Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ark. (June 29, 2021) – Derek Hagar is heading into a four-race weekend seeking a visit to Victory Lane.

“It’s been another slow start to the year for us,” he said. “We haven’t done a lot of racing. We’re trying to build our 410 operation up and that’s taken time. I’m looking forward to running back to back for four straight nights and hopefully picking up some wins.”

It begins on Thursday at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark. A trio of USCS Series races – Friday at Old No. 1 Speedway in Harrisburg, Ark.; Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.; and Sunday at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Miss. – wrap up the weekend.

Hagar has a five-year winning streak at I-30 Speedway. He’s already picked up a victory at Riverside International Speedway this year. Additionally, Hagar won his most recent start at Magnolia Motor Speedway in July 2019.

“We’ve had good success at all three of those tracks,” he said. “It’s expected for us to do well so hopefully we can contend each night.”

Old No. 1 Speedway is the lone track on this weekend’s slate where Hagar hasn’t driven into the Winner’s Circle. He charged from 19th to fourth during his last race there in May 2019 and he posted a career-best runner-up result there in June 2015.

“I think I’ve only raced there twice,” he said. “They run late models, stock cars and modifieds on a weekly basis and a couple of sprint car shows each year. We don’t really get to race there very much so it’s kind of new to everybody. You have to get yourself good track position to be in contention to get the win. We’re always hungry to be able to get our first win at a track so hopefully we can accomplish that this weekend.”
