TULSA, Okla. — Wokeeta “Fuzzy” Hahn, wife of former racer and racing promoter Emmett Hahn, died on Friday. She was 77.
Fuzzy and Emmett Hahn were married for 63 and she was always at her husband’s side. Her watchful eye was there through races won, miles traveled, championships earned and racing events built from the ground up.
When Emmett Hahn retired from driving, the couple turned their interests to the event-side of racing.
They built Creek County Speedway in 1985, founded the Tulsa Shootout in 1986 and joined with Lanny Edwards and his family to create the Chili Bowl Nationals in 1987.
The Hahns later founded the American Sprint Car Series and all of these racing ventures began businesses that her children and grandchildren were later involved in.
Despite all the work to do around race tracks and events, it was the family that Fuzzy’s world revolved around.
From her sons and daughter, to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Fuzzy was the cornerstone that kept the family together, while providing the foundation and a loving example of what devotion and hard work can produce.
The Hahns were also partners in the ownership of Sprint Car & Midget Magazine for 16 years.
Fuzzy Hahn is survived by her husband, her daughter, Donna Hahn-Harris, and sons Tom and Steve and their wives, Vickey and Staci, as well as eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister (Wynema Lovell) and two brothers (Jerry and Ken Trammell).
Services will be held Tuesday, Oct. 5 at Moore’s Eastlawn Chapel in Tulsa.
