I didn\u2019t know this race would be on my schedule at the beginning of the year, and Bryan Rodgers at Circle Track Warehouse prepares an awesome car to go run.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even more so, seeing all the throwback cars and vehicles in the HSR Series paddock across all series was really neat, and I can\u2019t wait to join them again for another race in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_452185\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-452185\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-452185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Matt Tifft 042724\" width=\"400\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-680x465.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-350x239.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-263x180.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-51x35.jpg 51w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-73x50.jpg 73w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-745x510.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-365x250.jpg 365w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-760x520.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724-800x547.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/Matt-Tifft-042724.jpg 912w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-452185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matt Tifft wheels the No. 39 during an HSR event at Road Atlanta. (Matt Tifft Racing Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On both Saturday and Sunday, Tifft competed in HSR\u2019s Group 8 featuring historic stock cars on the hilly 2.54-mile, 12-turn circuit in Braselton, Georgia. He drove a 2006 NASCAR Busch Series No. 39 Dodge Charger originally from the Team Penske stable in the SC\/B class, designed for Modern Era (1996-2006) NASCAR vehicles running limited specifications.<\/p>\n<p>In the first eight-lap race on Saturday, he came out on top in class among 14 SC\/B machines and finished second overall to fellow former Cup driver Joe Nemechek in the 33-car field. Nemechek was competing in the SC\/E class featuring HSR \u201cLegacy\u201d stock cars built beyond series specifications.<\/p>\n<p>With 30 Group 8 cars taking part in Sunday\u2019s eight-lapper, Tifft again claimed the class win in the 13-car SC\/B field and finished behind Nemechek in the overall rundown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting to victory lane was incredible, I definitely needed to knock off some of the rust early in the weekend with not racing on road courses in half a decade, but by day two I was pretty confident,&#8221; said an elated Tifft following his exciting weekend. &#8220;I\u2019m pretty sure I made my guys change everything in that car to give ourselves a shot at the win, and it\u2019s very satisfying to go out there and execute my part of the job for the team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Winning never comes easy, and you have to cherish those memories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tifft now turns his attention back to the Dirt Super Late Model ranks and his B&#8217;laster Products No. 57 entry this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matt Tifft climbed aboard the familiar confines of a stock car over the weekend and claimed two class wins in the Circle Track Warehouse No. 39 machine in the prestigious Historic Sportscar Racing Mitty at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.","protected":false},"author":21483,"featured_media":452183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ndms-widget-blocks_gb_metabox":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53,51],"tags":[921,1200],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Matt Tifft Wins Two HSR Races At Road Atlanta - SPEED SPORT<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Matt Tifft Wins Two HSR Races At Road Atlanta - SPEED SPORT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SPEED SPORT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-04-30T19:50:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-04-30T19:50:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/matt.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Staff Report\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Staff Report\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/\",\"name\":\"Matt Tifft Wins Two HSR Races At Road Atlanta - SPEED SPORT\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/matt.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-04-30T19:50:14+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-04-30T19:50:15+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/#\/schema\/person\/083dae192b61a0dd0a3da9df6d6fe04c\"},\"description\":\"Matt Tifft climbed aboard the familiar confines of a stock car over the weekend and claimed two class wins in the Circle Track Warehouse No. 39 machine in the prestigious Historic Sportscar Racing Mitty at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/sports-cars\/other-sports-cars\/matt-tifft-wins-two-hsr-races-at-road-atlanta\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/matt.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.speedsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/04\/30\/matt.png\",\"width\":900,\"height\":500,\"caption\":\"Matt Tifft Picks Up Pair of Wins at HSR Mitty.
