ALK Promotions, August 20

Burlington, Wash. driver Chad Hillier continued his string of A-Feature appearances with the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series by making Tuesday’s event at Billings Motorsports Park in Montana.

Driving the DIRT Inc. No. 5c Maxim sponsored by Jansma Construction, Wink Dog Motorsports and Fast Wings, the second-year Outlaw regular drove his way to a 15^th place finish, his fourth top-15 in as many races over the past two weeks.

Hillier started the evening by qualifying 14^th out of 33 cars on hand with a time of 13.044 seconds around the 3/8-mile, semi-banked clay oval. With that time Chad was slated to start in the second heat race, where he finished fourth behind Jason Meyers, Jac Haudenschil and Daryn Pittman. His fourth place finish was good enough to transfer to the 25-lap A-Feature event.

Starting 17^th, Hillier moved up to finish 15^th and earn another $1,000. Hillier is currently maintaining his 16^th place position in the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series point standings.

Next for Chad is a trip across the border to Canada, where the series will continue its Gold Rush Tour on Friday and Saturday in the second annual Oil City Cup at Edmonton, Alberta’s Castrol Raceway, a track where Hillier has run several times prior to his time with the Outlaws. Next week will be Chad’s homecoming to Washington state. The NC Machinery Caterpillar Clash is August 29 and 30 at Skagit Speedway, where Chad is a multi-time track champion. He will return to Grays Harbor Raceway on Monday, September 1 and Cottage Grove Speedway in Oregon on Tuesday, Setpember 2.

DIRT Inc. is currently seeking companies that are interested in advertising and being part of the team as they race across the nation, coast to coast, and onto your television screen. Interested parties can contact Team Owner Dave DeWitt at [email protected], 425-308-8658, or 19916 Old Owen Road, #100, Monroe, WA 98272.
