Larry Dickson

Larry Dickson[1] (born September 8, 1938, Warren, Ohio), is a former driver in the USAC and CART Championship Car series.

Larry won 43 USAC Sprint car races and was the all-time leader in the division until Tom Bigelow broke his record.

In the years 1968-71 Larry and Gary Bettenhausen raced each other in what was billed as "The Larry and Gary Show" or "Thunder (Bettenhausen) and Lightning (Dickson)" exchanging the USAC Sprint Car title between each other during those years.

Larry also ventured to NASCAR to drive Richie Giachetti's Ford Torino in the Daytona 500, running in the top ten before the engine expired.

Larry finished his career in the USAC Silver Crown car owned by his brother, Tommy and Max Brittain.
