ABOUT:
Matt has driven the #8 INEX US Legends Car at tracks across Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut since 2011. 

Previously Matt raced high performance karts for 10 years at Sugar Hill Speedway and Twin State Speedway. He is a 2-time division champion at SHS, with many poles and over a dozen wins under his belt. In addition to the two championships, Matt finished 2nd in the SHS points three times, and 3rd during two additional seasons.

Nichole has worked in marketing and public relations for many years. In addition to running the Hooligan Motorsports marketing efforts, she writes a successful pet lifestyle blog, Lapdog Creations. Nichole also coordinates all sponsor activities and events with the team, while being invaluable at the track keeping the car fast and the driver safe.

When not at the track, Matt and Nichole enjoy exploring new places, hiking, attending concerts, visiting local breweries & wineries for tastings, checking out new eateries, and spending time with their 3 rescued dogs.

The pair have been involved in dog rescue for several years, and you never know when you might find a foster pup in their home - or at the race track. They truly enjoy helping dogs find their forever homes, although have sometimes failed in letting them go... 2 of their 4-legged kids were "failed" fosters.
