Eric Holmes, the 2008 West Series champion.
Jason Bowles finished second behind Holmes in the championship by 48 points.

The 2008 NASCAR Camping World West Series was the 55th season of the Camping World West Series, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR. It began with the Toyota/NAPA Auto Care 150 at All-American Speedway on March 29, 2008, and concluded with the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 by Thunder Valley, again at All-American Speedway, on October 25, 2008. Eric Holmes won the championship, 48 points in front of Jason Bowles.[1] This was Holmes' second championship after his first came in 2006. He would go on to win a third championship in 2010, ironically meaning that he won a title every other year in this span of five years.

The 2008 season also was the first with Camping World as the title sponsor of the series, the first for the series since AutoZone sponsored the tour in 2006.
