Hawkins Returns to Georgia to Try For Next Pro Cup Win
19-year-old Matt Hawkins has already left a pretty big impression on
the short track world after winning in his USAR Hooters Pro Cup debut.
What would be even more impressive is if the young driver could make it
two in a row. He will get his chance on Saturday, March 31st, at South
Georgia Motorsports Park.
He tuned-up with a win Saturday night in a 150-lap late model race at
Lanier National Speedway.
“I am really looking forward to racing at home,” said Hawkins. “But
it’s not really one of my favorite tracks. I think that we will be
good, though. I know that Mike (Garvey) has ran really good there in
the past when he ran, and hopefully we should have a similar set up
this year.”
In 2006 Matt made one start at the track while competing in select
events of the ASA Late Model South Series, and he brought home a
third-place finish in the race at South Georgia.
