His journey and return to motorsports has given him another venture to seize the dream of growing and striving for the ultimate success as a team owner and driver. Thanks to the encouragement of his late father, George Cooley “Tim” Hixon, to create his own team, Hixon Motor Sports with two full-season entries which finished Top 7 and Top 12 of the 2020 championship with 27 entrants. The Hixon Motor Sports team was personally awarded the VP Racing Fuels Clean Image Award during their inaugural season.
