Hugh Tucker is an American gasser drag racer.[1] Tucker was the first driver to win three National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) national championships in a gas supercharged class.[2]

Racing career

Driving an Oldsmobile-powered 1928 Chevrolet, he won NHRA's A/SR (gas) national title at the NHRA Nationals, held at Indianapolis Raceway Park, in 1962. His winning pass was 11.14 seconds at {{convert|130.24|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[3] At the Winternationals, he claimed the Little Eliminator win.[4]

The next year, he added a supercharger to the Oldsmobile engine. At the NHRA Nationals, he again won the AA/SR national title, at Indianapolis. His winning pass there was 11.33 seconds at {{convert|133.33|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[5] He also claimed Junior Eliminator at the Winternationals, over Bob Culbert.[6]

One year later, at the NHRA Nationals at Indianapolis, Tucker took a second AA/SR national title, with a pass of 11.03 seconds at {{convert|128.93|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[7]

In 1966, a Chrysler hemi replaced the Oldmobile. At the NHRA Nationals in Indianapolis, Tucker took his third (and final) AA/SR national title, with a pass of 9.75 seconds at {{convert|125.69|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[8]
