Sam Hafertepe Jr. has established himself as one of the top sprint car racers in the world. The 25 year old has earned feature wins with The All Star Circuit of Champions, Interstate Racing Association and ASCS National Tour.
Hafertepe is also one of the top competitors with The World of Outlaws and is a force to be reckoned with anywhere that he competes.
Sam's career began in go-karts where he was quite successful before moving on to 360 sprint cars with The American Sprint Car Series. Hafertepe earned the 2006 ASCS Sooner Region Championship and also made selected starts with ARCA before going on the road full time with The World of Outlaws in 2007.
The Sunnyvale, Texas racer has been racing full-time with The Outlaws ever since and has established himself as one of the top qualifiers in all of sprint car racing and as an aggressive, young racer on a tour filled with veterans.
The 2011 season will see a departure from The Outlaw tour as Sam has planned an ambitious 100+ race schedule. Look for Sam and The Plumbfast Racing Team to pull into a track near you!
