Devin L. Dodson (born March 15, 1999) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 7 Ford Fusion for JP Racing.

Racing career

Dodson started his career in go-kart racing before moving up to dirt modifieds at the age of 14.{{cite web |last1=Jacobs |first1=Jaxson |title=Devin Dodson Quietly Chasing His Dreams |url=https://hometracks.nascar.com/2018/07/25/devin-dodson-quietly-chasing-his-dreams/ |website=NASCAR Home Tracks |accessdate=2 August 2019}} A few years later, he stopped racing around his Maryland home and traveled to North Carolina and South Carolina to compete in late model racing. While racing late models, Dodson signed a driver development deal with Empire Racing Group, a satellite team of Richard Petty Motorsports.{{cite web |last1=Pollitt |first1=Richard |title=Race car driver from Eastern Shore to make NASCAR national series debut |url=https://www.delmarvanow.com/story/sports/2019/08/01/racer-eastern-shore-make-nascar-national-series-debut/1876890001/ |website=Salisbury Daily Times |accessdate=2 August 2019}}

In 2018, Dodson stepped up to regional touring series, competing with Jefferson Pitts Racing for a limited schedule in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. The choice to travel to the West Coast and race with JPR was based on the value per start with Dodson not having major corporate backing.

Dodson would finish the race in 30th. He also competed in two NASCAR K&N Pro Series West races with JP Racing, finishing 8th at Evergreen Speedway and 17th at Meridian Speedway.

Dodson would run four ARCA Menards Series West races with JP Racing in 2020, scoring a best finish of 5th at Irwindale.

Personal life

Dodson graduated from Stephen Decatur High School.
