Driver Cameron Hayley waits by his car before the K&N West Pro Series- Brainerd 125 race at the Brainerd International Raceway on May 26, 2012 Photo – Adam Bettcher/Getty Images
Cameron Hayley of Calgary, AB Canada will be heading over to Richmond Virginia for The NASCAR K&N East Pro Series race on Thursday, April 25th.
At just 16 years old Hayley normally competes full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro West Series but he says that’s just not enough! Hayley states:
“I want to get as much experience as possible so we thought the Richmond race is another one that we need to hit! I want to learn and know as many race tracks as I can”
When Hayley entered his first NASCAR K&N Pro race at 15-years-old he finished an astounding second. After his recent Daytona UNOH Battle At The Beach win, he finished second again in March at Phoenix! Can he keep up the winning pace? Time will tell.
Hayley’s racecars are transported cross-country and he says,
“I just can’t wait to race Richmond. There’s a lot of history there and we are expecting a huge entry list too. Some of the best in our series will be out there to try and win.”
The Team hopes to keep their momentum going! They haven’t raced since early March due to a break in the schedule. After winning Daytona and finishing Phoenix with a very strong second place they are hungry for more top finishes.
Hayley is racing for the Championship this year and he wants every advantage he can find. As one of NASCAR’s ‘Next 9’ drivers to watch, his goal is to move up NASCAR’s ladder into one of the national series in the next few years. He says getting more experience now will pay off later.
Cameron Hayley is our guest on Fan4Racing Fan2Fan NASCAR Talk this Monday, April 29th from 8 to 10pm ET. Fans can call 347-996-5176 for Q&As.
