James
Hylton
returned
to
Rockingham
Motor
Speedway
for
the
first
time
since
February
28,
1993
to
compete
in
the
ARCA
RE/MAX
Series
Carolina
500.
Hylton
damaged
the
car
during
practice
on
Friday,
sending
the
crew
into
overdrive
as
they
worked
to
repair
the
mangled
front
end.
Post-qualifying
repairs
forced
the
car
to
start
at
the
rear
of
the
50
car
field
for
the
Sunday
race.
"I
feel
like
I'm
at
the
controls
of a
rocket"
stated
Hylton
over
the
radio
as he
roared
into
38th
place
in
less
than
ten
laps.
"This
Ernie
Elliot
motor
was
the
strongest
motor
I've
had
in my
career"
stated
Hylton
"It
was
unbelievable".
However,
Hylton's
run
was
sidetracked
on
lap
10 as
he
slowed
to
avoid
the
spinning
car
of A
J
Henriksen
and
was
struck
from
behind
by
rookie
driver
Justin
Loftin.
Hylton
went
on to
complete
271
laps
of
the
312
lap
event
and
finished
28th.
