2007 Season Review: The most prolific driver in DIRTcar’s Big-Block traveling show, Hearn continued his success last season garnering a tour-high seven wins in the Advance Auto Parts Modified Super DIRTcar Series en route to a record-tying sixth overall Hoosier Tire Mr. DIRTcar Championship. The Garden State ace used eight straight top-five finishes, including three feature wins, to grab his first points lead following a second straight triumph at Autodrome Drummond (Que.) on Canadian soil in mid-summer, yet still needed a final race rally to snag the coveted crown. A pair of Empire State victories at both Rolling Wheels Raceway Park and Lebanon Valley Speedway, and two more at Canandaigua (NY) and Grandview (PA) speedways were added along the way. He copped six preliminary heat race wins and led a tour-best 630 laps in 11 main events while posting 17 top-five feature race finishes in 32 starts, setting Integra Shocks fast time on four occasions. The 30-year open-wheel veteran scored a circuit-high 14 DIRTcar Big-Block Modified feature wins at seven tracks throughout the Northeast, taking a division-best seven checkered flags in DIRTcar 358-Modified competition.
