We're excited to welcome our newest Race to Read driver, Hayden Morris of HRG Racing!
Hayden is no stranger to the Race to Read program, he's been part of our family since 2016, when he was turning laps on the Thunder Road Kids Champ Karts. Now, he's heading into his sophomore year competing in the Street Stock division at Thunder Road International Speedbowl, bringing that same passion and determination to a bigger stage.
When he's not on the track, Hayden stays just as busy in the classroom. As a Senior at Spaulding High School, he's also taking college classes at Norwich University, proving that success takes dedication both on and off the track.
Welcome to the driver lineup, Hayden we're proud to have you represent Race to Read!
