Hattori Racing Enterprises (HRE) driver Brett Moffitt scored another top-five finish in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East-West combination Pork Be Inspired! 150 at Iowa Speedway on Friday, August 3rd, and immediately followed it with a 9th place finish in his Nationwide Series debut on Saturday, August 4th, driving for RAB Racing with Brack Maggard (RAB).
The weekend’s events began on Friday with temperatures near 100 degrees, with the temperature of the track’s asphalt soaring, and with race teams searching for the right set up for the night’s race, which would be run under cooler conditions. 42 teams made the trip for the K&N Pro Series combination race, and the #11 HRE Aisin Toyota unloaded 3rd quickest to start the first practice session. As temperatures continued to rise, practice times slowed during the second session, and Moffitt posted the 8th quickest time.
Qualifying was scheduled for the hottest part of the afternoon, and points leader Brett Moffitt ran a lap of 24.211 seconds (130.106 mph) around the .875 mile banked asphalt oval. Moffitt’s qualifying lap was identical to the time he clocked during the first practice session, and it placed the #11 in the 6th position, with Moffitt starting on the outside of the 3rd row.

Brett Moffitt, driver of the Hattori Racing Enterprises (HRE) #11 AISIN Toyota Camry, powered to a strong second place finish on Saturday evening, July 21st, leading the way to the most successful team finish in the company’s existence, with both HRE cars coming home in the top five in the Jegs 150 at Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus, Ohio. At the end of the night, Moffitt had extended his 4 point lead in the championship standings to 22 points.
Crew Chief Dave McCarty and the team again brought a car with speed in it, and Moffitt clocked the fastest time in the first practice session at 14.441 seconds (83.014 mph) around the .333 mile semi-banked asphalt oval. The #11 team elected to work on race set up and did not make a mock pole run during the second practice session.
Going out fifteenth of the twenty-two entries in the qualifying order, Moffitt qualified the car in fifth position, starting from the inside of the third row, with a lap time of 14.335 seconds (83.627 mph).

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.
Raceway Park, a .52 mile asphalt oval, last played host to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 1988, so conquering the unfamiliar track conditions presented a challenge for all current series teams. 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.
