Hannah Newhouse Racing

Hannah’s story is one of adventure and dedication. She came into this world on February 4, 1997, and has been tearing toward the finish line ever since. Speed, adrenaline and courage are swirled together in the DNA of this amazing young woman.

It’s no surprise that Hannah’s heart burns to race, and to win. Her father, John, was raised racing go-karts and dirt bikes, and passed that passion on to his firstborn. She, too, loved racing go karts as a child and still enjoys it! John would later go on to race cars and trucks, making tracks for Hannah to follow. Most teenage girls are content to pursue social interests or talents that emphasize what girls “should” do. Hannah blows through every stereotype and limitation placed before her. She just isn’t interested in fitting anyone’s mold. She is well read, intelligent, talented and funny. She doesn’t take herself or others too seriously. She sets her expectations of herself high and strives every day to reach them. She has accomplished so much in such a short span of time, and in ways most people would prefer to sit in the stands and watch…not Hannah. She’s front and center, revving her engine at the line with her eye on the prize all the time.

She has developed many passions and talents along the way. Hannah loves to write, paint and draw. She loves all types of sports, is an avid snowboarder and a former basketball player. She is currently a cheerleader at her High School. She isn’t just content to fly around the race track; she has to fly up in the air, too! Her sweet and outgoing nature has won many friends to look on and support her as she races toward her dream.

Although Hannah will try anything new and overcome any challenge placed in front of her, racing has always remained her first and foremost love. When she was 13, she began racing trucks in the Intermountain Pro Truck Series and found that she loved it. The next year she was awarded Rookie of the Year and finshed 4th in points. 86 miles an hour is quite an accomplishment for a young woman who didn’t yet have a driver’s license. She later challenged the Rocky Mountain Raceway, seeking to pass the competency and skill tests to be allowed to race. Drivers usually have to be 16 to use the track, but Hannah passed the test with flying colors and became the first 14 year old to race on the track. Another example of Hannah using her talent and skill to simply blaze past a limitation set in her way.

Hannah’s talents and interests are wide and varied, but her passion for racing surpasses all other areas of her life. She wants more than anything to be a professional driver someday, and is spending every minute and ounce of determination to make that happen. Hannah was picked up by Thompson Motorsports for sponsorship. The benefits include a custom-built car built especially for Hannah and media exposure, support and sponsorship. This speaks loudly about her talent, passion and drive to have won the support of a professional company at such a young age. Having sponsorship will allow Hannah the time and resources that she needs. She will be able to run under the team's name and along with it the satisfaction of taking her dream to the next level on the very track that gave birth to it.

This awe-inspiring young woman embodies courage, drive, dedication and commitment to making her dream a reality. She will race her way into the ranks of the elite and famous one day…and she’s getting closer to that dream, one left turn at a time!
