Colt Gilliam

#73

Colt races out of Rock Hill SC. He is running the Pro-Cup class at his home track of Hickory Motor Speedway. He started racing in Karts at Hanging Rock, in 1995.  He got his first win in the Purple Plate Class at Hanging Rock his Rookie year. Colt began racing because he loves to go fast.

In 1995 Colt won the Points Championship with 16 wins at Hanging Rock.      1999, 2000, and 2001 brought B F Goodrich Asphalt Bandolero Championships.   In 2000 he won the Race of State  Winners  at Atlanta GA.  All of this at the age of 12.

2002 brought a switch to the Pro-cup cars and a 6th place in the Points at the fabled Hickory Motor Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Colt is the competition, and the rush you get when you are ready to start a race.  Colt is proud of his finish at Hickory and driving and competing  in an adult class.

Dale Earnhardt is his racing hero.
