Ray Hackett Racing is a NASCAR Nationwide Series team owned by Ray Hackett. RHR fields the No. 76 Eagle Convenience Store Ford F-150 for Donnie Neuenberger.
The team focused primarily on the NASCAR Nationwide Series to start the 2008 season. However late in the season they purchased the fleet of trucks from JTG Racing in order to pursue racing in the Camping World Truck Series.
Hackett Racing purchases and leases their engines from Roush/Yates.
The team raced in 2 events in the 2008 Season. The Lipton Tea 250 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, starting 43rd and finishing 35th and the Ford 200 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, starting 26th and finishing 34th after engine troubles. Ryan Hackett was the primary driver for both races.
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 No. 75, driven by Ryan Mathews. Later in the season at the Michigan 200, the No. 76 truck driven by Hackett led its first ever laps and was awarded the "Wix Lap Leader Award" for the race. The No. 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.
