Hooker Wins at Delaware Speedway

Chatham’s Kirk Hooker grabbed the checkered flag Friday night at Delaware Speedway in the FT Garage Late Models division.

Hooker took the lead in the 40-lap race in lap 3 when he passed Windsor’s Lloyd Rawlings.

Hooker would hold the lead for the remainder of the race, holding off the Late Model point leaders through two cautions. Hooker finished ahead of St. Thomas’ Mark Watson, who was second, and Hepworth’s Andrew Gresel who finished third in the race.

Gresel, Watson, and Hooker each have one win in the FT Garage Late Model season, with no repeat winners in the division.

The win vaulted Hooker into 4th overall in the FT Garage Late Models standings, only 16 points behind Watson for the lead.
