2009 Season
The team started the season by failing to qualify in the Nationwide Series race at Nashville. Following that effort they concentrated on the Truck Series. Hackett Racing scored their first top twenty finish, an 18th place finish in the North Carolina Education Lottery 200. At the WinStar World Casino 400 they debuted their second truck, the #75, driven by Ryan Mathews. Later in the season at the Michigan 200, the #76 truck driven by Hackett led its first ever laps and was awarded the "Wix Lap Leader Award" for the race. The #76 also put up a 4th place practice run at Talladega Superspeedway in their final race of the season, however despite running most of the race in the top 15 a rear axle problem about halfway through the race ended the day early.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“When we reached the lake, about half past eight in the evening, it was still steadily raining, and harder than before; and, in that fresh, cool atmosphere, the hylodes were peeping and the toads ringing about the lake universally, as in the spring with us. It was as if the season had revolved backward two or three months, or I had arrived at the abode of perpetual spring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
