Mike Hamby Driver Bio
Dr. Michael S. Hamby Sr. (Mike) was born on January 6, 1947 in Rome, Georgia. He moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 1948 where he lived until his graduation from NC State University with a bachelor’s degree in Textile Technology. Dr. Hamby is currently President of Hamby Textile Research Laboratories, Inc. in Garner, North Carolina. During his high school days, he spent time drag racing in Greensboro and at other local tracks. He also spent time watching a then young Richard Petty run the track at the NC
Fairgrounds.
Hamby obtained experience at the track in Redbank, Tennessee while working during the summers in a textile mill in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He took up racing again during his ten years in Chicago from 1972 to 1982 as he ran stock class car for Harlem & Division Standard on Santa Fe and Sycamore Speedways. His racing hobby took a backseat to making a living but once again, he rekindled the burning desire to drive racecars after participating in the Richard Petty Driving Experience in December 1994.
Since 1994, Hamby has logged hundreds of laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway, North Carolina Motor Speedway (Rockingham), Orlando Speedway, New Smyrna Daytona Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Wake County Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Phoenix Arizona Speedway, Dover Speedway and California Motor Speedway. He has trained with Berry Graham, Buck Baker, Buddy Baker, Randy Baker, Matt Mullins and Andy Hillenburg.
