Clinton
Repeats as USRA Hobby Stock National Champion
In 2021, Dylan Clinton of West Union, Iowa, won the
biggest race of his life when he walked away from the
Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., as the USRA Hobby
Stock main event winner of the Summit USRA Nationals.
It just got better from there when Clinton captured
the USRA Hobby Stock National Championship in 2022, and
then repeated the feat in 2023, joining Dustin
Gulbrandson as the only driver to win the title more
than once.
During this year’s Summit USRA Weekly
Racing Series action, Clinton nailed down victories at
the Deer Creek Speedway, Fayette County Speedway, Karl
Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway, Lucas Oil Speedway,
Pritchard Family Auto Stores Mason City Motor Speedway,
Mississippi Thunder Speedway and Winneshiek Raceway.
Clinton, who turned 30 in September, snagged 20
feature wins in 42 starts this season. His résumé
included 36 top-five and 38 top-ten finishes. This
season mirrored his 2022 campaign where he won 19 times
with 37 top-five and 41 top-ten finishes in 44 starts.
On the strength of 21 victories, Chris Hovden earned
runner-up honors after taking the fourth spot one year
earlier. Hovden, however, was the winner at the Lucas
Oil Speedway during this year’s Summit USRA Nationals.
Meanwhile, seven-time USRA Hobby Stock National
Champion Dustin Gulbrandson—the 2020 Summit USRA
Nationals winner—wound up third after finishing second
behind Clinton in the 2022 standings.
