Austin Hubbard Snares First Win of 2013 with Georgetown Triumph
Seaford, Delaware (04/22/13) - Austin Hubbard notched his first win in over a year on Friday evening with a $2,000 victory at Georgetown Speedway (Georgetown, Delaware) in his #11 Hubbard Motorsports/Trinity Logistics/Mastersbilt by Huey/Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model.
It was a busy weekend for Austin and Hubbard Motorsports as they initially planned to enter a tripleheader with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMS). However, as has been the theme thus far into the 2013 season his plans were modified by Mother Nature as Friday night's event at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex was postponed by rain.
As a result Austin entered a $2,000-to-win event at Georgetown Speedway (Georgetown, Delaware) on Friday evening, and it proved to be a great outing for the team. The program served as the season opener for the facility, and Austin started his night by blasting to the heat race win to earn a front row starting spot for the main event. In the feature Hubbard drove away from the field to claim the win, which marked not only his first win of 2013, but his first win in over a year!
"It was a big shot in the arm to get back to victory lane," a relieved Hubbard noted. "It's been a long time since we got a win, and now that we've done it again hopefully it will lead to several more this year."
Saturday night found Hubbard back on the LOLMDS campaign as he traveled to the historic Hagerstown Speedway (Hagerstown, Maryland) for a $10,000-to-win event. Struggles in preliminary action forced Austin to take a provisional to start the main event, where he started 24th. His luck in the feature wouldn't be much better as he retired early from the event to a 22nd place finish.
The weekend concluded on Sunday night at the recently reconfigured, 4/10 mile oval at West Virginia Motor Speedway (Mineral Wells, West Virginia). With thirty-two Super Late Models in the pits, and Hubbard again quickly found himself in the hole early in the night as he battled the setup in time trials. He failed to advance through the field in his heat race, which pinned him starting deep in a b-main. In the b-main he advanced to a fourth place finish, but with only the top three cars moving on to the feature he was forced to again utilize a provisional to start the feature in the 25th position. During the course of the 50 lap, $10,000-to-win event Hubbard advanced thirteen spots to a twelfth place finish. He received Hard Charger of the race honors for his efforts.
Austin is currently thirteenth in the LOLMDS standings. Full results from the event and the latest series' standings are available at www.LucasDirt.com .
For the upcoming weekend, April 26th-27th, the team is tentatively planning to enter a pair of Three State Flyers events. On Friday night a $3,000-to-win program will be contested at Winchester Speedway (Winchester, Virginia) before moving to Potomac Speedway (Budd's Creek, Maryland for a $3,222-to-win race.
