LARRY DICKSON - USAC HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2014

Larry Dickson owns three USAC National Sprint Car Championships, 1968, 1970 and 1975 and formed half of the feared “Larry and Gary Show” with Gary Bettenhausen, swapping first and second place point finishes between 1968 and 1971. His 45 career Sprint wins are tied with Tracy Hines for fourth on the all-time USAC list. In 1975 he also added the prestigious “Little 500” to his victory list at Anderson, Ind. In eight Indianapolis 500 starts he scored a ninth-place finish in 1969. A 1990 inductee into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, he was among their inaugural class! A versatile driver, he even drove a Ford Torino in the Daytona 500 and ran in the “top-10” before retiring with engine woes. He added a pair of wins in the USAC Silver Crown series.
