Tim Hartman, Jr. has traveled many miles so far in the 2014 racing season. The Florida Institute of Technology student spent the first few weeks of the season down in the sunshine state continuing his education. Once classes were dismissed he migrated back home and jumped back into the familiar number 22jr Sportsman at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway.

This past Friday night the Niskayuna 21 year old made his trip complete by visiting victory lane at the Great Race Place. The win was worth $1,000 as it was a part of the popular series within a series known as the Featherfoot Warrior Series.

Hartman didn’t just pick up the win; he did so in thrilling fashion. Hartman and fellow second generation driver Scott Duell battled hard for most of the race with Hartman pulling off the last corner, last lap pass for the win.

“Oh my God, I can open my eyes now,” an excited Hartman told track announcer Mike Warren. “Scott ran an incredible race. Those last two laps I made a last ditch effort knowing time was running out.”

With the win Hartman moves into the sixth position in the Featherfoot Warrior Series standings. Cody Bleau is the series point’s leader. The next series event will hit the four tenths of a mile oval on Friday July 25th. The series concludes on August 22nd.
