Bryan Hulbert – AMARILLO, Texas (June 12, 2018) The best part about earning a fourth-place finish at Route 66 Motor Speedway for Blake Hahn? Retribution from one year ago when his final trip around the Texas oval ended with a torn-up race car.

“I don’t know if I’ve been happier with a fourth-place finish. After the way that race ended last year, I just wanted to finish. It would have been nice to win but getting the finish we did with everything that was going on, we’ll take it,” stated Hahn, who also came out through the weekend two positions better in tour standings to third.

Prior to the fourth-place finish in Amarillo, the Griffith Truck and Equipment No. 52 kicked off the ASCS Sizzlin’ Summer Speedweek at West Texas Raceway in Lubbock, Texas with an 11th place finish.

“We were okay at Lubbock, just couldn’t seem to get the car to grab the track early. The surface threw us for a loop in the heat, but we were better in the Feature. They came out and worked the top of the track during intermission and that helped us a lot. We were able to get up there and keep our momentum up and move forward.”

Waiting out a nearly three-hour rain delay in Amarillo the following day, Hahn was one of several drivers who spent time with the fans, signing autographs and tossing out a few shirts.

“I couldn’t believe the crowd. Even when it was raining, they were still coming in and finding a seat. Going into the stands while we waited, the fans were so excited we were there. Between the fans and the track crew, I just can’t thank the whole community enough for their support. I can’t wait to go back.”

Finishing out the 2018 ASCS Sizzlin’ Summer Speedweek, Hahn is back behind the wheel at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Tuesday, June 12, followed by Lawton Speedway (Lawton, Okla.) on Wednesday, June 13, Creek County Speedway (Sapulpa, Okla.) on Thursday, June 14, and Salina Speedway (Salina, Kan.), on Saturday, June 16.
