Brett Moffitt, driver of the #11 Hattori Racing Enterprises (HRE) Don Valley North Toyota Camry, won everything there was to win at the Samuel 150 at CNB Bank Raceway Park in Clearfield, PA on Saturday, July 14th.

The #11 HRE Toyota team unloaded a fast car and set the pace during the first practice session. Crew Chief Dave McCarty elected to work on race set up, rather than making a mock pole run, so Moffitt’s practice times in the second session were somewhat slower than the first session times.
