Veteran driver, Robert Pressley, has been racing for over 20 years, during
which time he has earned multiple track championships and victories in just
about every type of car he has driven.
Pressley’s driving career began on the bullring in Asheville, North Carolina, where he recorded a string of six consecutive track championships in the 1980’s, along with over 150 wins in late model cars around the south. Between 1980 and 1988, Pressley raced in the Carolinas, winning and becoming a dominant driver. To accompany his Asheville Speedway records, Pressley also won the 1988 track championship at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina, and the Mid-Atlantic Winston Racing Series championships in 1987 and 1988. In the mid-1980’s, Pressley made a few starts in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series. But in 1989, his rookie year, he made the splash that would propel his career into overdrive. Pressley went to victory lane at Orange County Speedway in only his 12th start. From that point on, Pressley moved through the NASCAR Busch Series ranks, winning six poles, 10 races, and recording a third place finish in the 1993 Series points standings. This performance launched Pressley into the NASCAR Winston Cup Series in 1995, where he competed fulltime until December of 2001. At that time, Pressley received a call from Bobby Hamilton to race fulltime in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and also in a limited number of Winston Cup Series events for Bobby Hamilton Racing (BHR). By Joining BHR, Pressley is confident that he and the team can be a dominant force in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. |
