Wayne Helliwell Jr
Dover, NH
Driver Information
Growing up in a garage with a father that raced every weekend, it was only natural for the son to follow suit. In 1991 at 13, Wayne Helliwell Jr., or Junior, as he's known, started racing a Rookie Stock at Hudson International Speedway in Hudson, NH. Wayne pulled a less-than-small Ford Grand Marquis from the junkyard and took it to the races. In what was supposed to be something to play around with while his father, Wayne Helliwell Sr., raced, it only took a few times on the track to realize this was something he wanted to take more seriously. In 1992, a reminiscence of the late Dale Earnhardt, a pink 01jr Street Stock, was born. In just eight races, Wayne picked up a victory at Lee USA Speedway and a win in the season-ending race at Hudson International Speedway.
In over 25 years behind the wheel, Wayne has amassed 14 championships and 100+ victories across multiple racing disciplines.
