All the Pontiacs picked up their class win. John Schloe won the race ! But he had to put out Leo in the Semi. So, Pontiacs got the #1 qualifier & the Stock win ! Hey, that's a pretty good day for the Pontiac faithful.

The Burtons made the Topeka race. Scott was #8 @ -.853. Brad was #10 @ -.837. They were the only Pontiacs on the list.

OK, now we come to the Mile High Nats. This is the 1st race I've seen where Scott has moved up to B/SA, with the RAIV engine. Brad is #2 @ - 1.099. Scott is #8 @ -.982.

Well, Brad Burton got his 1st national Championship !

How cool is that ? And he did it in a Pontiac powered Pontiac. For me, that's WAY cool !

For you guys who have been keepin up with Stock racing for a long time, who was the last guy to win a Stock Championship, in a Pontiac V8 powered Pontiac, before Brad did it in 2010 ?
