    8/11...Hoffman Finishes Fourth At Fairgrounds.    by Devon Holder (ASALateModelsNorth.com)

Eddie Hoffman looked to give his daughter, Halley, a special gift for her tenth birthday at the Fairgrounds Speedway on August 2nd. Hoffman hoped that a victory in The Nashville 200 would be a great gift for his daughter, however it was not meant to be for the 2008 ASA Late Model Series North Champion.   Eddie entered the race at the Fairgrounds as an odds on favorite. Hoffman had collected three victories at Fairgrounds Speedway in the ASA Late Model Series, and hoped to earn his fourth this past weekend. However, Hoffman was dethroned by Nashville native, Willie Allen, for the victory.   Hoffman was never lower than ninth on the speed charts during four practice sessions in his Lisa Thomas Salon machine. This was a true testament as to how strong Hoffman was as he never put on new tires in the practice sessions. Hoffman’s first lap on the racetrack with new Hoosier rubber was his qualifying lap, which he ran in 19.197 seconds. This was fast enough for the eighth spot on the grid.   As the green flag fell, Hoffman began picking off competitors in his Lisa Thomas Salon machine, carefully working his way through the field. By the time the race reached its halfway point on lap 100, Hoffman had worked his way up to the fourth position.                                                                                                                                                                     ...more

excerpt...8. Eddie Hoffman (ASA LM, CRA and just about anything with fenders) - The ASA Late Models are acknowledged as
being a great place to develop young talent in racing and looking at some of the series graduates, it's hard to argue that point.
But then again, the baddest and most feared racer of them all isn't some young pup. Nope, that pit bull goes by the name of
Eddie Hoffman and he's another driver who is a threat to win wherever he goes.
“The old man will beat up the young kids again in the ASALMS North,” predicts one of our panelists.
But you can't just fear Hoffman in ASA Late Models. He'll run on other tours too, including the CRA Super Series, and he's tough to beat at all time. That's powerful stuff.
