Jeff Agnew set for Daytona |
“I can’t wait to get to
Daytona, get strapped into the truck and add this to the list of goals and
achievements in my racing career,” Agnew said. “We’re taking the Team 7 guys
that have worked with me in the past and combining forces with Hillman Racing,
and I think it’s going to be a potent combination.”
The 2013 season will
mark Hillman Racing’s second year of competition in the NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series, but it’s the same equipment and management team that won two
truck series championships in 2006 and 2010. Agnew will utilize MHR-004 in
Friday’s 100-lap NCWTS race at Daytona International Speedway. Chassis MHR-004
is a proven winner on NASCAR’s two superspeedways, visiting Victory Lane on
four separate occasions: Daytona (2008 & 2009); Talladega (2007 &
2008). Doug Weddle, the long-time friend and crew chief of Agnew, will work
alongside Mark Hillman as the two will call the shots this weekend.
“We started talking with
Jeff back in December about providing him trucks for Daytona and it progressed
into an agreement where we are going to help him at the start of the season,”
said team owner Mike Hillman, Sr. “Jeff has proven himself on the short tracks
winning numerous championships and I believe Hillman Racing, the assets and the
knowledge that we have, can help his transition to NASCAR as he takes the next
step in his career.”
