August 29, 2010, Montreal, Quebec,- Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge were joined the on the race schedule by NASCAR Nationwide Series this weekend at the famous Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series NAPA Autopro 100.

      The start of the weekend was tough for the Team as the #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge struggled to get a clean lap posted during practice due to caution flags on the track.  During qualifying Hathaway posted a 16th place qualifying result, again struggling to get a clean lap due to on track accidents that shortened the qualifying session.

      Starting 16th, the main focus of the Team was to get working through the pack and toward the front in the quick 23 lap race. Hathaway got his drive toward the front going early making the most of his ability to get through corner 1 and 2 well.  Hathaway made most of his moves through those 2 corners as well as corner 3 and by lap 17 was 7^th in the running order. With 5 laps to go Hathaway made his way through a tangle between 2 cars and slid into 5^th place in the running order.  The race finished under green, white, checker flag conditions and Hathaway posted a 5^th place finish.

    Hathaway was pleased with the teams’ best road course finish of the 2010 season.  “I am pretty proud of our finish today. We finished the last of the road courses of the year on a high note and we have had steady improvement throughout the season.  Road courses are hard on brakes and our Vortex Brake Pads kept us in the game for sure.  The live television today was excellent and the stands were packed, I hope the fans really enjoyed the race. ”

      The Team will have one weekend off before finishing up the 2010 season with 3 oval track races in a row.  On September 11^th the Team will race under the lights at Barrie Speedway, followed by Riverside Speedway in Antigonish, Nova Scotia September 18^th with the season finale at Kawartha Speedway near Peterborough, Ontario on September 25^th.

     August 22, 2010-Bowmanville, Ontario-Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge were hoping for an excellent showing at the 1/2mile MOSPORT oval just outside of Bowmanville, Ontario. Unfortunately some tough luck on the track would keep the Team from realizing that goal.

      The #3 Snap-on Tools/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge ran really well in practice right off of the trailer and was 3^rd in practice times on the speed charts.  Hathaway drew the #3 qualifying position in the qualifying order. A slick race track during his qualifying effort after a heavy down pour harboured Hathaway’s qualifying effort, but managed to pull together a 7^th place qualifying effort.

     During the 200 lap race it did not take long for Hathaway to make his way towards the front as he settled into the  5^th place in the running order until lap 77 when Hathaway came in for a fuel stop to take him to the end of the race.  He went back out on the track in 8^th and stayed there until lap 128 when he came in once again to get fresh right side tires.  Hathaway was once again in his rhythm and posted the fastest running times on the track multiple times as he worked his way back towards the front after his tire stop.

    An accident in corner 1 & 2 on lap 177 tagged Hathaway as he tried to avoid the accident.  The Team didn’t see any immediate damage and it wasn’t until a few laps later that the damage to his race machine showed when he spun and backed his car into the wall after his left rear tire gave way.  Hathaway brought his battered Dodge to the attention of his crew who went to work on the rear end and patched it up the best they could to finish the race in the 14^th position.

      “This was a pretty frustrating race for this team.  Our car was good and getting better as the night went on.  The tire that blew ended our night and I hate it for all of our sponsors that help get us here each and every race.   We will get this car home and get it race ready for Barrie and hopefully make up for what we lost here tonight.”  Said a very disappointed Hathaway after climbing out of his car after the race.

      The next event for the Team is this coming weekend August 27^th, 28th , 29^th at the Circuit de Jacques Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, alongside the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

August 15, 2010-Trois-Rivieres, Quebec,- Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge had a solid finish at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres 1.5 mile road course this weekend, but the finish they brought home was not the one they knew they were capable of.

      The #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge posted a good practice result and recorded 12^th fastest practice times.  The Team made some more adjustments for qualifying and in the qualifying session Hathaway put down a 5^th place qualifying effort.  “We made a few changes after practice to help the car and set it up for qualifying and the race tomorrow.  It definitely helped the car and I think we have a great chance tomorrow.” Said Hathaway after qualifying.

      Starting 5^th, Hathaway got his drive toward the front going early and made his way up the running order to 3^rd, battling with some of the great road course competitors in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.  A miss queue just before the half way point, in a braking zone, caused Hathaway to spin trying to avoid another car and he fell back to the 12th spot.  With limited laps left to claw his way back up towards the front, coupled with a number of caution periods on the track, limited Hathaway’s time to get his car to where he wanted it in the running order.  Hathaway put in an amazing drive none the less and brought his #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge home in the 8^th spot.

      Hathaway knew they had a better finish in the car and him than what the finishing order showed. “We had a great run going and would have been in the top 5 if we didn’t have to avoid the situation in the corner where we spun.  The car war fast and it handled well. Our road course program has been doing well this season and I am looking forward to Montreal in a few weeks to see what we can do there.”

