The 2012 season saw — what happens every 2-4 years — a crop of highly-eager rookies join the weekly fray, while a few vets had to call full-time racing quits. 39 total drivers competed in 27 Features from our 17th Annual Season Opener June 10th to our (likely most controversial) Summer Klassic Championship on October 10th, and even a few post-points Fall specials that concluded on November 12th. Every page has complete race videos, most from multiple camera angles! Enjoy!
