 2 by 2 and nose to tail approaching turn three. All but Chuck Hulse in his Cave Freitas Racing, Silicon Salvage Van Diemen made it through cleanly, Hulse as a result of contact spun and rejoined at the rear of the field. As the field strung out, Westphal established a clear lead over Shaun Modisette, PR1 Motorsports, Carson Trailers Van Diemen, Peter Hansel, Comar
Performance Inc., GS610 Maximum Performance Brake Fluid Van Diemen, Robert Podlesni, Dave Freitas Racing, Terminal Velocity/Alpinstars Van Diemen, Nick Freytag, PR1 Motorsports, G Phactory/Sodi Kart Van Diemen, Max Hyatt, PR1 Motorsports, Performance Drink Van Diemen, Scott Rarick Piper/Fast Forward/Red Line Oil Piper and the
rest. Westphal began to pull out from Modisette who claimed “Jeff was a little faster today and I could see the battle going on behind me and concentrated on doing two perfect laps to get a gap over the battle for third”.
