After racking up a seventh-place showing in the second heat race and third-place finish in the Last Chance Showdown, Hartmann fired off from the 21st starting position in the 30-lap headliner.

After completing seven laps of the main event, Hartmann pulled off and was credited with a 23^rd-place finish.

The team came home to compete with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, June 6. Hartmann qualified 30th among the 33 cars on hand before finishing eighth in heat two and wrapping up the night with an eighth-place showing in the Last Chance Showdown.

After launching from 23rd in the 40-lap A main, Hartmann had advanced to 18^th before pulling off the track on lap 5. He was credited with a 22^nd place finish.

“It was a fun week for sure,” Hartmann said. “We didn’t get results we were shooting for but learned a lot. I’m excited to get back in the seat this weekend for two nights of racing.”

Hartmann is set to compete with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association this Friday, June 12 at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis. On Saturday, June 13, Hartmann is set to head to Shawano Speedway in Shawano, Wis. with the IRA.
