Josh Haynes wins 2024 TFH Hire Muscle Car Series framed by Hytek Steel Framing at One Raceway

Herzog Steel Ford Mustang driver Josh Haynes has claimed the 2024 TFH Hire Muscle Car Series framed by Hytek Steel Framing title for 2024 at the season finale at One Raceway. 

Sam Bates from the famous Bates family and son of former TA2 Masters Champion Nick Bates had a tremendous sprint race debut weekend finishing 2nd overall. Bates showed class and pace through out the entire weekend, finishing well ahead of some of the more experienced competitors. 

NSW Dodge Challenger pilot Hayden Jackson completes the weekend podium after a storing battle with Bates in the final race. Jackson and Bates ran nose to tail through out race 4 but just couldn’t get the pass done at the flag.

In only his second event for the year, Tempest Solutions Chevrolet Camaro driver Zach Loscialpo had a strong weekend and was awarded the Hypercoil Hard Charger Award. Mark Crutcher in the #4 Crutcher Development’s Ford Mustang finished the weekend taking out his second Masters Championship even after contact in the final race with Aaron Prosser which ended his race prematurely. 

Brad Garter came into the round as a championship contender but unfortunately suffered mechanical gremlins all weekend putting pay to any any Championship aspirations. The Hi Tec Oils Driver finished 8th for the weekend but 2nd overall for the Championship. 

Speedway Legend Robbie Farr was awarded the Circo Masters Award for the weekend after being involved in battles all weekend,

The championship winners will be officially crowned at the 2024 TFH Hire Muscle Car Series framed by Hytek Steel Framing Awards Night on November 29th on the Gold Coast. 

QUOTES

Josh Haynes, #37 Herzog Steel Ford Mustang 
“We’ve worked 3 years for this so it means the world to me and my family. I’m still lost for words. If I didn’t have my team I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. To also be able to set the lap record at the end of the race I'm really stoked. It took me three attempts to get a skid started but once it got going it was quite good. Huge thank you again to everyone involved.”

Mark Crutcher, #4 Crutcher Development's Ford Mustang, Circo Master Class Champion
