Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ark. (Feb. 27, 2018) – Derek Hagar will make his season debut in his No. 9jr this Saturday during a USCS Series event in Mississippi.

Hagar, who has four races under his belt this year driving for Witherspoon Racing, is slated to compete on Saturday at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus.

“I’m excited to get the No. 9jr out for the first time this season,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of success throughout the years at Magnolia Motor Speedway and our goal is to continue that this weekend.”

Hagar has earned at least one top-five finish at the track during each of the last six seasons, including a win last year, in 2014 and in 2013. The victories in 2014 and 2013 were the season-opening races for Hagar.

“We’ve been fortunate to start several seasons by winning the first race,” he said. “That is huge for your confidence and it kicks off the season with momentum. It’s so hard to win races and when you win the first one it’s a big deal.”

While the goal for Saturday is to find Victory Lane, Hagar has a five-year podium streak at the track to keep going.

“Whenever you’re getting podiums and top fives the wins will come,” he said. “That’s proven true for us at Magnolia Motor Speedway. We’re usually a contender and I expect that to be the same this Saturday.”
