Darrin Hoyle picked up the hardware for his second Sheppard Race Cars Limited Street championship. Hoyle clinched the ’07 title in Jackson, SC, at the second-to-last ORSCA race of the year.	In an emotional acceptance speech, TCI EZ Street champion David Reese recalled a season interrupted by a serious non-ORSCA racing accident that injured his back and destroyed his car. He returned mere weeks later, though, with a nearly identical ride, never missing a race and continued to dominate. Reese also revealed from the podium that he is leaving ORSCA this year to pursue an ADRL championship in 2008.	Newly crowned Industrial Depot 6.0 champion LeBron “The Man” Hill wrapped up his ’07 season with the class win at Huntsville. Hill admitted to benefiting from “a little luck” at times last year, but promises to do everything he can in ‘08 to defend his title.

Twenty-year-old Ryan Rakestraw won ORSCA’s inaugural Race Coach Sales Modified Street championship in his first year of racing—ever. That feat, including three race wins after going to four of eight finals last year, also earned Rakestraw the ORSCA Rookie of the Year award.

Jeremy Ellis is the happy 2007 Southern Truck Parts 5.30 index champion. Ellis said he’s is stepping up to ORSCA’s new 5.0 class this season.	With his wife looking on in the same room in which they were married, Atlanta Speed Shop 7.0 winner Al Hause savored the moment after narrowly edging two-time defending class champ Ricky Pennington for the ‘07 honors.
