NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. – Twelve-year-old Bandolero and dirt micro sprint racer Case Hockman has become the latest addition to the Race Face Brand Development roster of drivers.

Hockman, from Apollo Beach, Fla., has competed in Bandolero competition throughout the Southeast on pavement, while simultaneously honing his dirt racing skills in the competitive environment at North Carolina’s Millbridge Speedway.

Hockman joins a roster of Race Face drivers which includes NASCAR Xfinity Series winner and ARCA Menards Series champion Jesse Love, Xfinity Series regulars Sheldon Creed and Anthony Alfredo, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series young gun Kaden Honeycutt, who will go full time with Niece Motorsports in 2025.

“Thank you to Rod [Wortham], Carol [Wortham], and everyone at Race Face for being so welcoming as we take this next step in my career,” said Hockman. “I’m excited to work with them and learn from all the other Race Face drivers, because I know their advice and training will help me to grow as a person and a driver.

“I believe the things I have the opportunity to learn here will only help me progress over the next few years and I’m excited to really get things going into the fast lane before 2025 gets started.”

Race Face Brand Development is a full-service branding and development program, which works with young racecar drivers between the ages of five and 25 that have dreams and goals of reaching the top levels in racing.

Founder and CEO Rod Wortham is excited to welcome Hockman to the Race Face family as the second dirt driver and latest Bandolero product that the company has worked with at the grassroots level.

“This has been such an exciting season for Race Face Brand Development as an organization and we are glad to add Case Hockman to our ever-expanding lineup,” said Wortham. “We are looking forward to seeing him grow both on and off the racetrack as he learns from our experienced team of motorsports professionals. Adding to our Bandolero and short track presence in the Southeast, as well as growing our presence in the dirt world, allows Race Face to continue assisting young drivers in their racing goals and furthers our mission of growing the sport as a whole.”

About Case Hockman

Case Hockman is a 12-year-old racer from Apollo Beach, Fla., who has aspirations of reaching the top levels of NASCAR and currently competes in both INEX-sanctioned Bandolero cars on pavement and on dirt in 600cc micro sprints and Jr Sprints.

Hockman’s need for speed started at a young age. At just three years old, his father Richard had him behind the wheel of a go-kart, laying the foundation for his future as a driver.

By the age of four, Hockman tackled his first race. Inspired by his father’s racing career, the younger Hockman quickly became determined to take the wheel and pursue his own passion for speed.

After cutting his teeth and honing his skills in the karting world, Hockman moved to Bandoleros and Jr Sprints, transitioning between dirt and pavement and building toward a planned debut in the Spec Late Model class at California’s Irwindale Speedway in 2025.

When not behind the wheel or at a racetrack, Hockman enjoys playing soccer, flag football and racing RC cars. He is also a supporter of the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation’s efforts to better the quality of life for children battling pediatric cancer.
