John Mason drives the #72 Late Model Class car.  He lives in Millersburg, OH.  His home track is Hill Top Speedway but he can be found racing at several tracks and series.

He started racing in 1972 in the Late Model Class at Hill Top Speedway because his Dad was a fan and went to the races.  His first win was in 1973 in the Late Model Class at Lakeville Speedway.  Career highlights include STARS National Champion 1984-1987, Dirt Track World Championship in 1989, held the track record for 7 years, 2 times World at Eldora, 1992-93 Springfield Mile, the North-South Race at Florence, KY and is in the Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame.

The thrill of racing for John is the competition and winning.  His most exciting racing moment was winning the Dirt Track World Championship in 1989.  He's most proud of being respected by fellow drivers and wants them to say that he was a pretty tough racer most days.

John's racing hero is Todd Gisson.

Of racing, John says, "Unless you have seen a good dirt track race, you don't know what racing is.  The people involved in dirt track racing are the best there is!".
