Doug Bennett started his racing career in the Grand National Sportsman

division at the Rockford Speedway in 1997. After racing for four years,

with all final positions being in the Top 10, Doug moved up to the Late

Model division in 2001 racing at the Rockford Speedway. He then

continued in Late Models for three years racing Rockford Speedway and

Madison International Speedway. Doug has also raced at the Dells Motor

Speedway in Wisconsin Dells. Returning to Grand National Sportsman in

2004, Doug claimed the title of Mid-Season Champion and Sportsman of

the Year and was voted Most Likely to Succeed in 2005. With a slow start

in 2005, having multiple DNFs due to various unforeseen mechanical

problems, at mid-season Doug appeared to be a serious contender for a

top season points finish. Starting 2006, with a refabricated chassis, Doug

eagerly looks forward to the upcoming season in the Grand National

Sportsman where it all began.
