Billy Dunn (born June 6, 1984) is an American racecar driver who competes in dirt modifieds.

Racing career

Billy Dunn began his racing career in his early teens racing go-karts. In 2001 he began racing modifieds sanctioned by the International Motor Contest Association (IMCA), capturing the New York State Modified title the following year. A move up to the northeast dirt modifieds was fraught with two years of mechanical problems before he garnered his first division win in 2006. [2]

Since then, Dunn has captured multiple track championships competing in New York at Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville, Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, and Fulton Speedway. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Dunn has won at sixteen different venues, including Georgetown Speedway, Delaware; Merritville (Thorold) and Cornwall Speedways in Ontario; and AIS (New Breman), Thunder Ally (Evans Mills), Thunder Mountain (Lisle), and Oswego Speedways in New York State. [1] [7] [8] He won the Super Dirt Week main event in 2013 at the Syracuse Mile. [9]
