Daytona Beach, FL (February 20, 2015) - Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender, Cameron Hayley, made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) debut at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) on Friday night in the NextEra Energy Resources 250. Showing speed and craft in both of the series' practice sessions on Thursday afternoon, the 18-year-old driver posted the second fastest time in final NCWTS practice and followed that up by posting the second fastest time in the first round of NASCAR's unique three-group, knockout pole qualifying on Fridayafternoon. Advancing to round two, Hayley would post the 14th fastest time overall, locking the Canadian native in to the seventh row for Friday night's 100-lap race. The newly named ThorSport Racing driver was able to advance to the 11th position by lap five, and maintained his position for the next 10 circuits. When the race's first caution flag was displayed at lap 15 for a 10-truck pile-up in Turn 1, crew chief Jeff Hensley brought the No. 13 Cabinets by Hayley Toyota Tundra to pit road for right side tires and fuel. When racing resumed on lap 19, the rookie was scored 11th. Hayley would run as high as sixth over the next 30 circuits before being getting caught up in the "Big One," at the race's half-way mark at lap 50. Extensive damage to the No. 13 ThorSport Racing machine would sideline the rookie for the remainder of the event, and ultimately credit him with a 23rd-place finish behind race winner, Tyler Reddick.
Quote: "I tried to go to the outside and just couldn't get there and the next thing I knew, I was sideways. I learned a ton tonight, especially about the draft; my spotter Eddie D'Hondt helped me a lot. I don't know what to say other than this Cabinet's by Hayley Toyota Tundra was amazing tonight and I believe we had a really good shot to win it, but it just didn't work out for us."

Hayley, who made his series debut in 2014 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ont., Canada, and has three series starts to his resume, will compete for Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors this season. “It’s always been a dream of mine to run in one of NASCAR’s top three series,” said Cameron Hayley, driver of the No. 13 Toyota Tundra. “I was able to get my feet wet last year running a few races, but to be able to say I’m running full-time this year is really a chance to live out my dream.” “I’ll make the move to Sandusky later this year so I can be in the shop every day, helping the guys, and really getting to know these trucks,” continued Hayley. “I want to take full advantage of everything ThorSport Racing has to offer, soaking everything in this season. Duke and Rhonda Thorson have built a championship-winning team with great resources and equipment and it’s an honor to be a part of their organization.” The 18-year-old driver began his racing career in karts at the age of seven and debuted in NASCAR by running a partial K&N Pro Series West schedule in 2011. Hayley, the youngest driver ever to compete in the K&N West series, posted top-five finishes in two of his four starts, including an impressive second-place finish in his series debut at Montana Raceway Park in Kalispell. His success led to a full-time K&N Series West schedule in 2012, where he posted five top-five and nine top-10 finishes. Hayley was also named to NASCAR’s Next class in 2012, a select group chosen by the sanctioning body that spotlights NASCAR’s rising stars. Hayley started his 2013 season with a bang, winning the UNOH “Battle at the Beach East vs. West Shootout” at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and capped off his second full-time season in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West with one win, six poles and a second-place finish in the driver point standings. In 2014, Hayley competed full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East collecting one pole, and leading 247 laps en route to seven top-five and nine top-10 finishes. The Calgary, Alta., native went on to make three NCWTS starts in 2014, amassing a career-best second-place starting position at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon and amassing two top-10 finishes. “Cameron has seen success at an early age and has been a great student of the sport,” said team owner, Duke Thorson. “He has a wealth of natural talent, a great personality and we believe he’s the complete package. By making the move to live in Sandusky full-time, he’s proven that he’s fully vested in this team and the opportunity he’s been given. Being at the shop every day, learning these trucks and building a foundation with his team is what will set him apart from the competition. Everyone at ThorSport Racing is anxious to see him evolve on the race track this season.” Hayley’s 2015 campaign will be led by Xfinity Series championship-winning crew chief, Jeff Hensley. As an 11-year veteran of the NCWTS, Hensley has 260 series starts to his credit including 13 wins, 31 poles, 72 top-five and 137 top-10 finishes. As the longest tenured team in the NCWTS garage, ThorSport Racing will kick off its 20th season of competition in the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona (Fla.)

FORT WORTH (November 1, 2014) - The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) made its second and final stop of the 2014 season on Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway for the WinStar Word Casino & Resort 350. Cameron Hayley and his No. 30 Cabinets by Hayley team looked for a solid finish in his first-career start on a mile-and-a-half oval. After two solid practice sessions on Thursday afternoon, Hayley went out on Friday and earned a top-five starting spot during NASCAR's knockout qualifying. After battling a loose race truck during the middle portion of the race and surviving a green/white/checkered finish, Hayley crossed the finish line in the 10th position. Following the drop of the green flag, Hayley settled into the top 10, and by lap 14, the 19-year-old radioed to crew chief Shannon Rursch that his Cabinets by Hayley Silverado was loose, especially in Turns 3 and 4. Hayley continued to maintain his position inside the top 15 until the first caution of the night came out on lap 23. During the caution, Rursch called Hayley down pit road for four tires, fuel and wholesale adjustments to his Silverado. After a lighting-quick pit stop, Hayley picked up two spots and restarted 14th on lap 28. Happy with his truck, Hayley made a green-flag pit stop on lap 69 and was scored in the 13th position when the second caution flag waved on lap 77. Playing strategy, Rursch once again called Hayley down pit road for four fresh Goodyear tires and fuel. Restarting 16th on lap 82, Hayley wasted no time picking off competitors as he worked his way back inside the top 10. Following another lighting-quick pit stop during the third caution, Hayley picked up three spots and restarted seventh on lap 102. Remaining inside the top 10 for the remaining portion of the race, Hayley survived two more cautions and a green/white/checkered finish before brining home a solid 10th-place finish in his mile-and-a-half debut Cameron Hayley on his run at Texas: "Wow, what a blast that was. I couldn't be more proud of the guys that worked on the No. 30 Cabinets by Hayley Silverado all week. I wasn't really sure what to expect as I made my first laps around a mile-and-half track, but Shannon and the guys had the truck really dialed in right off the hauler. I can't thank these guys enough for giving me this opportunity and hopefully we can build on this finish moving forward." More Articles... |
