Dundalk driver Hoey wins third title in a row


Logan Hoey winning every heat and both finals to claim title number three in style
IRX Junior champion Logan Hoey had one hand on the trophy already, and a steady weekend would give him title number three in a row.
Academy driver Kori Bagnall was the star of the day on Saturday as he was pushing the Dundalk native Hoey all the way.
In the final, he only finished less than half a second at the line and will be one to watch next season.
Hoey had it easier on the Sunday and once again showed why he had made it three in a row despite a couple of slides during the day that could have ended his run.
He has been fast and consistent all year, and even halfway through the season, barring mechanical failure, it was looking like it was his title to lose.
Still, he had to go out and do the business, which he did by winning every heat and both finals to claim title number three in style.
Speaking, the laid back Louth man afterwards gave his review of the weekend. He said, "I am really happy to make it three in a row.
It was really tight Saturday, and I survived some big slides to take the win.
“Sunday was a bit easier, but I still had to fight for it. Thanks to all my sponsors and dad for all his hard work during the year."
The next Rallycross meeting is the big one with the FIA European Championship coming to town on July 18th and 19th, where the locals will take on their European counterparts for the first time in 30 years.
