Our Racing Roots

The Story of Josh Hawkins

Josh Hawkins grew up in Whitehouse, Texas, with a love for speed and competition running in his veins. Inspired by his dad, he started racing at 16 and switched to sprint cars at 20, carving out a name for himself with his fearless driving style. In 2013, Josh took on the challenge of racing midgets at the famous Chili Bowl Nationals, proving his talent on one of the biggest stages in the sport.

Over the years, Josh has competed in some of the most exciting events in sprint car racing, showing off his skill, determination, and ability to handle the unpredictable world of motorsports. But his passion doesn’t stop at the track.
