Tom Hubert (born August 6, 1964) is an American road course racer.
Hubert was born inCottonwood, California. He most recently worked as a rear tire changer and a mechanic forBill Davis Racing's No. 22 Sprint Cup team, before the team closed down, and also occasionally races road courses for various teams. His hobbies include golf and water skiing.
Hubert made his firstWinston Cup race in his first attempt with Jim Wilson's No. 78 team atSears Point during the 1997 season. He would bring the #78Hanes /Diamond Rio Ford home in the 28th position, one lap down. His next start would come in 1998 with the No. 19 team owned by Kurt Roehrig. He qualified an impressive tenth in his second race atSears Point, however the No. 19Bradford White Ford would finish 41st after a transmission failure 78 laps into the race. His second start during the 1998 season would come atWatkins Glen withDan Marino andBill Elliott's No. 13 team. Hubert drove the No. 13FirstPlus Financial Ford to a 36th place finish. He would return to Roehrig's team in 1999 for three races. His first start would come atLas Vegas where he qualified fourth,[1] finishing in the 28th position. Again, Hubert raced atSears Point where he would finish in the 33rd position, one lap down. He also attempted thePepsi 400 atMichigan, however he was unable to qualify. In 2000, he would make one start withPenske Racing and the No. 12 Mobil 1 Ford. He would finish theGlobal Crossing @ The Glen in 33rd place after starting sixteenth. In 2001, Hubert qualified Buckshot Jones' No. 44 Georgia Pacific Dodge for theDodge/Save Mart 350. In 2002, he would race theSirius Satellite Radio at the Glen forBill Davis Racing. Hubert finished the No. 23Hills Brothers Coffee Dodge in the 24th position after starting fortieth. He would return to the series in 2004 withKirk Shelmerdine Racing, driving each of the road courses. At the newly renamedInfineon Raceway (formerly Sears Point Raceway) he would finish 43rd in the #72Freddie B's Ford after running five laps at too slow of a pace for NASCAR. TheWatkins Glen would be much better for Hubert as he would finish in the 29th position just one lap down. He would return to Shelmerdine's team for 2005 and attempt each of the road courses. He would make the race atInfineon, however he finished 43rd after oil pressure problems. Hubert would not make theSirius at The Glen after qualifying was rained out. Hubert again raced for Shelmerdine in 2006 for theDodge/Save Mart 350, but was swept up in a crash on the opening lap and once more finished last.
Hubert made his firstBusch Series start in 1999 withBill Davis Racing atSouth Boston Speedway in the No. 93Amoco Pontiac. He would start the race in the 28th position and finish in eighteenth place. He would attempt his second race that year withAndy Petree Racing in the No. 15Chevy for theDura Lube 200 atDarlington, however he was unable to break into the field. In 2000, Hubert would attempt ten races for BDR and make nine of them. His best finish in the No. 20AT&T Pontiac would be a 21st atMyrtle Beach. He would also lead fifteen laps atWatkins Glen, but would finish that race in the 37th position, many laps down. He would return to theBusch Series in 2001 with No. 00 team owned by Buckshot Jones' family. Hubert would drive the No. 00Georgia Pacific Pontiac to a 28th place finish atWatkins Glen. He would also make one start forTeam Bristol Motorsports atCharlotte. He drove the No. 54General Creations Toys Chevrolet until the car had overheating problems around lap 138, leaving him with a finish of 35th.
Hubert has had the most success in theCraftsman Truck Series, scoring two top fives in fifteen races. He would make his first start in 1997 withDana Racing atColorado where he would finish 23rd. Hubert would race an additional four races in the No. 18Dana Dodge. He dominated the 1997Kragen / Exide 151 atInfineon Raceway only to finish second toJoe Ruttman.[2] In 1998, he would drive five races forPhelon Motorsports in the No. 66Carlin Burners & Controls Ford. His best finish was a fifth atGateway and he was able to get a pole atSears Point.[3] Hubert would also drive one race forEngineered Victories Inc and finish 24th in the #89Cyberdyne Tech Chevrolet. In 1999, he would compete in three races forConley Racing and one race for Marty Walsh's No. 81 team. He had a wild ride during the one-hundredth race in Craftsman Truck series history at Evergreen when he spun after contact from behind byDavid Starr through an opening in the inside wall and went into the infield. Amazingly, he didn't hit anything, but when he brought it into the pits seconds later, his brakes failed and his truck caught fire, sending him out. His best finish during the season, seventeenth, would come in the No. 7 Conely Racing Engines Chevrolet atPhoenix. He has yet to return to theCraftsman Truck Series since the 1999 season.
