Dan Sullivan has long since out distanced the demolitions races and figure 8’s he raced in at Riverside Park Speedway. In 1981 Dan “filled-in” for a friend with an Enduro Racecar that was ready to race with no driver to race it. From then forward, he was hooked and when owner, Scott Fearn, lost his driver Dan was there to take over.

Quite a guy, this gum chewing Dan Sullivan and his #6 Strictly Stock racecar. He races once a week at Monadnock Speedway. His crew Cookie, RZ, Motorcycle Bob, Sponge Bob, Mikie and Tex do all the maintenance not allowing Dan into their space. The racecar is garaged at Cookies home in Wilbraham, Mass.

Dan’s most challenging race was at Thompson Speedway 2 years ago. It was in an Outlaw Race and the 1st and 2nd place cars hit each other making way for Dan to stake claim to second place for the second year in a row. His goal for the 2003 season is a Championship at Monadnock Speedway

The ultimate goal for Dan is to have fun racing. He likes the guys at the track and enjoys the competition of the race. Being that Dan is a guy’s guy, racing gives him something in common with his race friends. Dan speaks sadly of the untimely death of Dale Earnhart SR and if he could change one thing in the history of racing it would be that.

Professionally, Dan is an Airforce Loadmaster for C5 Cargo Planes stationed at Westover Airforce Base. Early in the 2003 season, a group of his recently returned military buddies were in attendance at Monadnock when Dan won a feature race. The group joined him in Victory Lane.

Dan resides in Chicopee, Mass. He has 3 daughters. Twins Courtney and Nicole, and daughter Shawnee. He is an electrician by trade. Dan also collects Dale Earnhart cards as a hobby.
