Remembering Charlie Hose

/in /by

The Hagerstown Speedway staff has lost one of their own. Chances are high when you passed through the pit exit in turn one, you passed Charlie Hose.

Best known as his nickname “Pig”, Hose was a corner flag man, officiating at Hagerstown Speedway since 1980. His presence at Hagerstown Speedway will be surely missed.

Hose was 77 years old.

All of us at Hagerstown Speedway extend our deepest condolences to his family.

Remembering Nathan Durboraw

With a heavy heart, Hagerstown Speedway sends its sincerest sympathies to the family, friends, and fans on the passing of longtime racer and speedway supporter Nathan Durboraw after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 63 years old.

The Hagerstown, Maryland veteran began his racing career in 1978 and won his final feature at Hagerstown in 2009.

Durboraw is one of the winningest Limited Late Model and Super Late Model drivers in Hagerstown Speedway history. His record stands at third overall on the all-time win list, recording 110 total feature wins between both divisions.

He was an 11-time Hagerstown Speedway track champion, winning LLM titles in 1979, 1986-87, and SLM titles in 1988, 1991-93, 1995-96, 2002, and 2005. Durboraw is the leader in total of track championships won.

He will be missed by his family, friends, and fans. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them
