YOUNG NEW MEXICO STAR JOSH HODGES ENTERS OVAL NATIONALS!
(Perris, CA, October 7, 2016) Fresh off the biggest win of his sprint car career, rising Tijeras, New Mexico star Josh Hodges has submitted his entry for the 21stAnnual Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction at Perris Auto Speedway on November 10th, 11th and 12th.
Last Saturday night the 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at New Mexico Tech scored an impressive $10,000.00 win in the “Fall Classic” at Indiana’s Lawrenceburg Speedway. It was the first USAC National Sprint Car win of his career. At Lawrenceburg, Hodges took the lead from legendary 3-time Oval Nationals champion Dave Darland with 13-laps to go and then ran away from the field for a convincing win.
No stranger to Perris Auto Speedway, Hodges won the April 16th USAC/CRA main event at the famous Riverside County clay oval. Driving with a flat right rear tire, Hodges passed Damion Gardner at the line for that win, which was his first ever in Southern California. Earlier in 2016, he won two of the five main events in the USAC Southwest Series “Winter Challenge” at Canyon Raceway Park in Peoria, Arizona.
Before his big win at Lawrenceburg last Saturday, Hodges, who won his first ever sprint car main event at the age of 14, won a BOSS Sprint Car Series main and the Dick Gaines Memorial at Lawrenceburg earlier this year. He also won his first Kokomo Speedway sprint car main in June.
