Andy Hillenburg

Andrew Miles Hillenburg (born April 30, 1963) is an American former professional stock car racing driver and current team owner and track owner. His race team, Fast Track Racing, fields multiple cars in the ARCA Menards Series and formerly fielded entries in the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He is credited with reviving the North Carolina Speedway, now known as Rockingham Speedway, after the track lost its NASCAR dates starting in 2005.

Hillenburg was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. He began his racing career at age eleven when he competed in the Indianapolis soap box derby.[citation needed]

Hillenburg won the state quarter midget championships in 1975–1979. Hillenburg won the ARCA Super Car Series Championship in 1995, with three time ARCA Champion Bob Dotter as crew chief. He won the 1995 and 1997 Daytona ARCA 200, the premiere event in the series.

Hillenburg served as a test driver for the International Race of Champions and Team Racing Auto Circuit series. He competed in the 2000 Indianapolis 500, finishing 28th, and has sixteen Winston Cup starts nine Busch Series starts and four in the Craftsman Truck Series. His best finish in NASCAR was a third-place finish at the 1999 NAPA Auto Parts 300, where he drove the No. 18 MBNA Pontiac Grand Prix for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Hillenburg operates the Fast Track High Performance Driving School and owns a team that competes ARCA Menards Series, Fast Track High Performance Racing (usually just known as Fast Track Racing or Fast Track Racing Enterprises). They currently field multiple entries with the Nos. 01, 9, 10, 11, and 12 cars.

Fast Track also formerly fielded entries in NASCAR's top three series. Most notably, they fielded the No. 47 and 48 teams in the NASCAR Truck Series between 2007 and 2010. He previously had fielded a No. 10 truck in two races in 2003 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

In the NASCAR Busch Series (now Xfinity), Hillenburg entered one race in both 1992 and 1993 in his car, the No. 42, before running a part-time schedule of six races in 1994, although he only qualified for one of those six races. His team did not return until 1997, where he entered his own No. 25 car at Dover. This was his last attempt as a car owner in that series.

Besides two races in 1992, Fast Track's only Cup Series attempt came in the 2007 Daytona 500, with them entering the No. 71 Ford driven by Frank Kimmel in the 2007 Daytona 500, but the entry did not make the field.
