Billy Hutson was the 2007 Howe CRA Sportsman Champion beating out veteran Rick Rinehart, but not until the checkered flag fell on the series last event of the season. Hutson lost his points lead during that event after being involved in a huge accident that took out several other competitors. With the help of his crew and several other teams, Hutson was able to get back on the track and make enough laps to win the Championship after Rinehart was also forced to pit with a flat tire. In all the series had 73 different teams compete in 2007
