(July 12, 2024) Jason Hathaway, driver of the #3 ASSA Abloy/Leland Chevrolet, competed in the highly anticipated NASCAR Canada Series race at Ohsweken Speedway on Thursday night, marking round six of the 13-race schedule. This event was particularly notable as is the only dirt track race of the season and was Hathaway’s first-ever experience on a dirt oval.
Determined to make the most of his inaugural dirt track outing, Hathaway maximized his track time during the 30-minute practice session, continuously adapting and learning the nuances of dirt racing. His efforts in his heat race to set the grid for the feature race further showcased his determination and adaptability as he worked hard to gain valuable experience.
Starting from the 12th position in the 100-lap Freshstone Dirt Classic, Hathaway battled fiercely throughout the race. Despite the challenging conditions and the intense competition, he managed to secure a 14th place finish in the #3 ASSA Abloy/Leland Chevrolet. Although the result was not as high as he had hoped, Hathaway’s resilience and dedication were evident throughout the race.
Through six races of the 2024 season, Hathaway remains firmly in fifth place in the overall championship standings.
Quote: “We knew coming into this race that it would be a learning experience. I’m proud of the E.H.R. team and how hard they worked to make the car comfortable for me. I learned a lot in my first dirt track race, the track is always changing and with the competition so intense, this was a bit of a tough night for us. But we toughed it and now we’re headed out west to a couple of fun tracks and I’m excited to show what we can do”. -Jason Hathaway, driver #3 ASSA Abloy Chevrolet
