From there, NHM competed in the Arena Nationals Outlaw Sprint Kart Series weekend of Jan. 1st at the Bojangles Coliseum. Recently Hoffman was spotted at Time Warner Cable Arena for the Charlotte Checkers Hockey “Race Night” where again they presented the “NEW” ride onsite, and Hoffman signed autographs with the likes of Joey Logano, Michael Waltrip, Mike Bliss, and many more. Currently Nick is running in the Winter Indoor Karting Series where they have completed 2 of 6 events, and Hoffman is leading points currently with 1 Win, and a solid 2nd place run, only to be beat by 2010 Chili Bowl Nationals Champion, Kevin Swindell. The relentless campaign isn’lettig up, with a Sunday test scheduled for January 31st at the Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, NC.
