2008 USAC Gold Crown Series (Johnsonverse)

The 2008 USAC Gold Crown Series presented by NTT season was the 53rd national championship season of American open wheel racing sanctioned by USAC. The season consisted of 40 races.
2008 was notable for seeing 11 teams and 22 drivers joining the series from the recently-defunct Formula Nippon Series, an open-wheel series that ran exclusively in the Japanese States; USAC and Formula Nippon had been discussing making the race at Fuji Speedway a combination race, but the track was shut down to be reconfigured into a road course at the end of the 2006 season. Formula Nippon went defunct as a direct result of sponsors leaving for the USAC Gold Crown Series and NASCAR RCA Cup Series, and the sanctioning body went bankrupt partway through the 2007 season. All teams and drivers were invited to compete in the USAC Gold Crown Series, which the ex-Formula Nippon drivers and team owners saw as an upgrade because of the allure of the Indianapolis 500. All incoming Formula Nippon teams were assigned numbers in the 300 series.
Wendy Burleson won the National Championship, becoming the first woman and first African-American to do so. The first half of the season saw Burleson in an intense fight with Scott Dixon for the points lead, before Dixon's season collapsed spectacularly. After that, Burleson's main competition was Michael Schumacher, who finished third in the championship. Yuji Ide, one of the Formula Nippon "refugees", won Rookie of the Year honors, while Fernando Alonso won the Indianapolis 500, becoming the second Formula One driver to do so since the race became a USAC/F1 combination race in 1996.
The Constructors' Cup, unlike 2007, was once again an intense fight. Perennial favorite Mopar ran headlong into aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which had entered the sport in 2006. Ultimately, Boeing won its first Constructors' Cup thanks to Wendy Burleson's amazing championship run. Dodge, meanwhile, won the Manufacturers' Cup, due to the Penske chassis using Dodge engines.
