“I started the season off with great momentum, and am not discouraged by the unfortunate happenings from round two and three of the National Hare and Hound series. It’s racing, and while I am confident in my ability to control the things I can, sometimes we (professionals racers) come across things we cannot control. I am looking forward to this weekend’s event, and carrying my momentum into the next National.” Argubright had said after he had walked away from the Hare and Hound series with numerous injuries.
Well, Jacob Argubright has certainly made a powerful comeback since then, turning things around during the race. The outcome may have been unexpected to some, as Skyler Howles, who was leading in points after the first round, had finished outside of the top 10. Regardless, we would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincere congratulations to Argubright who had come out stronger in the face of adversity.
