CRA Rookie Wins Championship

New Rookie vs Past Rookie!

Scott Hantz was ready to win his fourth CRA championship, and it came down to the last points race , the Winchester 400 . . . but, a young rookie named Derrick Griffin thought otherwise.  Derrick set the pole, led the most laps, and then took the 2011 CRA Super Series Championship along with Rookie of the Year honors.  “This is something you dream about, but who believes you can win a championship against these guys in your rookie year?”  Griffin commented.  “I just can’t believe it, it is great, just great.”  Back in 2000, Scott Hantz won his first CRA championship as a rookie as well, and both teams made it to the top with our 750 HP carburetor!  Congratulations to Derrick Griffin and team!
