Hagar Eyeing Opportunity to Extend Winning Streak at Riverside International Speedway

Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ark. (April 16, 2025) – A flood that forced in more than a foot of water hammered Derek Hagar’s business a week and a half ago, keeping him from being able to compete in a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series doubleheader in Missouri last weekend.

“There were people from the racing community that showed up to help us get cleaned up last Monday,” he said. “It got us kick started for the rest of the week to get things back in order. The racing family is a good family to be a part of.”

Racing resumes this weekend as Hagar and car owner A.G. Rains are looking for their second straight victory when the duo invades Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., on Saturday for an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints show.

Hagar and Rains garnered their first triumph of the season during their most recent race – on March 22 in Mississippi. This weekend they will head to a home track, where they swept the program during the season finale last season.

“We have high expectations and are excited to race at home,” Hagar said. “After the first weekend of racing together, we had a pretty successful weekend we can build on. We’ve raced together at West Memphis and won so I don’t see any reason why we can’t have a successful weekend.”

Hagar is on a five-year winning streak at Riverside International Speedway. He captured seven wins there last season, nine in 2023, five in 2022, three in 2021 and four in 2020. Hagar was also victorious at the track in 2017, three times in 2016, twice in both 2014 and 2015, and once per year in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

“That race track has been a part of our family for a long time,” he said. “I hope to keep the winning streak alive and to keep those numbers climbing. There’s a lot of great people from our area who have won a lot. It means a lot for me to continue to win at that track.”
