DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – As a result of the ongoing pandemic, NASCAR has announced a revised 2021 Pinty’s Series schedule slated to start Sunday, Aug. 1 at Sunset Speedway. The season was originally set to open at Sunset on May 23.

The updated schedule features eleven races at seven tracks, all taking place in August and September. The season finale has moved to Delaware Speedway, but will remain known the Pinty’s Fall Brawl.

The two-month delay allows progress to be made in the battle against covid-19. All events will be run in accordance with local, provincial and federal guidelines.

“We are thrilled to have a full championship season scheduled and look forward to crowning a Pinty’s Series champion following the Pinty’s Fall Brawl,” said Chad Seigler, NASCAR vice president, international business development. “We appreciate the hard work of government officials and industry partners, and the patience of our fans, as we planned the 2021 schedule. Our main goal is put on as safe an event as possible. We also look forward to returning to a more traditional schedule next year, including the long-awaited dirt race at Ohsweken Speedway.”

Races will air on TSN and RDS in Canada and MavTV in the United States. Start times and complete broadcast schedules will be released at a later date.

Hagersville, Ontario- September 12, 2020- With 2 wins under his belt in the 2020 NASCAR Pinty’s Series FanCave Challenge, Hathaway and his #3 Kubota Chevrolet team lead the Championship points standings going into the season finale at Jukasa MotorSpeedway on Saturday.

   Practice before the 2-race event was a quick 30 minutes.  The Team’s efforts in the shop prepping the car meant only minor tweaks on their race set up trackside. Hathaway drew the fifth place starting spot for the Motomaster 125.

    Hathaway, with a pristine handling race car, worked his way up through the running order to take the lead on lap 47 of the race. He set a quick pace and stayed in the top 3 until taking the lead for the final time in the race on lap 79. He broke away from the rest of the pack with a full straightaway, 6-second lead, bringing home his 3rd victory of the 6-race series.

     Hathaway started 3rd in the 2nd race of the day and once again played it smart, patiently working his way to the lead on lap 25 and comfortably kept his #3 Kubota Chevrolet in the top 3 for the rest of the race, finishing 3rd.

     After a very successful season with 3 wins in 6 races, posting 5 top 5 finishes, 6 top 10 finishes and 393 laps lead, Hathaway dominated the 2020 season on track and was crowned the 2020 NASCAR Pinty’s Series FanCave Challenge Champion.

     Hathaway was full of pride and emotion during the Championship ceremonies. “I can’t say enough about how proud I am of this Team and what we have accomplished this season. The shop prep was awesome, with countless hours put in by the guys during the week and on weekends, making my job easier to go out and win races. Our EHR group is so dedicated and loyal. Thanks to Kubota for their unwavering support during these unprecedented times as well as Total Lubricants Canada and Kugel Bearing.”

     Team principal Ed Hakonson was also on hand for the Championship ceremonies at Jukasa. “Jay and the boys did a great job this season. The crew in the shop not only prepared Jay’s car but also helped to field 3 other teams. I think that really demonstrates their commitment to this team and to the sport during these trying times we are all facing. Congratulations to NASCAR on a successful 2020 season.”

     The Motomaster 125 will air on TSN on Saturday, September 19th at 11 am EST and the Pinty’s 125 will air on TSN on Sunday, September 27th at 5 pm. Both races will also be aired on RDS & RDS2 and MAVTV in the US.

Millgrove, ON- August 29, 2019 —  With a strong showing at Sunset Speedway a few weeks ago, where he dominated the weekend, Hathaway and his #3 Kubota Chevrolet were focused on continuing their on-track success at Flamboro Speedway Saturday for the 3rd and 4th races of the 2020 NASCAR Pinty’s Series FanCave Challenge on Saturday.

The EHR team came off the trailer strong in practice and pulled a pole position starting spot in the random draw for the Pinty’s 125 later in the afternoon.

In the race, Hathaway was once again the class of the field leading every lap and posted some pretty wicked lap times. He went flag to flag in the 125-lap event and brought home his second win of the 2020 NPS season.

“We are pretty happy with our car today. Our #3 Kubota Chevrolet handled awesome and we able to pull away from the field. This is a great way to kick off the day of racing here at Flamboro and to celebrate my daughter Macy’s birthday as well,” said Hathaway in victory lane.

