WHO IS OMR MOTOR SPORTS, INC.?
OMR MOTOR SPORTS, INC. is a corporation established by Dr. Michael S. Hamby, Sr. for the sole purpose of interacting with the motor sports community. OMR stands for “OLD MAN RACING” MOTOR SPORTS, INC.
WHO IS Dr. MICHAEL S. HAMBY, SR.?
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 bachelors 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. Mike 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, Mike has logged hundreds of laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway, North Carolina Motor Speedway (Rockingham), Orlando Speedway, New Symrna 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.
See driving resume for further details.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF OMR MOTOR SPORTS, INC.?
The purpose of OMR Motor Sports is to put all this practice and training to the test in the ARCA and NASCAR racing series as well as to obtain national exposure for a sponsor. Mike had his first ARCA start in The Pocono 200 on June 19, 1999 where he started 32nd and finished 22nd for a very successful race. He then ran in the NASCAR Winston West NAPA 100 race in Phoenix, Arizona. He drove the Midgley Racing 09 car. Mike qualified 26th, starting on the outside of the thirteenth row, and finished thirteenth. He was recognized as the highest finishing rookie. Mike has also driven the Midgley Racing 09 Craftsman Truck at Dover and Fontana.
WHAT DOES OMR MOTOR SPORTS STAND FOR?
OMR stands for "OLD MAN RACING"! Life can begin at fifty. You are as young as you look and feel, and Mike looks and feels great. Buck Baker gave Mike words of encouragement as Buck was driving around Rockingham in his Super Truck. Buck, who at the time was 79 years old, told Mike to "GO FOR IT," you can do it, and you are never too old. So here we are! Mike had his first ARCA start at the still young age of 52 and there are many more good years yet to go!
GOALS OF OMR MOTOR SPORTS, INC.:
The goal of OMR Motor Sports is to obtain one or more sponsors and race in the ARCA BONDO MAR-HYDE, NASCAR WINSTON WEST or NASCAR CRAFTSMAN TRUCK series in the coming years.
OMR MOTOR SPORTS, INC. NEEDS:
