Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ark. (May 19, 2025) – Derek Hagar is preparing to nearly double his season race count during the next couple of weeks.

Hagar, who has seven sprint car starts so far this season, and car owner A.G. Rains are tackling the USCS Series Speedweek, which features seven races in a nine-day period.

“A couple of years ago we swept it and won every night,” Hagar said. “That’s the first time that’s ever been done in history. We look forward to going out and seeing if we can do that again. It’ll be nice to have a long stretch of racing. Hopefully we can click off some wins.”

Speedweek begins this Friday at Benton Speedway in Benton, Mo. On Saturday, the action shifts to Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., with Old No. 1 Speedway in Harrisburg, Ark., hosting a show on Sunday. Memorial Day Weekend concludes on Monday with a race at Clayhill Motorsports Park in Atwood, Tenn.

Races on May 29 at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Ala,; May 30 at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, Miss.; and May 31 at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Miss., fill out the Speedweek schedule.

“We’ve won at every track we’re going to,” Hagar said. “Having everything together and making sure the nights click off like they should is key. You need to have good passing points in the heats to get into the dash. Getting in the dash sets you up for the feature. Everything has to click. We just have to keep our nose clean.”

Hagar’s most recent race was on May 10 at Riverside International Speedway, where he advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race. That lined him up eighth for the feature, which rained out before it was contested. The drivers finishing positions were credited to their starting positions.
