Hi, My name is Jeff "HOTFOOT" Hooker.

    First, I want to thank you for checking out my website. I would not be where I am today without all of the support from my family, friends and fans.

    I would like to share a little history with you about how my racing career started. The first time I drove a race car was in 1989 to fill in for one of my brothers. It only took a couple of races and I was "hooked". I started racing full time in Rugby, ND in 1991. The class of cars that I raced was called Dakota Street Stocks. Let me tell you - money was tight in the early years, but I managed.

   In 1995 Wissota Street Stocks and Modifieds were added to the race program in Rugby. I got into the Wissota Street class and things started to click. I won the opening night feature and several more throughout the season in Rugby and also won the only night I ran in Jamestown, ND.

   Also in 1995 I met my future wife, Cim Berg. I left Rugby and moved to Minot where I took a managers position at Midwest Auto Glass (where I'm still happily employed). In 1996, I resumed my racing career at the Nodak Speedway in the Wissota Street class.

   In 1997 my daughter, Taylor Paige, was born. She now refers to herself as "Little Hotfoot" Hooker or "Little foot" for short. I enjoy taking her to races and she enjoys being in the pits with daddy. I also moved up to the IMCA Modified class that year and took home "Rookie of the Year" honors.

   In 2000 I won my first IMCA Modified feature at the season finale in Estevan, Sask. 

   2001 - 2003 were passed with at least one feature win per season. In 2004, I was able to run at several tracks with many 2nd place finishes but no wins.   

   In 2005 I won my first track championship at the Geographical Center Speedway in Rugby. We also finished 4th in season points at the Nodak Speedway. Also, my second child, Blake Jett was born. He is an absolute whirlwind and keeps his parents very busy. 

   In 2006 we shook down a new car and picked up a feature win and a runner-up points finish at the Geographical Center Speedway in Rugby. Also, we struggled to find consistency and luck in Minot and dropped to a 9th place points finish at the Nodak Speedway.

   We started 2007 in a new car again. We quickly got this car dialed in and ended the year with another win and another runner-up finish in points at the Geographical Center Speedway in Rugby. We also were much more competitive at Nodak and finished the year 5th in points. 

    2008 brings the 2nd year with this car and we hope to build off the strong runs we had late in the year in 2007 to contend for more wins and ultimately championships.

   Now fans, START YOUR ENGINES! See you at the track in 2008.
