West Championship in fourth place, which includ-
ed one win (at Arlington 1) and three total podiums.
"I'm super excited to be awarded the rookie of
the year," said Hammaker. "It means a lot to me
and I put in a lot of hard work this season. I'm
happy to see it pay off. It has been an awesome
rookie season and I can say that I've learned a lot.
Whether it was good or bad, I'll take my experience
into next year to fight for the championship."
