Well, its over. The 2008 The Tire Rack One Lap of America has come to an end, and class and overall champions have been named. The Boxer4Racing/Continental Tire team finished 1st in class after a week long battle with the SRT4 of Doug Wind and Devin Clancy (last years mid-price winner and 5th overall).

He gets zero points, and I believe won the class then. I will update when results become available
