Avondale, AZ- November 11, 2017- Hathaway made his 2^nd NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start Friday night at Phoenix International Raceway, competing in the Lucas Oil 150.

Hathaway teamed up with Premium Motorsports in his 2^nd effort of the 2017 season at PIR to field the #15 Kubota Tractor/Choko Chevrolet on the fast 1-mile oval in his first NCWTS oval start.

After a few pace laps in the caution car with Series driver Johnny Sauter, practice was Hathaway’s first real laps around the track in his race machine.  Practice gave him some laps to get comfortable with the truck and the track working with his NPS Series Spotter Jeff Gotalear.

Group qualifying on Saturday afternoon saw Hathaway make it through the first round of qualifying and into the second, posting a 23^rd starting spot.

Hathaway took the green flag under the lights of PIR with his family and friends on hand. Fellow Canadian racer and friend, DJ Kennington was on hand on the weekend for his Monster Energy Cup start in his Premium Motorsports #15 and gave Hathaway some insight on the track.

The name of the game was to go out, get experience and survive the race. The race was broken into 3 segments. At the end of the first segment Hathaway was running 20^th and at the end of second segment was 19^th. The third segment was when the field got super racey and Hathaway held his own.

The Team made a few adjustments to tighten up Hathaway’s race machine in the last segment and set his sights on making some movement through the field. Hathaway had a great run to the finish and earned an 11^th place finishing position.

“We had a great run tonight at PIR. Having an opportunity to run at this fun oval was a dream come true. The NASCAR Truck series is so much fun and the competitors are great to race with. Thanks to Kubota for all they did to get us here. It meant the world to us to have their support,” said Hathaway after the race.

The race was aired live on Fox Sports 1 across the US and Canada.
