Hard work, dedication and skill paid off for Hoglund Racing, as they won three special awards at the 2009 year end WSA Pro-Ice awards banquet. Through their presence at the track and bond as a family, the Hoglund’s earned the votes of their peers and became WSA’s newest “Family of the Year.” This title is held with high regards in the racing community and the Hoglund’s are proud to have won it.

In addition to being part of the Family of the Year, Max Hoglund took home two other awards of his own. The Most Improved Junior Driver of the Year award is given to the Junior driver who has shown the most progression throughout the season. After victories in each of the Junior classes he raced in, it was apparent that Hoglund’s racing skills were getting nothing but better. Although it is always an honor to win this award, it was a huge accomplishment this year as the Junior classes had more drivers than they had in any years previously. Of all the classes Hoglund raced in, he was most victorious in the Junior 600 Fan class. As a result of his finishes throughout the season, he also took home the title of Junior 600 Fan Points Champion.

Trevor Fontaine turned heads as he made his debut in the Semi-Pro Champ class this year on board the Hoglund Racing Champ 440. After multiple wins in the class, his peers voted him as the Most Improved Semi Pro Driver, a title Fontaine is proud to hold after competing at the Semi-Pro level for just one season.

Fontaine Racing joins up with Hoglund Racing for the 2009-2010 race season. With Max and Morgan Hoglund and Trevor and Lindsey Fontaine, the team will be racing in a total of 11 classes, including Juniors, Women's, Sprint and Pro. THey look forward to competing for a number of national titles and with top quality machines, a strong team of mechanics and great sponsors.

Trevor Fontaine, on board the Hoglund Racing Arctic Cat Champ sled, made his Champ debut late in the 2008-2009 season. In his first race in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, he finished second in Semi-Pro Champ. At his next race, in Forest Lake, Minnesota, Fontaine finished second in Semi-Pro Champ and third in Semi-Pro Open. The success continued at the following race in Garrison, Minnesota, where he won Semi-Pro Champ. In the final race of the season of Beauséjour, Manitoba, FOntaine finished third in both Semi-Pro Champ and Semi-Pro Open. Fontaine will race both classes in the upcoming 2009-2010 race season and looks forward to it with much anticipation.

The involvement of women racers in oval racing has been almost non-existent over the past few seasons. With many long time women racers leaving the sport and no new ones to replace them, there hasn't been a consistent group to race and therefore, no women's class. Change, however, has finally come. A women's class was reintroduced to the oval racing community this past 2008-2009 season as well as a new group of women racers. The Women's 380 class was introduced at the race in Forest Lake, Minnesota and had two competitors. The number of entries in the class at the following race in Garrison, Minnesota more than doubled, as eight women racers, ranging from age ten to late twenties, competed in the class. The class proved itself as a success and many women racers have already dedicated themselves to competing in the upcoming 2009-2010 season. The class follows the rules of the Junior I Stock 380 Fan class and any female from age 10 and on is welcome to enter the class. If you would like any more information about this class, please contact Lindsey Fontaine.
