Lonnie Wheatley, PHOENIX, Ariz. (July 4, 2008) – Reigning Discount Tire Co. American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region champion Jeremy Sherman kicked off the Fourth of July Weekend double header by racing to victory lane in Friday night's Firecracker 40 atop Manzanita Speedway's 1/3-mile clay oval. After starting the 40-lapper from the third position, Sherman made his way past front row starters Bob Ream, Jr., and Ken Caskey in the early going and led the rest of the way aboard Fred Bryan's Wesmar-powered F&E Development No. 77 for his fifth series triumph of the season. Sherman was chased across the line by fellow second row starter Charles Davis, Jr., with Shon Deskins taking the show position. Ream was fourth, with Mike Leslie rounding out the top five. Nathan High crossed the stripe sixth, with 14th-starter Justin Fisher, Josh Pelkey, 19th-starter Thomas Ogle and Andrew Reinbold completing the top ten. R.J. Johnson won the evening's Trophy Dash, then topped the opening heat race with High and Sherman victorious in ensuing heat races. The Discount Tire Co.
