However, two divisions did manage to crown series champions during the evening.

A 100-lap race was scheduled for the Auto Club Late Model division but the race was checkered after 51 laps when rain ended the race.  Andrew Myers of Huntington Beach started third in the 25-car field, led the entire race and was proclaimed the winner scoring his second consecutive victory and 7th of the season. 

Tim Huddleston finished in second place which was good enough for the Agoura Hills resident to capture his second consecutive Auto Club Late Model division championship and third crown in the last four years including titles in 2005 and 2007.   Nick Joanides of Woodland Hills finished third in the race and took runner-up honors in the division standings along with the ACDelco Super Late Model division championship which he won on September 6.
