NHM looks to build 2010 season off of Volusia Speedweeks experience!
The 2010 Volusia County Speedway Speedweeks has yet to conclude, but it has for first time contender Nick Hoffman and his #2 machine. NHM decided last November that in order to prepare for a breakout season in the AMRA Modified series and to compete at more nationally recognized events, they would have to start their 2010 year in Florida. "I really just needed to get the experience competing with the best cars in the country at one place" Said Nick Hoffman. The initial plan was to run three nights at Volusia, However, Mother Nature diluted that to only two events. This was the first visit for Hoffman in Speedweeks, and the first time out in his "NEW" Taylor Chassis ride. "We had a test scheduled before coming down, but there was a snow storm and we had to cancel and come straight here...the biggest thing I really wanted to do was to get used to driving a totally different car" Nick stated. It didn't take long for NHM to realize that they could have used that test to work out bugs. On the first day Feb. 4th, the #2 machine rolled out for their hot lap/qualifying session. It was then when Hoffman couldn't get the transmission to shift into high gear and they had no choice but to scratch qualifying, which put them in the rear of the qualifying heat race. It was there, from a 12th place starting position, that Hoffman would come in finishing 6th, and he carried that momentum into a strong showing in the consi race starting 5th, driving up to 3rd before finishing 8th. "Night one was a bit crazy, and I was just happy to finally get some laps on the car" Hoffman stated. Night two on their schedule was washed out from rain all day. The optimistic attitude of the entire NHM team showed clearly on Day 3 with the excitement showing on their faces. However, again the brutal realization to new equipment showed again, with an electrical misfire causing loss of power. This put Hoffman at the rear of another qualifying heat race, where he again drove it up to a solid 6th place finish. Indication of the competition in 2010 Volusia County Speedweeks could not be any clearer in Hoffman’s Consi race. On the pole started Jared Landers (2009 Volusia Speedweeks Champion), Nick started on the outside front row due to his effort in the heat. Starting 3rd was Devin Gilpin, who finished 2nd in UMP National points in 2009, and 5th place starter was 2-Time UMP National Champion Denny Schwartz. "The consi was stacked, and I was just so excited to be able to race against all those guys". After having a strong battle for the lead with Jared Landers, Hoffman fell to 3rd with a few laps to go, and this put him just outside of the final transfer position. It was clear that every time the NHM ride hit the track, there was a major improvement, and the entire team is excited about their expectations for the 2010 season. Next on the schedule has a couple big races that NHM has their eye on including the 10th Annual Skyler Trull Memorial race at Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, NC. where they will be competing for $1,000 to win on March 12-13th. Then it’s off to the homeland in Pevely, MO at I-55 Speedway for the UMP Dirtcar Roundup event on March 18-20th. For more info visit www.carolinaspeedway.net or www.umpdirtcarroundup.com !
