Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ark. (Nov. 14, 2017) – Derek Hagar is scheduled to wrap up his sprint car season this Saturday at Talladega Short Track with the USCS Series.

Hagar enters the event needing a victory to extend his winning streak at the oval in Eastaboga, Ala., to three straight seasons.

“We have a good track record at Talladega so hopefully we can end our season in Victory Lane,” he said.

Hagar placed fourth at the track earlier this season during a USCS Series Speedweek event.

“I remember we didn’t have the car tight enough and that hurt us,” he said. “We anticipated some rubber and it didn’t lay down. We backed up to fifth or sixth and worked back up to fourth. Our car got better as the race went on, but it was too little too late.”

Hagar has earned six wins with the USCS Series this season, which is tied for the second most.

Additionally, he has closed his season with a victory during two of the last three years.

“It’s a huge boost going into the offseason to have won your final race,” he said. “You have a good taste in your mouth all offseason long while preparing for the next year. It’s everyone’s goal to win the season finale, but only one person achieves that goal and gets to have that smile on his or her face throughout the offseason.”
