Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ark. (March 28, 2017) – Derek Hagar is on cloud nine after two life-changing events this week.
Hagar got engaged to long-time girlfriend, Heather Mccomber, before the duo announced Monday that they are expecting a child in late November.
“It’s been a big week for me,” Hagar said. “Now I just have to go out there and win more races and win more money.”
The next opportunity to do that is this Saturday at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., where the ASCS Mid-South Region and ASCS Red River Region are co-sanctioning an event at the bullring.
“They’ve made a lot of changes to the race track so I can’t wait to get there,” he said. “They put more banking into it and changed the dirt up a bit so you can mat it to the floor. We know we can get around that place. If they do what I’ve heard that fits into my driving style.”
Hagar has an outstanding track record at the quarter-mile oval. He has won main events in four of the last six seasons. During that time Hagar has eight podiums, 13 top fives and 27 top 10s in 35 races since 2011.
“I-30 Speedway is close to home so we have a lot of laps there and that always helps,” he said. “I enjoy racing it and am looking forward to our first race there this season.”
Last weekend’s Park City Cup/Air Capital Shootout with the NCRA Series at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., was postponed until next month because of rain.
