Godfrey and

Happel had their streaks broken during week six, their

only losses of the season. Only nine total races were run

this season after one week was rained out. Both Godfrey

and Happel went on to win championships in their

divisions, tying for the most points accrued this season

with 947. It was the first Thursday Thunder title for

each.

Despite

winning every Moore Machinery Movers Bandits race he ran,

Logano could not wrestle the championship away from John

Wes Townley. After missing the first Bandits race of the

year, Logano never could make up the points difference.

Logano finished tied for second with Chris Cable, 25

points back.

Doug

Stevens became Thursday Thunder's first three-time

champion - and only repeat winner - by earning

his third straight Jasper Engines and Transmissions Pro

division championship. This year's title chase came down

to the wire, with both Sorenson and Jonathan Davenport

still in the running until the final race.

And at 59,

Jet Food Stores/MECO Masters champion Lloyd Wittenburg

became the oldest Thursday Thunder champion. Wittenburg

won four races and held off Randy Tidwell, Mark Wallace

and Rusty Lanier in the final weeks to earn his first

title.

David

Ragan, son of Legends of Georgia director Ken Ragan,

earned his first championship at Atlanta Motor Speedway

despite a broken wrist. Ragan broke his wrist last

Tuesday at Lowe's Motor Speedway, but was able to

complete one lap in Thursday's Cherokee Brick Semi-Pro

race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, sealing the championship.

In the

closest championship race of the year, Brian Meredith

edged fellow Morrow resident Andy James by two points in

the Chargers divisions. James won the final race, but

Meredith finished second to earn his first Thursday

Thunder championship.

In the

Allan Vigil Southlake Ford Young Lions Division, Brandon

McElroy held off Blake Powers in the final week to earn

his first Thursday Thunder championship.

The ten

weeks of Thursday Thunder racing action drew 168

different competitors from 88 cities across nine states.

Nine of the competitors this season were female, the most

in Thursday Thunder history. It will be hard to top the

record-setting excitement of the 2000 Thursday Thunder

season. But in ten short months, these drivers will be
