Coming off his prestigious and exciting win at Daytona on Feb 19th Hayley was strong in Phoenix in both practices and qualified in a fast second behind teammate Greg Pursley who set a new track record.
During the race Hayley took a late race lead from Pursley and appeared to have it locked in as the laps closed towards the checkered flag. However a wreck brought out the flags. On the restart an exciting chase by Pursley saw Hayley fall back to second place from the outside line.
Hayley said after the race “We are happy and excited to take second, we were fast right out of the trailer again and we almost had the win. I have a feeling this year is going to give the fans a lot of excitement!”
Hayley who just got his Driver’s License four months ago is already in his second full time season in the NASCAR Series. He is turning heads with his strong performance and smooth driving skills!
Just last year; Hayley in his Rookie Year was nominated by “NASCAR” as one of the “Next Nine!” A driver showcased by NASCAR as one to watch in his climb as one of the next stars in NASCAR’s top levels of the sport. Hayley proved it again tonight!
This race at Phoenix showed that Hayley has the talent and can be a strong contender on both the short and long tracks in the series.
In the past other Canadian drivers like Paul Tracey and Ron Fellows have made their mark at the top in Indy Car and NASCAR racing. Hayley looks to be the next Canadian to carry the flag in the top levels of the sport.
The next stop for the Hayley Team is at Richmond, VA. on April 25th.
Swinging back to the west with a race at Stockton California on May 4th.
