According to his Crew Chief Jerry Daggett, Yoshimura Suzuki’s Jamie Hacking married girlfriend Rachel Soper in Cancun, Mexico on Sunday, January 13.

“Hell no!” answered Hacking when asked at the Daytona tire test last December if his then-impending marriage would slow him down any. “Nothing changes, you know. Rachel’s a good girl. She supports me 100%, doesn’t get in my way and just lets me do my own thing. Everything’s good. She helps me out a lot, just being supportive and being there.”

The newlyweds will honeymoon in Mexico before returning to the United States in time for Hacking to test with his Yoshmiura Suzuki team in late January at Bragg-Smith Motorsports Park in Pahrump, Nevada.
