Night No. 1 of the Hustle saw Christopher Thram start from pole, but Buddy Kofoid used the cushion to charge to the lead on lap 15. From there, he was able to hold on to win and claim the $20,000 first prize. Kofoid won by 1.955 seconds over Sheldon Haudenschild. Garet Williamson was this, then Austin McCarl and Cole Macedo. |
Frontstretch Line of the Week "Looking back, I was excited, but we were so far in over our head. We bought an old car, and we were here and they weren’t going to have enough cars to make that race. We
had been racing some ARCA, been doing well on that, and just wanted to try, to see how we were to see how good we could do. And yeah, we just weren’t prepared. It was cool to do it, but I wish we could have been better prepared." - Jeremy Clements, on his debut in the then-NASCAR Busch Series at Pikes Peak International Raceway in 2003. |
