Wayne Lowery is the Team Manager of Hart Racing, bringing over five years of leadership and a
lifetime of passion for motorcycle racing. With deep experience both on and off the track, Wayne
plays a crucial role in ensuring the team operates at the highest level of professionalism, safety,
and success.
Wayne’s love for motorcycle racing began in 1971, when he attended his first road race at
Talladega Superspeedway with his father. In 2001, at the age of 43, he took his passion to the
track, racing with WERA. He started on a Suzuki SV-650 and later competed in the C Superbike
Expert class on a Yamaha R6.
As the owner and manager of Faith on Wheels Racing, Wayne balanced his racing career
alongside his “real job” as a pilot for Delta Airlines. It was during this time that he met John and Philip Hart, forming an unbreakable bond. When Hart Racing relaunched in 2020, Wayne was honored to step into the role of Team Manager.
Wayne thrives in his role, blending his technical knowledge and racing experience with a deep
understanding of the mental and emotional challenges racers face. While he may not have been
as fast as Philip and John, he “speaks the language” of racing, making him an invaluable
mentor and strategist. Most of all, he cherishes the team aspect, working alongside a dedicated group of racers and crew members who are fully committed to success.
A former airline pilot, Wayne takes an analytical approach to racing, with a strong emphasis on safety and professionalism in the pit. However, he also understands the importance of enjoying the journey. The challenge of “having it all”—a balance of precision, passion, and teamwork—is what fuels him. His love for motorcycle racing drives him, and his faith in Jesus empowers him.
Now retired from flying, Wayne enjoys track days on his ZX-6R and SV-650, riding his Super Duke 1290GT on the street, tearing up the dirt on his YZ 250F, and cruising the paddock on his Navi. He also leads a church group at home and cherishes time with his wonderful family and beautiful wife.
Wayne remains dedicated to helping Hart Racing grow, ensuring the team stays competitive and continues to inspire others in the paddock. His blend of experience, leadership, and faith makes him a cornerstone of Hart Racing’s success.
