T Minus 6 Days For HayWire Racing

Tacoma, Washington –
2-29-2010 – Facing the kickoff of the 2010 racing season, the small family operated team of HayWire Motorsports rushes to get set for the opening day as they try to complete the #68 KMB / Hargis Engineers / Print-NW / Ringers Gloves / Cornwell Tools Toyota Camry driven by “Terrible” Tim McDougald.



“We’ve been rushing like crazy to get this car done in time. I’m still a bit nervous about it. The guys have worked pretty hard; we’ve all put in a lot of hours. I’ll be happy when it is done and at the track” said driver “Terrible” Tim McDougald.



With the plan of running for “Rookie-of-the-Year” at Southsound Speedway quickly unfolding, the team tries to make final preparations to the new car before time runs out. “I think it’s going to be close” said “Terrible” Tim. “We haven’t thrown in the towel yet, but it’s been a battle. I’m really looking forward to kicking off this year, partly because it’ll mean the car is done. I think the new car is going to be great, it’s really starting to come together, it’s looking like a very nice piece. But only time will tell, we’ll know when we hit the track. We have some stuff we are trying this year that is all kind of new to us, so practice would have been very valuable but we missed those days so now we’re a bit behind. But I’m pretty confident my guys will come through when it matters, they always do.”



The 2010 racing season starts the first weekend of April for Southsound Speedway with the Limited Late Model class on tap for opening night, but Mother Nature may have something to say about it. “The long range forecast right now says rain all weekend, but it’s been different every day for the last week so it’s hard to say” said “Terrible” Tim. “That’s the joy of living in the Northwest, you just don’t know about the weather. But truthfully, I’d be ok with rain this time. We won’t give up just yet, but it’s a knock down, drag out fight right now.”



The team is also making preparations for the start of the Street Stock division the following week with their new rookie driver Donny Engh and the new #29 car. That car has been at practice over the last 3 weeks and has steadily improved, putting the team on track for the season opener in Street Stocks and it’s goal of “Rookie-of-the-Year” in that division as well.
