First Race is April 6th, 2008 Anderson Speedway, Anderson, Indiana.

Chris Melby, car owner and crew chief said it in a few words - "Its a brutal start to our season." Although at times Dallas was able to turn laps in practice prior to the start of the April 6th USAC National Midget Race at Anderson Speedway, Anderson, Indiana posting laps times in the top ten,  those laps would be the high light of the day. Fuel pick up problems, and a major problem with keeping the rear stagger saw Dallas qualify 35th, missing the top 31 who transferred into heat races. Dallas was now required to run the non-qualifiers race in which the top two would than transfer into an assigned heat race. Starting in the back, on lap three Dallas tangled with a competitor, jumping a rear wheel and sliding up and into the retaining wall. Serious damage to the front axel ended any chances for further competition. Dallas said of their day, "Naturally we are very disappointed to start our season this way. Fortunately, we have several weeks before our next scheduled race and we will be able to rebuild the damage and test before going back into competition."
