About Hawn Brothers Racing
A family-built racing organization growing into a nonprofit team platform for young and local drivers.
Why HBR Exists
Hawn Brothers Racing is a family-built racing organization growing into a nonprofit team platform for young and local drivers.
HBR exists to help drivers learn responsibility, confidence, teamwork, mechanical awareness, sponsor representation, and race-day discipline through organized motorsports.
Local racing is more than speed — it's a training ground for life skills. HBR is building a program that uses racing as a vehicle for youth development, family connection, and community engagement.
Addison, the 7H, and the Beginning
HBR launched with Addison Hawn and the 7H — a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix built for HSRA high school racing. The Hawn family built the program from the ground up: the car, the crew, the logistics, and the vision.
From the first day the 7H was race-prepped to the first lap at the track, the program has been about more than winning. It's about building Addison as a driver, a competitor, and a young person learning what it means to represent a team and a community.
The decision to structure HBR as a nonprofit from the beginning wasn't accidental. The founders knew this wasn't going to stay small — and they wanted to build it right.
Start with Addison and the 7H
Launch the racing program with a single driver and a single car — Addison Hawn and the 7H — and do it right.
Build the Infrastructure
Create the systems, community, and nonprofit structure that can support growth from day one.
Grow the Roster
Add more drivers, more cars, and more programs as funding and community support grows.
Expand the Impact
Build into a full community racing organization with driver development programs, outreach, and regional presence.
More Than Racing
HBR uses motorsports as a platform to develop the whole person — not just the driver.
Confidence
Racing builds unshakeable confidence. Learning to control a car, manage pressure, and compete at pace translates everywhere.
Responsibility
Drivers learn to care for equipment, honor commitments to sponsors and team, and be accountable for performance.
Mechanical Awareness
HBR drivers learn about their cars — how they work, how to communicate issues, and what it takes to keep them racing.
Teamwork
No driver wins alone. The pit crew, family, sponsors, and community are all part of the team.
Sponsor Representation
Young drivers learn to represent sponsors with professionalism — a skill that carries well beyond motorsports.
Safety & Discipline
Safety-first culture and race-day discipline are core to the HBR program at every level.
Nonprofit Racing Vision
HBR is being built to last — a nonprofit structure that can grow, receive grants, attract sponsors, and support drivers who couldn't access racing any other way.
The nonprofit structure isn't just paperwork — it's a commitment. HBR is being built to serve the racing community in a sustainable, transparent, and growth-oriented way.
That means being eligible for grants and donations, being accountable to the community, and always being focused on the mission: youth development through motorsports.
As the organization grows, the vision includes mentorship programs, scholarship opportunities for drivers, community racing clinics, and partnerships with local businesses and schools.
