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 5th fasted in practice carrying on with their great trackside efforts that carried throughout the western swing. In qualifying on Wednesday afternoon, Hathaway ran the 5th 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 6th 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 3rd 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 6th 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 & 15th, 2010.
