Dennis Firestone

Dennis didn’t start racing in America until he was 27 years old…with Formula Fords…but by 1976 he’d won not only the hotly-contested SCCA Runoffs National Championship, but the coveted Kimberly Cup … A foray into USAC’s version of Super Vees produced a Rookie of the Year title in 1978 and the series Championship a year later, along with seven wins in the two seasons … From there, Denis went to CAART racing and earned the Rookie of the Year trophy for that series in 1981 … his career best finishes were fifth places at Phoenix and Mexico City in 1980 … in all, he had 55 career starts in CART … now retired from racing, he owns a trucking company in suburban Los Angeles.
