Hagar Scores Season-Ending Triumph at Riverside International Speedway
Inside Line Promotions – WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (Nov. 21, 2024) – Derek Hagar wrapped up the 2024 racing season with a victory last Saturday, marking the second straight season he’s ended with a trip into Victory Lane.
“It’s huge to win the final race of the season,” he said. “That really helps carry you into the offseason on the right note.”
Hagar, who made his driving debut for A.G. Rains, swept the night at Riverside International Speedway. He won a heat race from the pole position and the feature from the outside of the front row.
“The track certainly had some character,” he said. “That was probably the roughest track I’ve ever driven on. We got a good draw for the heat race and there were no passing points so the heat finish lined us up for the feature. We got out front in it and I just tried to race smart. I was patient behind a lot of lapped cars and didn’t push the issue.”
The winning performance marked Hagar’s third straight season of reaching 13 feature triumphs and the fifth time in his career.
It was also Hagar’s eighth win of the season at Riverside International Speedway.
