WINNING “THE LITTLE 500 “ 2016 ,ADDS ANOTHER CHAPTER TO THE STORIED HISTORY OF HOFFMAN RACING
Unless you have been to “The Little 500” , you can not understand how hard it is to win this very prestigious race. There are so many factors that come into play when you put 33 800+hp pavement sprint cars on a 1/4 mile high banked track for 500 laps. Traffic, pit stops (that only occur for this race), patience by the driver and concentration when you have no time to rest, reliable equipment that holds together for this grind, preparation and lady luck among many others. The pit stops were extremely impressive, with the crew turning out consecutive pit stops at under 20 seconds. That includes, fuel and 3 tires.




The sold out crowd saw one heck of a race, including a torrid battle between Kody, Santos, Steele and Coons. We are so grateful that we hooked up with Kody Swanson for this race. What an impressive young man(with Jordan and Trevor-an impressive family) and great race car driver. Kody, thank you bringing us this long sought after victory. I have never seen a happier Hoffman Team.




A big shout out to our VP of Operations, Dan Launderville. We all know that without his fabrication, mechanical and organizational skills, we would not make it to the race track , much less win.




It was very rewarding to see the number of fans and competitors sincerely offering congratulations to the Team. A depth breath and then preparation for The Eastern Storm. WAY TO GO HOFFMAN TEAM, SCRATCH THAT ONE OFF YOUR BUCKET LIST.

Very cool to see The Hoffmans pick up a win at the Little 500. Maybe they will use some of the winnings on a new fancy hauler
