Hathaway recorded an impressive season with 4 top 5 finishes and 6 top 10 finishes. The team battled back from some bad racing luck in the later part of the season and finished 7th in the 2012 Driver Championship Points standings.
Hathaway is excited to hone his skills and expand his driving experience. “Any time we get the opportunity to try a different kind of racing it’s great. I like to build on my driving resume, trying different styles of cars and tracks. I am really looking forward to taking the helm of the #37 next weekend. We are proud to have Choko and King Beer on the car as well as Great Lakes Concrete and Fast Eddie Racewear.”
