probably
is
the

facility
we
race"

"it's
natural
beauty
makes
this
one
of
my
favorite
stops
on
the
schedule".
The
23rd
place
finish
was
quite
an
improvement
over
the
40th
and
33rd
place
finishes
recorded
in
2005
by
Hylton

"I've
been
so
busy
enjoying
this
season,
that
the
reality
of
this
eing
my
last
season
didn't
really
hit
me
till
this
weekend
"
states
Hylton.
"Before
the
race
a
fan
came
up
to
me
and
said
that
he
had
came
to
the
track
just
to
watch
me
race
one
last
time
and
I
guess
that
kind
of
served
as
a
wake
up
call
that
I
am
actually
starting
to
wind
my
career
down".
The
season
has
been
termed
the
"White
Flag
Tour"
and
brings
one
of
the
most
impressive
careers
