Hillier Passes Seven Cars in World Finals Prelim
CONCORD, NC (November
2) – Wanting to end his rookie season with the World of Outlaws on a high
note, Chad Hillier drove the #5c DIRT Inc. Maxim like a virtuoso in
Friday's Outlaws World Finals Preliminary Feature.
The 28-year-old driver
from Burlington , WA ,
raced into 13th place from outside the 10th row. Only World of Outlaws
veterans Jac Haudenschild
and provisional starters Danny Lasoski and Jason Solwold passed more cars in the 30-lap feature race.
“We had a good night,” Chad said.
“Haud and Lasoski were
the only ones who got by us, and they only did that when the car got a
little upset on the cushion. We almost got Lasoski
back toward the end, but he used his veteran skills to take my line away.”
Hillier, the 19th-fastest
driver in Thursday's first time trial session, qualified for the
preliminary feature by finishing fifth in the Fourth Heat Race.
“We had a good heat
race – we got out of it in one shot – and everything went well in the
feature,” Chad
said. “We were really good on the cushion, but not the best off the
cushion. We were fortunate enough to race around on the cushion for most of
the race and we kept our nose clean. It was a good night of racing for us.”
Hillier, encouraged by
Friday's performance, is looking forward to Saturday's Outlaws World Finals
finale.
“We know what to expect
and we feel like we're pretty close with the car,” Chad said.
“We have a good starting position in the heat race again, and we have a
good feeling after tonight. Pete (Stephens) and Travis (Van Dam) worked
hard to give me a good car, the track is nice and the weather's beautiful,
so we're looking forward to another good night of racing.”
