Inside Line Promotions – ELDON, Mo. (April 6, 2021) – Alex Hill fought a tricky track surface throughout a doubleheader at Lake Ozark Speedway with the ASCS Sooner Region and ASCS Warrior Region last weekend.
“Our weekend was okay,” she said. “The track was kind of tough to race on. It was slick and difficult to pass for me, but we all raced on the same track.”
Hill’s weekend began with a solid run in her heat race on Friday night.
“We were fast in the heat race,” she said. “We started fourth and ran second most of the race until Seth Bergman got by me and we finished third.”
Her heat race finish placed the Hill’s Racing Team driver 12th on the A Main starting grid.
“I ran the bottom for a while during the feature until that went away and then moved to the top of the track,” she said. “I may have dropped back a couple of spots when I spun out and got hit by another car. That damaged the front end and ended our night.”
An undesirable start to her heat race on Saturday night placed Hill in a position she wasn’t able to overcome the rest of the evening.
“I just had a poor start in my heat race and lost some positions right away,” said Hill, who started third and finished sixth, placing her in the eighth starting spot in the B Main.
“We had a pretty good car in the B Main. I ran some good laps around the top, so it was nice to feel comfortable running there. The field got kind of strung out right away and there wasn’t much passing. I thought I was running in sixth in the final transfer spot, but it turned out I was seventh and missed the A Main by one spot so that was frustrating.”
Next up for Hill will be her first visit to Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La., on Saturday with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
“Boothill will be another new track for me,” she said. “Hopefully the weather cooperates and we’ll be able to race.”
