HayWire Racing Working On Miracle

Tacoma, Washington – 7-5-2011 – After suffering what appeared to be a season ending crash, "Terrible" Tim McDougald, driver of the #68 KMB Design / Hargis Engineers / Print-NW / Cornwell Tools / Ringers Gloves Toyota Camry is crossing his fingers, holding his breath, and praying for a miracle that will return him and his team to the track much sooner than first thought.

At the end of the second round of the "Big-West" series at Evergreen Speedway, held on June 25th, "Terrible" Tim McDougald was left loading a bruised, beaten and battered hulk of what was once his #68 KMB Design / Hargis Engineers / Print-NW / Cornwell Tools / Ringers Gloves Toyota Camry. With damage to both ends of the car sustained from a crash with just 3 laps left in the night's events, the small family team confronted the reality that the season had come to an abrupt end. But that end was to be put on hold, at least temporarily, due to a huge outpouring of support from some fellow racers. "I can't believe the amount of support that we've got," said driver "Terrible" Tim McDougald. "The whole community has really rallied behind me; I'm just shocked by all this. Jeff Knight was the first to offer help and I gotta thank him for that. I've known Jeff a little bit for a while now. He really jumped in to help me out here. Several other people followed right behind Jeff; I gotta thank John Zaretzke, Rick Hagar and even Fred Hall. Fred and I talked after the wreck and it didn't go too well. But he called me a couple days later and said he wanted to help us get it fixed. I can't ask for much more than that. We talked about the wreck, he offered his help, and I'm good with it. Everyone has just been so amazing."


With the goal of making the GM Crate Nationals on July 10th looming, the work continues on the #68 KMB Design / Hargis Engineers / Print-NW / Cornwell Tools / Ringers Gloves Toyota Camry. "I know right now making the Crate Nationals is a long shot," said "Terrible" Tim. "But we're gonna give it a run and see what happens. JZ is up at his place doing what he does best. If anyone can fix that car, it's him. A lot of people are throwing parts at it to replace what we bent or broke. I'm staying optimistic, I think it's possible, but it's still a long shot. What we need right now are a lot of crossed fingers and a lot of answered prayers. I've placed my faith in their hands, I believe these guys can do it, you just watch." The impromptu crew will be doing everything they can to add one more car to the entry list.

With the NASCAR K&N West Series coming to town for the weekend's festivities, this event promises to be the biggest spectacle at Evergreen Speedway this season. The don't miss event of the season could be the big K&N West Series race, or it could be the return of "Terrible" Tim McDougald and his #68 KMB Design / Hargis Engineers / Print-NW / Cornwell Tools / Ringers Gloves Toyota Camry at the hands of his fellow racers rallying around a car that many thought would never race again. Only time will tell; and you don't want to miss the outcome. Be sure to get your tickets to this event now and be sure to let the HayWire Racing team and all those who have jumped on board to fix the #68 KMB Design / Hargis Engineers / Print-NW / Cornwell Tools / Ringers Gloves Toyota Camry know that you appreciate the effort being put into adding that car to the field for Sunday's events.
