(Oregon, WI) June 24, 2008 - Michael Bilderback could only shake his head and the hand of Ryan Carlson in victory lane after Tuesday's Rockweiler Insulation 38 lap feature for the BRB Big 8 Late Model Series. In early May, Bilderback led the white flag lap at Madison International Speedway only to be passed by Jeremy Miller on the final circuit. Working the high line around "Wisconsin's Fastest Half-Mile," Bilderback went wheel to wheel with Carlson for the final five laps only to fall short for a second time in 2008. In a finish almost too close to be decided by transponders, Carlson nipped Bilderback by a matter of 0.003 seconds for his third career Big 8 win.

Oregon, Wis., June 24-The old saying 'if it's not broke, don't fix it' played out perfectly Tuesday night at the Madison International Speedway as Steve Carlson drove to victory in the Swiss Colony All-Star Challenge, leading all 100 laps before holding off Matt Kenseth at the checkered flag.

"I ran real good here last month and just literally parked the car in the garage and waited for this race," Carlson explained from victory lane. "I felt we had a real good car and everything was going good until that last caution," Carlson continued, "I was real nervous with Matt (Kenseth) behind me. I thought he might have been just waiting in the weeds there, but I guess not."
