In the end he stood as the Pro/Am Unlimited national champion and the runner-up in the Pro/Am Production class.

The precedence Hetrick set for the Pro/Am classes druing the season are truly amazing. The facts don’t lie and they are as follows: In 10 out of 11 events he set the fastest qualifying lap times in the divisions.
