The National Speed Association Pro Stock Asphalt Sled Series reached another milestone this season with the first annual Wahl Bros. Racing Asphalt Challenge series. The Wahl Challenge Champion was determined at the 4th Annual NSA Pro Stock Asphalt race, presented by Dalton Industries, at Maryland Int'l Raceway on Saturday, Aug. 16. The Wahl points series came to an exciting ending as the Champion was determined in the final round of the last event in the 3-race mini-series.
The idea of the Wahl Bros Racing Asphalt Challenge came from Dave Wahl, owner of Wahl Bros. Racing Products. Dave Wahl has raced snowmobiles for decades and has contributed to the success of snowmobile racing through his undying dedication to the sport.
This season the Wahl Bros. Racing Asphalt Challenge was comprised of the following three NSA events:
June 28 - Maple Grove Raceway, Mohnton, Pa.
July 12 - New England Dragway, Epping, N.H.
August 16 - Maryland Int'l Raceway, Mechanicsville, Md.
Jeremy Hannen (Durand, Mich.) took the early lead in the Wahl Challenge with his win in Mohnton, Pa., on the McBurney Racing Pro Stock Ski-Doo. Then Jeff Cullen (Gray, Maine) quickly jumped ahead with the lead after his win in Epping, N.H., on the Abbott Racing Polaris IQ.
Wahl Bros. Asphalt Challenge final results:
1st - Ken Lund, Brunswick, Maine, Wise Man Racing
2nd - Travis Merrill, Durham, Maine, Chuckaroo Motorsports
3rd - Jeff Cullen, Gray, Maine, Team Abbott Racing
4th - Kristin Stanley, Gray, Maine, PCS Performance
Lund is the first to receive his name on the Limited Edition Wahl Racing trophy as the 2008 Champion in the Wahl Racing series. This "traveling" trophy has several name plates on it and will travel year to year with the winner of each season's Wahl Challenge.
