Four finalists named for JEGS ProMod Rookie of the Year
First-year racers Joe Baker, Roger Burgess, Taylor Lastor, and Brad
Personett have been selected as finalists for the 2008 JEGS ProMod
Challenge Rookie of the Year award. The winner will be announced
Sunday, Nov. 2, at the year-ending "Crowning of the King" ceremony at
Christian Audigier The Nightclub at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino on
the Las Vegas strip.
"All four of these finalists should be extremely proud of their
accomplishments this year," said series director Troy Coughlin. "I
congratulate them on being nominated for this award and I can say we
look forward to honoring the winner in Vegas. I'm also excited about
having all four of these great racers competing with us on the JEGS
ProMod Challenge for many years to come."
A last-minute replacement at the first race of the season in
Gainesville, Fla., Baker stunned the Pro Mod world by driving his '41
Willys from the No. 16 qualifying position to the winner's circle in
his first start in the JEGS ProMod Challenge.
