"Way to go Joe Hartley! That was a great weekend of racing at Houston. It seemed like everytime I looked up there was the red car going to the next round. What a thrill to be in the final run. The car looked solid all day Sunday. Joe and the team are finally getting some deserved TV air time."

Good luck next race,
Graycor Racing Fans

Hartley Racing Takes Second Place in Houston

 
April 1 , 2007 - The season is heating up. The Hartley Racing team was on fire at the O'Reilly Spring Nationals in Houston, TX this weekend.

The Hartley Racing team was off to a slow start on Friday. Round 1 Qualifying, Joe Hartley ran 14.013 at 48.76mph. This put him in 18th position. Then things started to heat up. Round 2 Qualifying, Joe Hartley ran 4.631 at 312.42mph. This would place Hartley Racing in 9th place.

Sunday's Round 1 Elimination stared off shaky. Joe Hartley had a strong start, however he started to spin the tires on the top half of the track. He ran 4.820 at 246.57mph. This would give him the win over Hillary Will. Round 2 Elimination put Hartley Racing up against Whit Bazemore. Bazemore lost traction and dropped a bunch of cylinders. Joe Hartley dropped a couple of cylinders also, however he kept the tires down and took the big upset win and sent Bazemore packing.

Round 3 Eliminations gave Joe Hartley the lane choice against David Grubnic. Grubnic was off to a good start, but ran out of steam. Hartley was able to blow past him with a 4.623 at 316.15mph.

This win will give Hartley the lane choice again Todd in his family's first-ever trip to a Top Fuel final round. Todd left a little quicker, however Hartley Racing takes an impressive second place with a time of 4.645 at 307.79.

Good luck next race,
Graycor Racing Fans
