An event filled may kicks off at Hickory Motor Speedway

The month of may is going to be a busy one for all of us at Mitigatorinc.com. I have posted a list of events at the bottom of this blog, but the hectic month kicked off this past weekend at Hickory Motor speedway with the Wix Filters 250. We had trouble getting the live webcast up and running this past weekend, and for that we do apologize. We were able to do live twitter updates from the event. Make sure your following us on twitter throughout the month of May as we are going to have some awesome things happening throughout the month.

As far as the race goes, the Mitigator Ford Fusion has been on a tear the last two race weekends finishing 3rd and 2nd respectively. But Hickory was another story, We struggled in practice and during the race we just couldn’t get the breaks we needed to bring home a top five finish. It was disappointing but we fought back and brought home a tenth place finish. The Mitigator Ford now sits third in points heading into the race at Rockingham Speedway on May 15th.

Like I said before May is going to be busy, so if you are going to be anywhere near these future events come by and introduce yourself. The goal is to do a live webcast from each of these events.

The momentum continues to roll for the Mitigator Ford Fusion after a 2nd place effort this past saturday. The 2nd place finishes pushes us up into 2nd place in points for the USAR Pro Cup series. The track was a tough one to get a hold of, but the Gibson Motorsports crew did a great job of choosing the right pit strategy and came home with a 2nd straight top 5 finish. We were able to get some amazing videos throughout the day, which are going to be on our youtube page, so make sure you subscribe so you can catch all of the racing action.

The Live webcast from the track was a overwhelming success. We had over 1000 people log on to the broadcast throughout the day! At the end o the race over 600 people were logged on! There are going to be more live webcasts like this throughout the year. We are going to have the next one at Hickory Motor Speedway on May 1st. However, later in May we have a big event planned at the 2010 off-shore powerboat association’s season opener. We will not only be showcasing the races from the opener, but we will also be showing the benefits of using mitigator in the harsh conditions that the boat racers experience.
