Jared Hawkins Notches First Win of 2014 Campaign

by Ben Shelton
FAIRMOUNT, West Virginia (August 5) – Jared Hawkins powered his #37 Rick Sturms Motorsports/Rocket Super Late Model to his first victory of the 2014 season in a Weekly Racing Series program at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex (Markleysburg, Pennsylvania) on Saturday night.

Jared started his night with a sixth to second run in heat race action, earning him the fourth starting spot on the feature grid. In the main event Hawkins took control on lap five and led the rest of the way to score the victory over Billy Holbert, Cody Hardesty, Scott Rhodes, and L.C. Powers.

Action shifted to Tyler County Speedway (Middlebourne, West Virginia) on Saturday night for annual Bud Weigle Memorial, which posted a $1,500 winner's check for Super Late Model competitors. Jared timed in second fastest overall during time trials, sending him to the dash where he advanced to a fourth place finish after starting fifth. In the feature Hawkins was battling for second when contact from another competitor sent him spinning. As a result he chose to retire from the balance of the program to a fourteenth place finish.

"Not a bad weekend at all for us," noted Hawkins. "We had a good car both nights, and while things didn't end the way we wanted at Tyler County, at least we knew we were contenders again." He concluded by saying, "Hopefully all of the bad luck that we had to start the year is finally behind us."
