FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HMS Earns 25th Victory!September 9, 2007, Phoenix, Arizona In
a night of ups and downs, Jeff Hybiak ended the night on an up note, winning the final
feature event and claiming Hybiak Motorsports’ 25th victory in their short history. It
was the kind of night that made the HMS team wish they had just stayed home. With temperatures in the 100’s as the night
began the team faced many challenges. In his
first heat, Jr 1-4 driver Cody Hybiak’s motor failed, forcing the team to make a
quick change in between heats. The back-up
motor was better for heat two, but he struggled to find any speed and ended up qualifying
last for the feature. Rookie
driver Tyler Hybiak did not fare much better. After
running most of the first heat in second place, a late race battle left him out of the
groove and nearly into the wall as he fell back to fourth place. In the second heat, he again was mixing it up with
the leaders, when he was spun going for second place.
Sitting in the middle of the track, one car narrowly missed him, while the
other clipped his right rear tire. The impact
ended up shearing off the studs on his hub. Luckily,
the team had a back-up in the trailer and had it and the tire replaced before the main
event. Animal
driver Jeff Hybiak also struggled in the first heat, nearly being taken into the wall
twice while trying to work through traffic. After
moving into second place, he was bumped out of the groove and fell back to fourth. A late race pass, moved him into third place. He went on to win the second heat race, qualifying
him second for the main event. Despite
some changes, Cody struggled to get any speed in his feature event, only gaining two spots
to finish seventh. For
the night cap, Crew Chief Cody made some adjustments to allow Jeff to turn his kart
better. It took a few laps for Jeff to get a
handle on the kart, but he gradually began to close on the pole sitter, Dicky Dudd. Around lap 8, Jeff got underneath Dudd, who nearly
passed him back in the next corner. Dudd hung
on Jeff’s bumper for a few more laps before Jeff began to pull away. He
crossed the finish line well ahead of second place to claim his 12th career victory and
extend his points lead over second place Dudd. “Once
again, Cody’s adjustment was the reason I was able to win,” an exhausted driver
said afterwards. “The kart felt like it
wasn’t even touching the track. It was a
lot to hang onto, but it was obviously fast.” The
Hybiak brothers will be back in action in Tucson on Friday night before going back to
Phoenix the following week.
