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.
