PETERSEN MEDIA: Following a break from racing action, Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports returned to action over the weekend, and after rain cancelled Friday’s program at Circle City Speedway, Myers Jr scored a runner up finish with the FAST Series on Saturday night at Paragon Speedway.
“It was great to get back in action with Hayward Motorsports over the weekend,” Joel Myers Jr said. “We have been gaining speed night in and night out, so to run second and get on the podium is great.”
With 20 cars on hand, Myers Jr earned fast time honors in his qualifying group aboard the Shiti Coolers/Gilstrap Motors backed No. 19. Myers Jr time was also good enough to give him fast time honors overall in his first appearance at the track.
Advancing from fourth to second in his heat race, Myers Jr was all set for the 30-lap feature event where he rolled off the starting grid from the fifth starting position.
Powering his way into third when the race came to life, the 18-year-old who hails from Sebastopol, CA slipped back to fourth briefly in a close knit battle, but settled back into third on the seventh lap.
Continuing to hold down the final spot on the podium, Myers Jr continued to have a very strong showing on the unfamiliar setting as he closed in on the lead duo. Moving into second on the 20th lap, Myers Jr continued to battle traffic as he chased after the race lead.
Holding on to second, Myers closed his night out with a second-place finish as he now gets ready to run his first ever King’s Royal.
“It was a great way to get back together and get ready for some big races,” Joel Myers Jr noted. I am excited for how our schedule is shaping up and I am excited to compete in some big races for the first time.”
