 His career highlight was leading every lap in 1985...."something about winning with your own stuff......just me and Daddy!

Hugh won the 2007 Super Street class Championship at Dublin driving for Louis "Butch"Hill from Conway, SC.

The thrill of racing for Hugh is "Nothing like it. I feel like I can drive a race car and just love driving a race car!".  His greatest racing thrill was getting in the car the first time and his uncle hooking him up!  His greatest racing moment was in the early 90's coming in 3rd at Fayetteville in the Late Model and winning the Sportsmanship Trophy!

Hugh's racing hero is Ed Ray!

Hugh says, "One thing has always stood out to me...Other Dad's would lecture......my Dad would slap me on the back and say "win or lose, we will always go home friends".  I still think about that every time I race!
