June 15, 2013- London, Ontario- After a very successful third place finish at the season opener three weeks ago at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, Hathaway and his team were looking forward to getting started on the oval tracks on the schedule last night at Delaware Speedway.

However, a flat tire suffered early in the 200 lap EMCO 200 took that away from the hard charging team.  

Returning to his roots at Delaware Speedway, where Hathaway got his racing start and won countless races, Jason Hathaway and his #3 Snap-on Tools/Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge were poised to have a great night at the familiar track. The car practiced very well, was third on the speed charts and Hathaway laid down a sixth pace qualifying effort.

“It’s great to come to the track every weekend and know that we have a car that is very competitive everywhere we go. The guys in the shop worked really hard during the off season and during the week and we are excited to show what we can do this weekend.” said Hathaway during the trackside autograph session where he was flanked by the popular ROCKSTAR models.

Starting on the outside of Row 3, Hathaway and team spotter Jeff Gotalear worked to get a run going early and to get down to the bottom groove of the race track off the start. This set him up to contend for fifth, and by lap 17 he had taken over the spot.  

Hathaway pulled into the fourth place when he reported a wicked vibration to his Crew Chief, Craig Masters.

By the time Hathaway brought his race machine to the attention of his over-the-wall crew, his left front tire was flat. Under green flag conditions, the team changed the tire and repaired the damage to the car.

With green flag laps still being recorded on the track, unfortunately he went down three laps to the leaders.  

Hathaway battled back as much as he could but was running on his own lap for the remainder of the race, recordings some super-fast laps and working his way back up to the 11th finishing position.

“This was not the night that we worked for tonight. We had a great car and the flat tire really wrecked our night. We battled back, but we could only get so far up in the field to get our laps back. Our over the wall guys worked hard never gave up. With our equipment and their determination we will battle back next week at Mosport.

The EMCO 200 will air on TSN on June 23, 2013 at 1 pm EST and on RDS2 on Monday July 8 at 9pm.

Despite the frustrating finish, Hathaway still has a strong hold on third place in the Championship points standings going into the Clarington 200 at the Bowmanville-area Canadian Tire Motorsports Park Speedway on June 22, 2013.
