Bryan Hulbert – Peoria, Arizona (November 12, 2012) No race would be complete without a party and the 45th FVP Western World Championships presented by Sands Chevrolet is most certainly a party as the culmination of three championships converge on one of the most prestigious Sprint Car events in the western United States.
