Inside Line Promotions – SUNNYVALE, Texas (Nov. 3, 2014) – Sam Hafertepe Jr. is in the thick of a tight points race heading into the final two weeks of the season.

Hafertepe Jr. ranks fourth in the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour championship standings – only 53 points out of the lead – with four races remaining, including the Battle at the Border doubleheader this weekend.

“We haven’t focused on points this season,” he said. “Our goal has been to go out and win races and then we’ll see where everything shakes out at the end.”

Hafertepe Jr. enters the weekend with a series-leading four feature victories. He also has 14 top fives and 24 top 10s – both are second in the series.

This weekend’s competition kicks off on Friday at El Paso Speedway Park in El Paso, Texas, where Hafertepe Jr. will make his 360ci sprint car debut. He finished 11th at the track with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series last season.

Hafertepe Jr. will wrap up the weekend on Saturday at Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, N.M., where he hasn’t competed since 2011.

“I don’t have a lot of experience at either track, but I feel confident going into this weekend,” he said. “We’ve had one of the fastest cars this season and if we can avoid the bad luck, I think we’ll be in contention to win each night.”
