First Legends Career Top 5!

The Hooligan Motorsports team crossed our fingers as we traveled to Northern Maine on Saturday. After a rain soaked week, the weather forecast was not looking good and we were doubtful that we would get the Speedway 95 race in... but, the NELCAR tour beat Mother Nature and we did indeed race!

VIP Thursday Thunder Series

The VIP Thursday Thunder series is well underway at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway!  Every Thursday night, you'll get 2 full hours of racing action for just $4! 

We kicked it off on June 13th by starting on the pole and finishing with a Top Ten!  The rain began to fall and things got a little hairy on track before they finally called the race complete, a few laps short.  Matt finished 8th.

A week later, Matt finished 11th on June 20th in a green to checkers, caution free race.

Go Go Black & Good! #8 #uslegends #racecar #moatmountain #CaseyJonesBones #friendsofrescue #LapdogCreations #HobbyEmporium

June 27th was another Top Ten, with the #8 coming home in 9th...

Ready to #race at @beechridge tonight! #8 #uslegends #nelcar #raceday

We're looking forward to getting back to the Ridge on Thursday for a special 4th of July early show.  Racing starts an hour early this week, at 6:00 pm!

Star Speedway ~ 6/8/13

The NELCAR Legends tour hit Star Speeding in Epping, New Hampshire on Saturday, June 8 for a great night of racing action!  The #8 was racing in 4th spot when Matt spun and was forced to restart at the tail end of the field.  He fought his way back up to 13th, when the race was called for time and cut short by a few laps.  You can check out the full story over on Nelcar.net

In addition to some great racing action by the 19 car field, the Legends drivers also did an on track meet and greet for the fans!  Matt signed many autographs and welcomed several young fans to take a seat inside the #8.  A great time was had by all and we can't wait to get back to Star on August 17th!

NHMS ~ 4/27/13

The Hooligan Motorsports #8 was ready to make some right-hand turns as we hit the New Hampshire Motor Speedway road course on Saturday, April 27 for the Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Company Legends Series.  Although NHMS is not part of the NELCAR Tour this year, we are planning to visit the speedway as often as our schedule allows.

We hit the pits early in the morning, ready to race and armed with a boatload of Casey Jones Bones samples to hand out!

Who's visiting the #8 pit at @nhms tomorrow to get their @caseyjonesbones #dogtreats ? #uslegends #racing

Everyone changed gears and got back into the swing of road racing, after a long 6 months off.  Although a bit chilly, the spring day proved to be a great one for racing.

Look for the Hooligan #8 to be back in action at NHMS during the Father's Day weekend Loudon Classic -- and quite possibly on May 18 as well!

Beech Ridge PASS Weekend ~ 5/4/13

The NELCAR tour hit Beech Ridge Motor Speedway for the first time in 2013 as part of the Pro All Stars Series North on Saturday, May 4.  The sun was shining and it was a great day for racing!

The #8 was loose all day, which was not helped by a hectic hurry-up pace between the heat and feature races.  We finished p17, which was certainly not the result we had hoped for.  We'll get 'em next time...
