New Smyrna Speedway, FL

Jack Landis
has been here all week, but you would hardly know it. He hasn't
been his normal self. Instead, he's been finishing in the
back-half of the top-10, and not in contention to win. He also
got into a scrap with local driverBJ McLeod,
something Landis normally distances himself from.
But on
Wednesday night, he was back to his old self, taking a dominating
car to the front, passing two-time Super Late Model winner Jeff
Choquette en route to his first Speedweeks win of the 2008 season.
"We
didn't start out so good, but the longer we went, the better it
got," said Landis, a CRA Super Series regular and former ASA
National Tour driver. "I was going to try and get up on the
outside of him on one of those late restarts, so I just had to
wait and bide my time. The car was working so good, I just put it
on the bottom and went from there. I just want to thank Jeff,
because that was a nice clean race."
