Spokane's Braeden Havens heads to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series in 2012 as he teams with veteran driver Brett Thompson and the Thompson Motorsports team.

Blake Williams became the youngest race winner in the history of the Inland Northwest Super Stock Association as he bested Kameron McKeehan and Cameron Kellogg at Stateline Speedway. McKeehan’s runner-up finish earned him the 2010 INSSA championship over Amanda MacDonald and Braeden Havens.

David Garber, the current Inland Northwest Super Stock Association points leader, heads to Kalispell, Mont. in search of his first Lucas Oil Super Late Model Championship. His departure on Saturday means a new INSSA champion will be crowned after Garber’s three-year reign.

David Garber, the man to beat for many years on the circuit, is holding three consecutive championship trophies heading into the weekend. For the first time in many seasons, the Spokane native has not one, but several challengers ready to pounce should he have issues in the final two runs of the year.

Airway Heights resident Todd Havens, who grew up in Minnesota and raced street stocks in that area before “retiring” to start a railroad servicing business, and his 16-year-old son, Braeden, will compete this weekend in Sunset Speedway’s Adult Clone Engine class before wrapping up preparations for their INSSA debut set for May 22.

Inland Empre-based super late model series gets started in just over five months with races in three states over the course of an eight race season.

Kevin Richards posted the fastest qualifying lap of 13.393 to start the day off with INSSA point’s leader, Dave Garber and Corey Allard, second and third, respectively.

Jeff Fenton will have his work cut out for him on Friday night as the Inland Northwest Super Stock Association points leader will be out to stay ahead of second-place running David Garber and will have to contend with several new drivers trying to grab a top-6 finishing position and a spot in Sunday’s Idaho 200 at Stateline Speedway.

While Jeff Fenton has been Mr. Consistent, many of his top ten competitors have either posted DNF’s or weren’t able to make the show.  Two-time champion, Dave Garber, in his Concrete Cutters Pontiac, has been slowly reeling Fenton in while making his bid for a third title. 

With his win Saturday night at Stateline Speedway, David Garber has moved into the top-5 in his chase for a fifth points championship on the Inland Northwest Super Stock Association.
