Wood Siblings Sustain Strong Start to Season
Prodigy Race Promotions on Sprint Car Insider. Driver Exclusive- ELK GROVE, Calif. (June 15, 2020) – > Austin and Hailey Wood continued their strong start to the season Saturday at Dixon Speedway with each of them turning in top five finishes and Hailey topping the charts in qualifying for the second time this season.
As each took to the track for the seventh time this season both were able to pad their stat sheet. For Austin, after seven races he now sits with two wins, five podiums, and now six top fives after his fourth place run on Saturday.
For Hailey, she was able to strut her status as a true contender with her second quick time performance of 2020 as well as her third podium of the season. What’s special about this one is the fact that it came in Super 600, her first of the year at Dixon. Hailey Wood now sits at seven races with three podiums, five top tens, two heat wins and two fast times.
The weekend at Dixon kicked off for the pair with Austin landing sixth on the charts in restricted while Hailey finished on top of the board in super 600. As the night turned to heat races Austin brought the car home fifth while Hailey climbed from fourth to third.
This weekend Hailey was the only Wood to take part in Dash competition where she finished in sixth and earned a starting spot on the outside of row three for the feature.
As main event time descended upon Dixon Speedway for the fifth time this season Austin Wood took the green flag from the fifth position. With races clicking away the points picture is starting to become more clear and take shape. With that in mind every race is becoming increasingly more valuable. Wood was able to keep every thing underneath him on Saturday night after 25 laps bringing home his fourth top five in five races at Dixon with a fourth place finish. His finish now brings him within five points of the lead as he sits in third in the standings.
Hailey Wood opened the eyes of everyone on hand once again Saturday night. This time she started from sixth and charged her way up to take the checkered flag in third. With every passing week Hailey Wood has been faster and faster, and doing it on a consistent basis. The goal for Wood is to capture that elusive first Super 600 win. With performances like Saturday’s first career Super 600 podium she continues to inch closer and closer. Hailey Wood has asserted herself as a viable contender to win on any given night.
Next up for the Wood siblings they make their season debut at Delta Speedway. The crew over at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds has finally been given the go-ahead to hold a race and next Saturday night is the night. Finally the fast and famed 1/7th Mi. Oval will host its first event of 2020 on June 20th. It will be the third different race track the Wood’s will get to try their hand at this season and their eighth overall race. The 2020 season is finally rolling and Austin and Hailey Wood are taking it by storm.
