ENNIS, Texas (October 19, 2011) - B1 Racing Pro Extreme driver Josh Hernandez, the winningest Pro Mod driver in history, is anxious to add two more wins to his heavyweight resume this weekend in the ADRL Battle for the Belts and the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals VII at Texas Motorplex. In the past two seasons, Hernandez has been to the championship round in the Battle for the Belts, both times taking runner-up honors. This time, the Texas native is planning to close the season with a one-two knockout punch.
"It's two races for one this weekend, and our goal as a team is to finish the season strong and show them what B1 Racing is all about," Hernandez said. "We brought on the new Corvette late in the season, and without the chance to fully test, we struggled a little to get her into shape. Now we're running great thanks to all of the hard work the whole team has put in."
At the last race, Hernandez had his best finish of the year, taking runner-up honors and jumping into contention in the BFTB. Because he is in eighth place, Hernandez will face off against No. 7 finisher, hard-running Jason Scruggs in the first round.
"Jason has been running well, and we have too, so it will be a great match for the fans," he said.
"We just have to take advantage of the position we're in now. These guys have been beating on this car so hard to get everything out of it that we can. The season has made us strive for something better. It is really cool to be a part of a team so focused.
"I'm pumped, I'm ready for it - ready to make this happen. Somebody ring the bell to let the battles begin," Hernandez said.
