Matt Hawkins 1988-2009 | ARCA
It is with great shock and sadness that Motorsports Management International confirms that Matt Hawkins, a young stock car racer from Canton, Georgia, died this morning (Saturday, Feb. 14, 2009) from a tragic accident at his home, according to the Cherokee Sheriff's Office in Canton.
"Matt was a great kid and racing talent," said MMI President Cary Agajanian. "We have extended our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Hawkins family. Matt will be greatly missed on and off the race track."
Hawkins, 21, was a rising young stock car talent who won his series debuts on the Pro Cup Series in 2007 and at Iowa Speedway on the ARCA RE/MAX Series in 2008. Hawkins started racing go-karts at the age of four that later led to a World Karting Association national championship in 2003. Hawkins then switched to late models to win the Southern All Star Series Super Late Model Championship in 2005 before moving up to stock cars in 2007. Hawkins planned to race select events in the ARCA RE/MAX series in 2009.
