Opening Night Scores Big For Humblet
Dominion Raceway open its first ever season last weekend and boy was it a day. From a two hour sign-in line to lights being cut off during an event. But H & H Motorsports and Morris Racing made the most of it. Chris started the event 4th after the top 6 were inverted and Jimmy was 5th. The event started slow for Chris as he fell back to 7th. But at the races only caution where Jimmy was sidelined. Chris took the "cone" on the restart putting him on the outside in 4th. At the restart he jumped to 3rd on the heels of 2nd, in the laps following he was able to over take 2nd and start working toward the 1st place car. Which had about a half a straightaway lead on the field. In 3 laps, Chris was able to cut that lead into and half a car length and in the next circuit over take the lead and not look back. Chris goes down in the history books as the first driver to win on the modified division at Dominion Raceway. In victory lane, Chris thanked his mom and dad for allowing him to run, Tommy Morris for everything he does and for the workhorse he built for his to run this season. Tony and Neil John Culley, GG, and the rest of the crew for all their hard work this season and tonight. "These are some of the best guys around and work their butt off for us!"
Humblets make the sweep the weekend
After starting on the pole, Chris was able to drive to his first ever win in the modified series. Holding of his father and other strong drivers. "It feels awesome to be standing here. It might only be 6 cars but the other 5 are some of the strongest out there" Humblet said in victory lane.

2015 Season Recap
2015 marked the 3rd season for driver Chris Humblet. His plan was to finish every race entered and learn as much as possible. Chris was able to do just that this season and score finishes no worse than 7th over than when sidelined with mechanical issues. Chris has said a highlight for his year was running tenths if not hundreds off his teammate and father, Jimmy all season. With the occasional finishes ahead of Jimmy. CHR would like to think Great Bridge Muffler and Brake, Tommy's Racing Engines, and Tony Culley Racecars for all their support in the 2015 season.

South Boston Speedway 3/21
After Friday’s practice was cancelled due to wet track conditions, Saturday’s events were delay to allow track drying. This didn’t stop Chris, after two rounds of practice he was 6th fastest. After being late to lineup for qualifying, Chris’s best lap slated him to start in 9th position. Starting the race next to teammate and father Jimmy Humblet, Chris had the plan to follow him to the front. The race was delayed by two cautions. As the race continued, Chris was able to drive through the field to a 5th place finish. At the end of the race Chris and the entire team were very excited with the 5th place finish.
Teammate Jimmy had troubles during qualifying that placed him 10th in the lineup after being the fastest all day. This didn’t slow Jimmy or the team down. They made a few changes and sat ready for the start. Jimmy wasted to time getting to the front when he over took the lead on lap 22 and never looked back.
The teams would like to give a big thanks to car builder Tony Culley. His setup changes helped move them to the front!
Both teams will be ready to get back to action again at South Boston on April 11th.
