2008 Piston Cup Season

The 2008 Piston Cup Season had Greg Candyman, Manny Flywheel, Ruby Oaks, and Chuck Armstrong, and James Cleanair retire and had Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Davey Apex get fired. They were replaced by Henry Lowtire, Parker Brakestone, Carl Clutchen, Dud Throttleman, and T.G Castlenut. DEI shut down after Dale left. Jimmy Cables debuted for new team Intersection. This was the last season for Billy Oilchanger, Claude Scruggs, Misti Motorkrass, Eugene Carburski, Aiken Axler, and Sage VanDerSpin. Cal Weathers won his first Piston Cup this season after Lightning McQueen had a bad crash in the Los Angeles 500 which put him out the rest of the season. Rookie sensation Carl Clutchen finished top 5 in the standings with 2 wins and many top 5s and 10s. Murray Clutchburn had his final great season with 4 wins and finished second in the standings.