The Team also raced in the PartyCasino 125 later Saturday afternoon starting 4th in the lineup. Hathaway had an excellent start and wheeled his way into 3rd with the drop of the green flag. He settled into 3rd and by lap 67 had taken over 2nd place in the running order. A long green-flag run ensued and despite his best efforts, Hathaway finished 2nd in the race.

Hathaway was pleased with the success of the team’s weekend. “I am super proud of the entire team and all of the hard work and shop prep that has gone into our EHR equipment this season. We really wanted to take home another win here tonight, but we will take the 2nd place and get ready for Jukasa in a few weeks.”

After the weekend’s results, Hathaway is leading the points in the FanCave Challenge.

The Pinty’s 125 will air on TSN on Sunday, September 6th at 430 pm EST and the PartyCasino 125 will air on TSN on Saturday, September 12 at noon. They will also be aired on RDS & RDS2 and MAVTV in the US.

Innisfil, ON- August 15, 2019- After a prolonged off-season Hathaway and his #3 Kubota Chevrolet were ready to kick their 2020 race season off strong and showed their intentions coming off of the trailer with a fast car, dominating the on-track activity and bringing home a win.

  Hathaway did well in practice and his team fine-tuned their race machine. Under the 2020 race format, the team randomly pulled their starting position and they started the 1st of 2 -125 lap races in the 3rd starting position.

  In the first race, The QwickWick 125, it didn’t take Hathaway long to find his rhythm around the .333-mile oval track, taking the lead on lap 2, fell back to 2nd for a 20-lap segment early on and taking the lead back on lap 31.  Hathaway had an excellent car and it was the class of the field. As the laps clicked down on the race, Hathaway was deliberately spun on the last 3 restarts of the race while leading. With some awesome driving, Hathaway kept his car off the wall each time but was relegated to a 9th place finishing spot.

   During the 30-minute break between races, the team prepped the car for the 2nd event the Canadian Tire 125 with fuel, tires and a few minor adjustments. Hathaway put his misfortune behind him for the 2nd 125 lap race and focused on winning.

  The random starting draw placed Hathaway 5th in the starting order and again he dominated the race, taking the lead on lap 25 and never looked back.  He put a comfortable gap between himself and the rest of the field and lapped cars up to 4th place in the running order.  Hathaway brought his #3 Kubota Chevrolet home to victory lane with a blistering 4.8 second lead over the rest of the field. 

  “We had a great car for both races. Its too bad that we were targeted like we were in the first one but that’s fine, we showed our strength and preparation in the 2nd race bringing home the win, the checkered flag and the trophy for Kubota and our new partners Kugel Bearing and Total Lubricants. It’s also our car owner Ed’s birthday on Monday, so this isn’t a bad gift for him.” said a happy Hathaway in victory lane.

  The QwickWick 125 will broadcast on TSN on Sunday, August 23rd at 12 noon and the Canadian Tire 125 will air on TSN on Saturday, August 29 at 2 pm. They will also be aired on RDS & RDS2 and MAVTV in the US. 

  The full season will be live-streamed in Canada and the USA on TSN.ca and TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold respectively.

  The NASCAR Pinty’s Series will head to Flamboro Speedway near Hamilton, Ontario on Saturday, August 29th for the next doubleheader 125 lap races.

March 13 2020- Stouffville, Ontario – Up and coming stock car driver Connor James will join NASCAR Pinty’s Series Team 3 Red/ Ed Hakonson Racing (T3R/EHR) for 3 races in 2020. Both parties were able to reach an agreement rather quickly once discussions started based on some family business relationships built many years ago.

The 3 races on James’ 2020 schedule will include the season-opening oval race at Jukasa Motor Speedway as well as Connor’s home track Sunset Speedway and the season finale at Jukasa Motor Speedway in September.

“I am super excited to be racing in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series again. After watching the races last year and seeing the talent in this series it made me want to get back into a car this year. To be running with a team like T3R/EHR is a dream come true.” explained Connor.

Team Principal Ed Hakonson sees this as a great opportunity for both the team and Connor James. “We’re thrilled to have Connor joining us,” said Hakonson. “Bringing in a young talented driver into the NASCAR Pinty’s Series is always positive for all involved. His family has a racing background as well and they’re top-calibre people” he added.

This will make T3R/EHR a 3-car team for selected events in 2020. Everyone is looking forward to getting the season started with lots of preparation in motion at T3R/EHR.
