Bill Dennis is a former NASCAR driver. He made his debut at age 26 at the 1962 Capital City 300 in the#98 and finished 15th. After a couple of part-time runs, he attempted a full-time schedule in 1970, winning Rookie of the Year with Donlavey Racing. Unfortunately, he was injured a few years later and never displayed his potential. His last start came in the 1981 World 600.
[edit] Accomplishments
Bill Dennis won the Permatex 300 at Daytona three consecutive years (1972-1973-1974), a feat matched only by the late Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
