Wild Bill Driver of Week 0328
Bill Daugherty, aka “Wild Bill,” has been racing for much of his life. He graduated from Go Karts to open wheel modified in 1981 and won Rookie of the Year in 1993 at Lake City. He drives Cruiser Class (425 top weight) 01. His cart is powered by a Hicken Motor, built by David Hicken, one of the owners of Callahan Speedway. Hicken motors are well sought after in the Go Kart racing field.
He later moved from open wheel modified to a sprint car, best described as a “wing on top,” which he drove for three years. He decided to return to Go Karts, partially because of expense, when Callahan Speedway opened. His wife, Rene, is his crew chief. They married about the time he started racing. They just celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary on February 1. They have a son, 14 year old Jacob, a 26 year old daughter, Kambria, and two grandsons.
When he’s not facing, Bill drives truck for RBJ Timber.
