Ben Denton is only in his fifth year of racing, but he already has a lot to show for it. He has competed in the finals many times and won several races already. Ben’s home track is Bristol Dragway in Bristol, Tennessee. He may only be 10 years old, but he has spent his entire life surrounded by cars and bracket racing.

His dad, uncle and older brother have been bracket racing for many years. They have been competing in everything from street cars to Super Comp dragster. When Ben’s not behind the wheel of his Jr. Dragster, you can find him on the baseball field; either on the mound or behind home plate. Ben also enjoys camping, hunting and fishing. It’s hard to say which he enjoys more, racing or baseball; but, on Saturday afternoon, there’s nowhere he’d rather be than at the track.
