Dennis Barton

#35

Dennis Barton drives the #35 Open Wheel Modified Class car. He lives in  Corbin, Ky. His home track is  Lake Cumberland but he can also be found racing at  Clinton County and Bulls Gap

He started racing in 2003 in Pure Street Class at Corbin Speedway, he had always wanted to race but never had the chance until now. He bought a cazr for his son and he showed little interest so he drove it himself.

He won his first race at Clinton County Speedway in 2004.  Career highlights include Winning the Groundhog 300 in the Open Wheel Class at East Alabama in  Feb.2006.

The thrill of racing for Dennis is the winning. His most exciting racing moment was in 2003 Memorial Day Weekend,  he flipped his car 6 or 7 times. He is most proud of  just being able to get out there every weekend and try for that win.

Of racing, Dennis says' 'It's a whole lot of fun, very hard work, but also very expensive. I always in memory of my son Ryan and my best friend Johnny Alsip.   Racing is like an addiction, you just keep trying to get better and faster.
