What happened to the "Hillmans"


What happened to the large heart the "Hillmans" once showed?


Racing Fans all over the south, have heard or seen the Hillman family race, I mean, you had the #01J of Joe Hillman and the #77 of his brother Mike Hillman, who drove on Saturday nights on the hot asphalt of Senoia Speedway, then there was the pretty blond that was married and I thought she was going to be the next up and coming racing star, Jennifer Hillman who drove the #44 pure mini car in her class. Let's not leave out the #01X of Mike's Son Cory Hillman, who was always tough on his car, but when he won he put on one heck of a show.

But now the story gets sad because the Hillman name is not around as much as it once was, maybe because of hard times, then again maybe because they lost the racing feeling.

Well one person that has not is Jennifer Hillman, she was driving in the pure mini class at West Georgia Speedway until things started to go wrong in her life. Marriage trouble, family trouble and now she has been sick with Pneumonia and has a mass on her breast. Which could be cancer, and we all want to pray for Jennifer.

If you never met Jennifer, you missed some great times, she always had a smile and was proud of bearing the Hillman name, and she like her family members drove the black 44 pure mini car, she never got a win while I was filming but she tried and GOD knows that means so much.

She was never a quiter and she won't quit in this battle she is undergoing now, she is a tough talking lady and says what is on her mind, but when you look over her language you will see one of the sweetest people in the world, and when she see's someone eles's race car she is in heaven.

Some how the family, has split apart and that is not good, more so when people in your family or having physical difficulties. People need to get together and surround her with love and I mean love and shower her with praise. She is fighting a battle, but if I know Jennifer Hillman, she will battle till the end, she is strong, and I really believe that the Hillman family should pull together and not apart.

Racing is one thing, but family ailments mean that they should come together and become strong and hold up each other.

I won't say anymore expect, keep Jennifer Hillman in your prayers as she would you, she may not be a church attending person, but GOD still loves her and loves the entire Hillman Family.

It breaks my heart, pray for this family.
