Winners and loser at Irwindale Speedway

Brian Ickler was in the middle of quite a streak when the NASCAR Grand National Division West Series came to Irwindale Speedway in July.
Over the span of four races during the summer, Ickler won three and finished second in the other. One of those wins was the Irwindale Speedway race on July 4.
He admitted his team got off to a slow start and there was a time when he wondered if he would ever finish a race, let alone win one.
“We got this car to finish,” said Ickler, a driver from San Diego. “It was embarrassing. Not wrecking this car made it so successful.”
Ickler was one of the few drivers in the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown who can say he’s won a race at Irwindale Speedway.
Sean Caisse, a driver from the Busch East Series, brought a three-time winner to the Showdown. Caisse won races at Elko Speedway., Thompson International Speedway and Mansfield Motorsports Speedway.
“It’s actually my favorite car,” said Caisse, a driver from Pelham, N.H. “It’s just my favorite piece. It ran so good this year.”
His favorite car might have seen its last race for a while. He was hit from behind while leading the race and crashed into the infield wall in turn 1.
