BART HARTMAN DRIVER

He became a force to reckon with on the national trail, scoring wins with STARS, World of Outlaws, Hav-A-Tampa, Lucas Oil, UMP and MACS tours from Florida to Wisconsin and from Maryland to Texas.

In 2004 Hartman was selected as an inaugural member of the celebrated World of Outlaws “Dirty Dozen”, taking down five wins with the group while piloting the Rocket House Car.

A Crown Jewel win is the ambition of every dirt late model racer, and at Pennsboro’s final presentation of the Dirt Track World Championship back in 2001 Bart led all 100 circuits, holding off fellow Hall of Famer Scott Bloomquist to score the victory. Come 2009 he rode his familiar yellow numbered 75 to the top of the sport by capturing Eldora’s World 100. He also has late model racings biggest traditions including the North-South 100 at Florence, Kentucky, multiple Pittsburgher 100’s, Winchester, Virginia 200’s, along with the high paying Thunder in the Mountains event at the West Virginia Motor Speedway on his resume.

Now retired from competition, Bartman, as he was called, continues to operate the family-owned business, Hartman Truck Center back home. Bart Hartman’s talents and determination took him to the level of the very best and will now join them as a well-earned inductee in the Hall of Fame.
