Ed Dunne: 100 944 Cup Races
 

Ed Dunne clocked his 100th 944 Cup race early this season!!!!!

Ed started racing at age 15 when he got behind the wheel of a Hobby Stock car and when he turned 16 later that year, he moved up to Sportsman Stock cars. From there Ed moved up to Super Late Model Stock cars. This continued for many years with the help from his lifelong friend Jeff from Victor Ford Motorsports. Ed raced many tracks in the Midwest from ¼ mile bullrings to one-mile ovals. Before receiving his PCA license, he had licenses with USAC, NASCAR, and SCCA.

After over 30 years of stock car racing, with hundreds of wins, multiple series championships and track records with a NASCAR Bud Pole Award, it was time to move on. Next stop was Autobahn Country Club, a private club in Joliet, Illinois, where he met Tom Collins, another PCA club racer. After an unfortunate wreck at Watkins Glen because of an ABS brake failure Tom’s SP3 968 racer was destroyed. Tom hired Brian Weathered, owner of Midwest Eurosport in Bensenville, IL. to build him a new car with Ed later becoming the full time driver.

In his 6th PCA season, Ed has completed in 108 944 Cup races and won over 35% while winning a podium spot in 75% of those races. Ed tied for the PCA National Championship in 2016 and won the PCA National Championship in 2017 and 2018, along with the 944 Cup South Chapter Championship in 2017. Ed has PCA broken track records in SP3 at Mid-Ohio, COTA, Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta. Ed has also received six PCA Worker’s Choice Awards.

Congrats to a great guy:
Won and Dunne!

Congratulations

AND, another testament to the talent of Ed's driving. he has never experienced a 13/13 with PCA. This takes some control of the car and the mind considering spent 30 years racing stock cars in the Midwest!!!

Need Contact Information for Ed Dunne
 

Hello,
I have one of Ed's old stock cars. I found his name above the window when stripping the car and prepping for paint. I bought it from another Autobahn CC member so I am sure this must be the right Ed Dunne. The car is a black Taurus bodied Howe Chassis # ASA0059. I am trying to trace the history of the car back its origin in the 2000 ASA Series. Hoping maybe Ed knows who the original driver, team, or car number was.

If anyone knows how to contact Ed, PM me and I will provide my email address.

Thanks,
Charles

Thanks 944Cup!

I sent Ed a message on Facebook. No reply yet. This the first time I ever tried to use Facebook so maybe I didn't do it right. I will try again.
