Inside Line Promotions – LOXLEY, Ala. (March 8, 2016) – Derek Hagar posted a pair of podium finishes last weekend with the ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints.

“It was a good weekend all in all,” he said. “We had two podiums and moved forward in every race so you can’t be upset with that.”

The action began last Friday at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, Miss., where Hagar maneuvered from fourth to second place in a heat race to make the feature redraw.

“I put myself behind the eight ball on Friday,” he said. “I was third in points (following the heat races) and pulled the eight.”

Hagar got the highest number during the random redraw to start the main event on the outside of the fourth row.

“I got up close to the leaders, but in 25 laps you only have so much time,” he said. “The laps clicked off pretty quick. It was a good, solid night though.”

Hagar ended with a third-place finish.

The weekend wrapped up on Saturday at Deep South Speedway, where Hagar powered from seventh to second place in a heat race. That ranked him second in points following the heat races and earned a spot in the feature redraw, where he pulled the No. 3 to start the main event on the inside of the second row.

“I got to second on the first lap and just maintained from there,” he said. “Once you got going it was follow the leader. On a couple of restarts I dove underneath the leader, but it’s a momentum track and he had the momentum to power by me.”

Hagar’s second-place result marked his third consecutive podium finish.
