Jay Fogleman, a regular since the start of the ProCup series in 1997,
makes his final start on the tour.

This was the series' first visit to the Rockingham Speedway, the track
had just reopened earlier that year.

Polesitter Woody Howard crashed out of this race instead of having a
mechanical failure. Howard and Carl Long got together in Turn 1 and both
got into the outside wall before spinning into the inside wall. This was
Howard's fifth and to date last USAR pole position.

Long is also notable as this was his first race back at Rockingham after
his wild rollover there in the final NASCAR Cup race there in 2004. It
was also his last start to date in the ProCup series.

This was the ProCup series' last race under Hooters long-time series
title sponsorship. The restaurant chain best known for its female
waitresses and chicken wings had been the series title sponsor since the
its 1997 inception and remains the only one to date as no new one has
stepped up to date.

This was also the USAR's final race under their old signature
North/South then championship format. The end-of-season championship
series was kept but the schedule was unified into just one series
leading into it for 2009.

The late Matt Hawkins, a USAR race winner, makes his final start in the
series. He died in a firearm accident at his home a few months later.

For some reason, the USAR Hooters Pro Cup incorrectly listed drivers who
carried numbers that began with a #0

Bobby Gill drove the #06
Tim Bainey Jr. drove the #00
Larry Barrett drove the #04
Matt Lofton drove the #07
Joey Coulter drove the #02
