Katie Hagar is first Woman to Set Track Record at Stockton
Katie Hagar now owns the track record in qualifying at Stockton 99 Speedway.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 1, 2009 --
June 13, Stockton, CA, by: Frank Jordan; Team Owner of Golden State Racing
Katie Hagar had a typical night of short track racing with all the bumping & banging you can expect. She is the first woman ever to hold a track record at the famed speedway. She broke the record with a blistering 13.57 hanging two tenths on the rest of the field. She started 9th with the invert and quickly moved to 6th but got turned around by the 5th place car. Re-starting from the back, Katie began passing cars on the outside (very difficult at Stockton) and inside as well quickly getting back in contention. Halfway through the main event the same car that caused the earlier issue got into the 6th place car turning him around and up into Katie’s path. The contact wasn’t bad until the 8th place car slid under our bumper. Too much cosmetic damage to get her back out in time… we had to call it a night. Katie was extremely disappointed as she clearly had the fastest race car on the track. As they say “that’s racing”.
It has been amazing to watch Katie's fan base explode here at Stockton. Their announcer makes a big deal to the crowd about Katie and our team’s participation with the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program. Katie is definitely a crowd favorite!
