Chaudiere, QC June 29, 2019- Hathaway’s return to Autodrome Chaudière, looked promising during the 300 lap event but was cut short by a late race crash.
With rain delaying Saturday’s regular schedule, Hathaway in his #3 Kubota Chevrolet and his fellow competitors finally saw track time for 30-minute practice Saturday afternoon following by qualifying.
Hathaway qualified 11th, but with this experience at this track he was ready to head towards the front.
Hathaway went to work quickly when the green flag dropped on the 300-lap main event Saturday evening. Hathaway knocked off positions as he made his way through the field.
By the mandatory break at lap 155, Hathaway was up to 7th position in the running order.
At the break the crew made their adjustments and serviced the car and sent Hathaway back out to content for a top spot.
With fresh tires and adjustments Hathaway once again moved towards the front. By lap 180, he was in the top 3 and looking for a podium finish.
Unfortunately, the top finish they were looking for was not in the cards as a late race crash took Hathaway out of competition and retired his car 15th.
“It is unbelievable how rough this series has become beating and banging on each other off the start of the race. It was a tough race for our Kubota Chevrolet tonight. We will battle back. “Said Hathaway after the race.
The next event for Hathaway and his Team will be Saturday July 13th at the Honda Indy in Toronto.
