“It was good to get once more race in before we called in a year,” Hammes said. “I wish it would gone a little better, but we were just a step off and that shows with a 10th place finish.”
24 cars checked in for battle on Saturday night in Marysville, CA and Hammes opened the night up by timing the Movement Brewing/STS Farming/All About Fire Protection backed No. 56C entry in 12th fastest in qualifying time trials.
Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Hammes needed to score the win to earn a berth in the all important redraw. Taking the green alongside older brother, Dawson, Hammes settled into second as the action came to life.
Giving chase and hanging with Dawson, Carson was unable to sneak past him as his second-place finish moved him into the feature, but lined him up mid pack.
Taking the green flag from the 14th starting spot for the 25-lapper, a multi-groove surface was offered up to the field on this night, giving Hammes an opportunity to work his way towards the front.
Settling into 13th during the opening stanzas of the final feature event of the years, Hammes moved into 11th on the fourth lap before breaking into the Top-10 on lap seven as he was up into the ninth position.
Getting as high as eight at the halfway point of the feature event, Hammes had a slight misstep that saw him fall back to 10th with seven laps left in the race.
Settling into the 10th position, Hammes rode it out, and capped his season off with his eighth Top-10 of the year.
“Overall, it was a great year, and I want to thank my family, and all of our supporters,” Hammes said. “We were able to win the Championship as well as three feature events, so hopefully we can build off that this winter and be even better in 2025.”
Hammes Motorsports would like to thank Movement Brewing, STS Farming, All About Fire Protection, Summit Partners Burbank Agency, Escalera Inc., Harper Inc., Rock Crushing Solutions, Shane Matthews Transport, and Ace Attorney Services for their continued support.
