The 2007 season was a roller coaster for Hurley and
team. Hurley’s crew was affected by an out of control mishap of another

The team fired back throughout the season by keeping
their composure and focusing on pushing the popular #35 to the front of each
event. For their efforts, Hurley brought home two victories in Midwest All
Star action and four other wins on the season. “We are looking to rebound from the things that
happened last year and really focus on winning a championship,” Hurley
commented. “It’s been said by guys like Schatz and Saldana that to win the

“We would like to qualify better this year. That was one of the things we
struggled with in 2007. We are going to take our notes from last year and
figure out the best way to make them work even better for us this year.”
“The team and I want to hit more races this year. The
combined rules with the All Star Circuit of Champions will help in that

will be hitting some of the other shows since there will not be any rule

Chevrolet and Action Graphics. Hurley has announced that he still has
sponsorship opportunities available in the form of primary and associate
sponsors. Additionally, he will gain assistance with his program from
Hoosier Racing Tires, Velocity Wings, and Pro Shocks. On a personal note, he is joined at many of the events
by his fiancé, parents, and many close relatives. “They have always
supported me in everything I have done with racing. They are my biggest
fans,” he added.