      The Team will return to home soil this coming weekend at the Dickies 200 presented by Vortex Brake Pads at the oval at the Mosport International Speedway on Saturday night , August 21, 2010., 2010.

     August 5, 2010-Saskatoon, Saskatchewan– Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge made their final stop in western Canada yesterday taking part in the Prairie Thunder 250 at Auto Clearing Motorspeedway in Saskatoon.

      The #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge was 5^th fasted in practice carrying on with their great trackside efforts that carried throughout the western swing.  In qualifying on Wednesday afternoon, Hathaway ran the 5^th quickest lap in the field giving him an inside row three starting spot. “We are pretty happy with our performance form last weekend and we are excited about the race tonight.” Said Hathaway after qualifying.

      Hathaway found his rhythm right off the top of the 250 lap event moving from 6^th place in the running order to the 3rd place.  That was where Hathaway stayed in the running order for the races’ longest green flag run holding off the competition and putting down some incredible lap times.  It wasn’t until lap 203 when the Team finally caught a caution flag to come in for fuel and right side tires.  Hathaway went back out on the track in the 3^rd position, but slipped back as the adjustments and new tires changed the set up and Hathaway wasn’t able to hold onto the position.  Hathaway finished up 6^th in the finishing order.

   “Our car was fast this week, but something changed when we made that last stop. We will go back and look at it and see what happened. I have been pretty proud of this team the whole western trip.  We stuck together and were competitive each and every race.  We will get back home this weekend and get ready for the road course at Trois- Rivieres. I like that track and I am looking forward to it.” Summarized Hathaway after he climbed out of his racing machine.

     The Team will now take their #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar energy Drink Dodge to the next event at Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres August 14 & 15^th, 2010.

     July 31, 2010-Vernon, BC– Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge made their second stop on the three stop western swing tour at Motoplex, just outside of Vernon, British Columbia this weekend. After a so-so finish at this track last season the Team was pumped to improve their finish and keep the momentum going.

      The #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge showed well in practice and was posted fourth fastest on the speed chart after the one hour session. Hathaway was the first car on track to qualify later Saturday afternoon, qualifying his race machine outside row 4, in the 8^th starting spot.  “The car ran well in practice but, this is a long race tonight and it will be a test right up to the very end of the race for sure.” Hathaway predicted before sliding into his race car for the main 300 lap event.

      Hathaway got into his rhythm early with his sights on the front pack of drivers.  The crew brought Hathaway in for fuel and tires on lap 105 to fix a tight handling race car.  He went a lap down, but raced hard and received the “Lucky Dog Award” placing him back on the lead lap.

      As the set up and tire adjustments worked into the car after another stop after hitting the corner 2 wall , Hathaway battled back again driving around the leaders to earn his lap back by running hard and driving his way around the race leaders.  As pit stops cycled through just before the lap 200 mark, Hathaway inherited the first place and convincingly led the race for 30 or more laps.  A great battle to the end with fellow competitor DJ Kennington awarded EHR/Team 3 Red with a 2^nd place finish and an exciting race to the very end.

     “This is a great finish for us. DJ and I raced hard and we have been friends since we were kids so there is no one more I’d like to race with than him. We had some bad tire luck and got off our pit stop sequence, but Tyler made some great calls and we battled back lap after lap. We had a great time tonight and I’m proud of our Team.” summarized Hathaway as he took the podium and enjoyed the accolades of a podium finish.

     The Team will now take their #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge to the last event of the western swing schedule at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan August 4, 2010.

July 25, 2010 – Edmonton, Alberta – Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge made the long trip to the “City of Champions”, Edmonton Alberta, for the first of 3 western events on the 2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule.  The Team hoped to redeem themselves after a disappointing run at the Toronto Honda Indy last weekend.

Returning to the track was exciting for Hathaway as the weekends’ events’ got underway.  “I like this track and the fans are great here in Edmonton.”  The first and second practice sessions, taking place on Friday and Saturday, showed well for the Hathaway and his race machine. Qualifying on Saturday afternoon placed Hathaway in the 10TH starting spot for the 32 lap race.

Hathaway ran a consistent race working each lap to find the ideal lien to run as the track surface changed through our race. Hathaway had a great on track battle with the #42 car as their diced back and forth for the 6th spot in the last 10 laps of the race.  It was Hathaway that prevailed in the end bringing his #3 Snap-on Tools/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge home in one piece and in the 6th finishing position.

“It is pretty frustrating when a non regular competitor wants to race to you into a corner and doesn’t know better than to lift.  I had fun racing him all day long, but the last lap of the race was pretty crazy. I had to back out of the corner to make sure the guy didn’t take me out.  In the end NASCAR saw the incident and we came out on top.  The crew worked great this weekend and our road course program got a huge boost.  We will take this and build some momentum going to the next race in British Columbia.

