The 2008 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series was the second season of the stock-car racing NASCAR Canada Series. Scott Steckly became the series' second ever champion, winning three of the first four events of the season, and fighting off a late season charge from Don Thomson Jr. to win the championship by 24 points. British Columbia native Jason White was awarded rookie of the year, beating Anthony Simone. It also marked the final season of former CASCAR champion Peter Gibbons, who retired after a lengthy career.
