seconds at Stockton 99

Roseville, Calif. – Frank Jordan’s Golden State Racing with driver Katie Hagar competed in Saturday’s twin 50s at the new Stockton 99 Speedway in Stockton, Calif., with Hagar earning a pair of podium finishes at the quarter-mile asphalt oval.

Hagar, who competes in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Western Late Models under the Drive for Diversity banner, qualified third with a lap of 13.77 around the ultra fast track.

Hagar quickly jumped forward on the grid in the first 50 lap feature to challenge the leader, but had her charge nixed by a miss in the engine. She still managed the bring her Chevrolet home with a second place finish.

After solving the engine woes, the Golden State Racing team sent Hagar back out for the second 50 lapper. By lap 23, Hagar had charged from fourth on the grid to contend for the race lead.

Contact between Hagar and the leader sent both cars spinning and to the rear of the field. Restarting from the back, she navigated traffic quickly in just her third start at the track and was able to race back to a second place finish.

Her pair of podium finishes proved popular with many of the female fans in attendance, and she was surrounded by fans in the pit area following the race.

The pair of second place finishes were her best two finishes of the still young racing season. Hagar is competing up and down the central valley for the potent Golden State Racing team this season.

She will return to action next Saturday, June 13, again at the new Stockton 99 Speedway.

Hello to all,

Well we had a typical night of short track racing with all the bumping & banging you can expect. The bright side is that Katie Hagar now owns the track record in qualifying at Stockton 99 Speedway. She is the first woman ever to hold a track record at the famed speedway .She broke the  record with a blistering 13.57 hanging two tenths on the rest of the field. She started 9th with the invert and quickly moved to 6th but got turned around by the 5th place car. Re-starting from the back, Katie began passing cars on the outside (very difficult at Stockton) and inside as well quickly getting back in contention. Halfway through the main event the same car that caused the earlier issue got into the 6th place car turning him around and up into Katie’s path. The contact wasn’t bad until the 8th place car slid under our bumper. Too much cosmetic damage to get her back out in time… we had to call it a night. Katie was extremely disappointed as she clearly had the fastest race car on the track. As they say “that’s racing”. We are off next weekend and will be back at Stockton on June 27th. It has been amazing to watch her fan base explode here at Stockton. Their announcer makes a big deal to the crowd about Katie and our team’s participation with the Drive for Diversity program. Katie is definitely a crowd favorite!
