Early Beginnings

Kamden Hibbitt's love for racing started at a young age. When he was just two years old, he saw his first NASCAR race on television and was instantly captivated. At the age of five, his parents formed the family-owned race team, Hibbitt Motorsports, and he began his racing career driving quarter-midgets. In just nine years, he won over 120 races and moved on to driving the big cars.Now, he represents Mazda and drives for Williams E-Sports in the Prodigy P3 Championship. This is a significant achievement as there are only three kids in the country and the world selected as Mazda scholarship drivers. Hibbitt is grateful for this opportunity and knows that it is a big deal.

Racing Across the Country

Hibbitt has traveled all over the country for racing. One of his favorite tracks to race on is Road Atlanta. He even has the ability to practice tracks he races on at home with the simulator he built himself. The simulator replicates the actual racetrack, allowing him to feel the seat vibrating and see what it looks like racing that track.This shows his dedication and commitment to his sport. He is constantly working on his skills and preparing for races.

The Physical Demands of Racing

Being a race car driver is not an easy task. It is physically demanding and can be dangerous. Hibbitt emphasizes the importance of being in great shape. Leg strength is something that most people overlook, as some race cars don't have power brakes like in street cars. To be able to handle the high speeds and intense driving, one needs to have the strength to apply 400 pounds of brake pressure.Hibbitt understands these challenges and is working hard to overcome them. His end goal is to be able to race professionally and make his lifelong dreams come true.
