Bruce Durden drives the #17D Sprints Class car. He lives in Jacksonville Beach, Fl. His home track is Putnam  County Raceway, but he can also be found racing at Volusia, East Bay and Orange County.

After going to races with family, he began racing in 1972in Motor Cross at North Florida Motor Speedway and in 1984 in Late Model Class at Jax Speedway. His first win was in 1972 in Motor Cross at Cycle Back Park and in Late Model  Class in 1984 at Putnam Speedway.

The thrills of racing for him are the people, the friends, the bench racing after. "The older I get, the faster I was". 

"Every win is getting harder and harder to get". He is most proud of keeping all the friends from every Class he races in.

Bruce's racing heroes are David Pearson and Steve Kinser.

Of racing, Bruce says, "It's fun and every team needs help".
