Lance Fenton (born March 12, 1977) is an American professionalauto racing driver and team owner who has previously competed in theNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and theARCA Racing Series.
Fenton made his debut in theARCA Re/Max Series in 2008 atChicagoland Speedway, driving the No. 85Dodge for Greg Barnhart, where he started 27th and finish six laps down in 24th. He then made another start the following year, this time atKansas Speedway with his own No. 85, where he finished in 22nd after starting in 40th and last.
In 2010, it was announced that Fenton would run up to seven races in theNASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the newly formedTeam Gill Racing in the No. 95Dodge, splitting the ride between former series championJohnny Benson.[1] Fenton later attempted to make the ARCA race atDaytona International Speedway with the team, but failed to qualify. He then made his official Truck Series debut atMartinsville Speedway, where he started and finished in 34th due to a crash. He then failed to qualify for the next race atNashville Superspeedway before being released by the team. He would not make another start that year until August, where he drove the No. 47Chevrolet forRick Ware Racing atDarlington Raceway, where he finished in nineteenth after starting 33rd.[2] He then made one more start in the No. 47 at Chicagoland before switching to the No. 6 for two races atLas Vegas Motor Speedway, where he finished in 31st due to suspension issues, and atTexas Motor Speedway, where he finished 27th.[3]
In 2011, Fenton and Bob Leavine formedLeavine Fenton Racing, which planned to compete on a limited basis in theNASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Truck Series, withDavid Starr competing in the former for six events and Fenton driving in the latter for three.[4] However, following theSprint Showdown andCoca-Cola 600 atCharlotte Motor Speedway,[5] the team announced that Fenton's share in the team had been acquired by Leavine and his wife, Sharon; the team was renamed as Leavine Family Racing. Fenton had not attempted any Truck Series events before leaving the team.[6] He then made a lone Truck Series start at Las Vegas, driving the No. 65Chevrolet forTagsby Racing, where he finished 32nd after seven laps due to engine issues. He has not competed in NASCAR since then, as he has since ran in various sports car events like the Super Trofeo North American Series and the Ligier European Series, a series where he finished sixth in his class in 2023.[7][8][9]
Fenton has two children, Zadie, who competes in horse racing events, and Turbo, who races endurance cars inCalifornia.[10]
