The weekend started out looking pretty good for the #35 miles Chevrolet, action grafix, J and S motorsports, Ksw remodeling machine. Jimmy Started out by winning his heat in and easy fashion at Jacksonville. The car did not look so well as it would fall back in the dash. Jimmy started 1st and feel back to 3rd. In the A main it was a different story as the car worked the 1/4 mile track from top to bottom applying pressure to leader Joey Moughan lap after lap. The potent #35 would try to slide the #8h two times but would be unsuccessful both times. That would not stop Jimmy as they hit lap traffic Joey went low and Jimmy went high around a lap car. In the process Jimmy would make contact with the back stretch wall breaking both rear shock pins with 6 laps to go. That would cause the #35 not to finish. After the race Jimmy stated that he flat out messed up and judged the lap car wrong. He later stated that he was happy about the night, we finally have something to work with here and he is looking forward to next week.

On the second restart “The High Side Hustler” made the right decision as he hustled around the top to take the lead coming off turn 2. The popular #35 had a couple close encounters while slicing through lapped traffic but Jimmy used his skills to over come the lapped machines on the raceway.  Hurley would drive an impressive 25 laps riding the heavy cushion & picked up his 4^th A-main win of the 2009 season.

At the drop of the green the 25 year old Springfield, IL native knew he had a car to compete with & got started working on the 2^nd & 3^rd place runners. The High Side Hustler used the high groove all night to chase down the leaders & get by the lapped traffic. Hurley would have enough charge to get into the 2^nd position & give the leader a run for his money on the last couple laps. He tried to make a slide stick on the last lap but wasn’t able to get the job done & settled for a second place finish at the drop of the checkered flag.

The caution flag flew 5 laps into the A-main & the hustler knew something was wrong with the car & was frantically waiving for the crew to look at the front of the car.

Jimmy told the crew when they got to the car that he didn’t have brakes & the problem was discovered the right front brake rotor was broken off. Hurley had the car pushed off during the red flag and “said that the car felt good before loosing brakes & felt he had a strong chance at getting his 2^nd feature win of the year, really disappointing having to pull off the track while running a strong 2^nd.” The next night out at Quincy Raceway the bad luck from Saturday followed the team drawing the #48 pill making them go out last for qualifying.

The day began with having problems before leaving shop getting the #35 to fire. Once the crew worked out a few kinks they got on the road late causing them to miss the hot lap session. Jimmy would line up 3^rd row outside of is heat race only to pull off during the first lap with steering failure. The crew got started working on it right away. The feature came around & the #35 Action Graphics, Miles Chevrolet, Maxim Chassis started on the outside of row 9. Hurley would start back from the rest of the field to test the car out & see if they solved there steering nightmare. He quickly realized the issue wasn’t completely fixed but wanted to stay out & see how the new car handled. Hurley hustled the #35 around for 15 circuits slowly picking up spots. On lap 15 after a few cautions the steering was a bigger beast then he could handle & pulled off. The 25 year old Springfield, Il Native Hurley said the car felt great other then the steering. He is real pleased with the new car & not having time to setup the car & not having been out on the track before the feature, was real happy with the handling of the potent #35. Jimmy will be back in racing action next Saturday at Farmington, MO.
