Bryan Hulbert – WHEATLAND, Mo. (September 17, 2021) Getting the lead on Lap 5 and running away, Derek Hagar made it back-to-back wins at Lucas Oil Speedway in the 2021 Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.
“Man, we just need to seal the deal,” stated Hagar of his run thus far.
Winning by 1.851-seconds, Hagar was never challenged through a pair of stoppages on Lap 16, which turned into a red, and Lap 22, which saw Blake Hahn get tangled with a tractor tire while running third. Getting the run on Westbrook following a caution on Lap 3, it was a repeat of the line Derek ran on Thursday night with the No. 9jr rolling a diamond through the third and fourth turns. Having to switch his line up slightly as Dylan Westbrook turned to defend his race lead, Hagar was able to roll low and swing out off the fourth turn to capture the point.
“I was worried when they worked the track,” commented Derek. “They did a lot, and everybody is good when the track has moisture, but when I saw the No. 47 crew signaling him [Westbrook] to get to the bottom, I knew it was over then because I could carry momentum really good through the middle and was able to get him on that restart. This car just floats the middle so nice.”
Solidifying his pole starting position for Saturday’s $10,000 to win SawBlade.com A-Feature, Derek was chased to the finish by Roger Crockett. Battling a very loose car the night before, a couple of minor tweaks was all it took for the No. 11 to come to life. Pulling the wing into the trunk before the Lap 22 restart, Roger shot from fourth to second through the next two laps but was out of time to mount a charge on Hagar.
Dylan Westbrook held on for third, and with the rebound run after a DNF on Thursday, was the final driver to lock straight into Saturday’s A-Feature. Another driver with a much better night, Jack Dover brought his spare car to a fourth-place finish with J.J. Hickle making of the biggest moves of the race with a last corner pass to move from seventh to fifth.
Garet Williamson ended up sixth through the final two turns with Joe B. Miller winding up seventh. Chase Porter crossed eighth with Howard Moore racing from 15th to ninth. The night’s Hard Charger, Jordon Mallett, clawed his way from 22nd to complete the top ten.
With the first two nights of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial in the books, the eight drivers locked into Saturday’s championship event include Derek Hagar (343), Roger Crockett (297), Howard Moore (289), Joe B. Miller (281), J.J. Hickle (273), Scott Bogucki (271), Jeremy Campbell (269), and Dylan Westbrook (268). The remainder of the field is broken down into four Last Chance Qualifiers, with the top two from each moving on. The remainder will file into three BMRS B-Features, taking the top two from each of those.
The finale of the 2021 Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway opens at 4:00 P.M. with Hot Laps at 5:30 P.M. and Racing at 6:35 P.M. (CDT).
