HATCHER RACING

Hatcher Racing began more than 45 years ago when Bill Hatcher stepped behind the wheel of his cherry red 1966 SS Chevelle and challenged a friend to a race down Main Street. From that point, he was hooked and began racing competitively in the NHRA.

Fast-forward to the present, Hatcher Racing is going strong with two competitive race cars, a Competition Eliminator dragster driven by Bill’s son, Will Hatcher, and a Stock Eliminator Camaro driven by Bill. In 2010, Will finished #2 in NHRA Division Five Competition Eliminator points, and #11 in nationwide points. In 2011, Bill accomplished a “Bucket List” dream when he raced and beat racing legend “Big Daddy” Don Garlits.



Hatcher Racing truly is a family affair. Bill and his wife, Marcia, decided early on that if racing was going to be a part of this family, then every member of the family would be a part of racing. Will and his older sister, Jessica, grew up spending countless weekends at the track, and still do. Will and his wife, Adriane, stay busy training Hatcher Racing’s newest crewmembers, William Henry Hatcher IV (“Liam” for short) and his little sister, Cora ("Princess" for short).