The Team will then take their #3 Snap-on Tools/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge to the oval  at Motorplex in Vernon, British Columbia  July 31,2010  and then onto Auto Clearing Motorspeedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan August 4, 2010.

    July 18, 2010-Toronto, Ontario- Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge pulled into the paddock area at the Honda Indy Toronto for the forth stop on the 2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series this weekend.

      This was the first time Hathaway had seen the tight 11 turn temporary street course along Lakeshore Boulevard and through the CNE grounds in Toronto.  Hathaway used the practice and qualifying sessions to learn the course and sort out shift patterns and braking zones.

  “This is a tough track to learn in such a short period of time. It is pretty fast and the end of the Lakeshore will be the place to watch because it is fast and it ends with a hard right hand turn. “ Said Hathaway after qualifying 18th in the field. 

   As the race unfolded on Saturday afternoon, with live coverage on TSN, Hathaway had a steady run going working through the course and staying out of trouble. With only 2 laps to go in the 35 lap event Hathaway reported in that his #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge had quit running out on the track. He safely coasted his car into one of the run off areas and the team finished a tough 22nd in the finishing order.

    Hathaway was disappointed with the day’s results.  “This is a tough finish for us this weekend.  We had a solid top 15 finish in hand that would have not only have kept us in the hunt in the points championship, but also ensured that our car was in one piece to take to Edmonton on Monday. I did however learn a lot this weekend about this track for next year.  We will regroup and prepare for the western swing to Edmonton, Vernon and Saskatoon.  I enjoy running those tracks and we should be able to bounce back out there.” 

     The NASCAR Canadian Tire teams will next head west for three races in western Canada.  Round five for EHR/T3R will be on the flat temporary road course through the Edmonton Municipal Airport in Edmonton, Alberta.  The Team will then take their #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge to the Motorplex in Vernon, British Columbia and the Auto Clearing Motorspeedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

A pit stop on lap 101 gave Hathaway left side tires and 30 laps later right side tires.  With fresh tires Hathaway was 10^th in the running order turning up the heat and working his way back up to the 7th spot. Hathaway left the pressure on as the laps wound down and made great passes on the 9, 4  and 27 cars.  With 25 laps to go Hathaway had an awesome restart and put his racing machine inside the top 5, lining himself up for a strong 4^th place finish.

     With the fourth place finish Hathaway and his #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge now sit 5^th in the overall NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Championship.

    “This is a tricky little racetrack and we had a good night.

June 13, 2010- Bowmanville, Ontario– Jason Hathaway, EHR/T3R and the #3 Snap-on Tools/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge were met by cloudy skies and extensive showers at Mosport International Raceway  this weekend for the  Vortex Brake Pads 200.

     The Team was on track Sunday morning and Hathaway qualified his #3 Snap-on Tools/Vortex Brake Pads Dodge 13^th in a field of 24 cars. 

     The 51 lap race got underway under sunny skies and Hathaway started setting his rhythm getting around the 2.49 mile track.  Crew Chief Tyler Case brought the car in on lap 16 to top off the car’s fuel. Two laps later, the Team caught a break when a full course yellow flag came out and the Team’s pit crew were able to fly into action performing a fabulous 4 tire change. The Crew’s quick work helped Hathaway pick up 10 positions in the pits, going back out onto the track 7^th in the running order.

     As the race drew close to the end, Hathaway held off a number of cars, but with little time to make adjustments throughout the race, the handling of the car went away. When the checkered flag flew on the field Hathaway crossed the line in the 10^th position having fought back from 14^th in the few laps of the race.

     “We missed the set up a little this weekend with all of the unstable weather and not being too sure what today’s weather was going to bring.  The crew did a great job on the 4 tire stop and the spots we picked up in the pits were awesome.  I’d also like to thank our great Team sponsor Vortex Brakes for sponsoring the race this weekend and supporting the Series. We are proud to carry their colours and represent them each and every event. “ Said Hathaway after the race.

     The action started early trackside and the half way point of the 200 lap race Hathaway had his racing machine in the 4th stop.  Crew Chief Tyler Case brought Hathaway down pit road on lap 110 for right side tires to take him the rest of the distance and set Hathaway loose to work his way back up through the field to the front of the pack again.

      With 25 laps to go, Hathaway was sitting in the 6th position, working his way up from 11th after the pit stop.  Hathaway turned up the heat and made some exciting passes to put him in line for the Team’s first podium finish of the 2010 season.  On the last lap, going into corner 3 of the 1/2 -mile race track, Hathaway was hit by another car, sending him through the grass in corner 3 & 4, loosing track position and was relegated to 10th in the finishing order.
