Great season with car owners Zane and Vicki Highlands…Eleven combined wins between the 358 and 360 divisions which led Central PA….Led the way with five wins at the Grove and three at Selinsgrove and two at Lincoln…First career Williams Grove track championship for the Super Sportsman graduate…Looking for another strong year with the Highlands #3 team again next season…

Tops every season on the URC 360 Sprint car circuit…Three straight championships with Pat and Kathy Palladino but it will be their final one as Michael is heading over to the Bill Gallagher owned team for 2008...Michael was a three time winner with URC this season but had four overall wins…Four straight URC championships makes him one of the best ever in the series…

First season with Godfrey Motorsports produced the 358 Sprint championship at Selinsgrove Speedway…While Calaman had a good year, he took advantage of Blane Heimbach’s bad luck to secure the title…Calaman also finished fourth in Williams Grove points and won five times on the year…

An off season of some sorts but still good enough for the Lincoln Speedway 358 championship with car owner Michael Barshinger…Finished third in Williams Grove points and had two wins on the year..Competing in the 410’s fulltime in 2008 at Lincoln and back in the 358’s at the Grove is the plan…
