Bret Hamilton drives the #1st Modified Class car.  His home track is Virginia Motor Speedway but he can also be found racing at Potomac Speedway.  He lives in Powhatan, VA.

Team members helping Bret are:  Buddy Hicks, J D Ribblett.  Bret and Tina Hamilton are the car owners.

Bret started racing in 1987 in the Mini Stock Class at Southside Speedway because he grew up around racing in Iowa.  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights include 5 Asphalt Modified Championships, 4 Dirt Modified Championships, Thurston Spring Dirt Series Champion in '06, competed at 29 tracks with wins at 18 of them, 4 wins at Richmond International in Modified Class.

The thrill of racing for Bret is winning and traveling to new tracks, and seeing others win in a Hamilton Chassis.  His most exciting racing moment was winning at Richmond International and winning at Dublin Motor Speedway.  He's most proud of seeing Renee Weeks win her first Modified Feature in a Hamilton Chassis at Virginia Motor Speedway.

Bret's racing hero is Billy Thurston.

Of racing, Bret says, "There are great people in racing who become your family.  Bring your kids to the track!".
