Hope is an extremely motivated person who anyone would admire, with a personality that is bubbly and exciting. She is a very clean and fair driver and has gained the respect and friendship of the track owners, officials and fellow drivers. She is very popular at the track where she races.

She is a devoted wife to her husband Bud and a loving mother to her son T.J. and her stepsons Andrew and Beau. She is very career oriented as an office manager where she works. This year Hope has made plans to make volunteer appearances at a local children's hospital and school for handicapped kids. Her passion in racing began when her and her Uncle Bill would go to the on the weekend. Then she shared with her Uncle Bill how she would love to one day become a driver, and by teaching her everything he knew about racing, and how to work to become a great driver. That same year Uncle Bill along with some friends and family, surprised Hope by building her the car she been successful at wining in!! Her Uncle Bill has become her driver instructor and is always by her side through every race and is practically the entire crew and mechanic.

Her Uncle Bill raced at the same track where she does, Galesburg Speedway, 40 years ago and did well with several wins himself. After her dad, Tom Fuller, saw how talented and devoted Hope was, paid for to go to The Buck Baker Racing School at Rockingham, N.C.
