Russ Dugger

In 2015, Dugger went back to Daytona with DGM Racing and failed to make the race. He went on to Talladega that same year and accomplished his career best finish of 5th, and then went to Kansas Speedway and after running as high as fourth late in the race, finished 11th.

In 2012, Dugger announced that he would compete in six NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events with primary and secondary sponsorship from JPO Absorbents and Vacuworx Global. Running in a limited schedule kept "Rookie of the Year" options open for 2013, according to an interview he gave with the Tulsa World newspaper. His published schedule included events at Kansas, Texas Motor Speedway, Bristol, Kentucky, Martinsville, and Homestead-Miami Speedway.

In February 2010, Dugger made his first ever ARCA start in the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway - the same event at which Danica Patrick made her stock car racing debut. He drove the No. 12 Accell Construction Chevrolet Monte Carlo for DGM Racing's Mario Gosselin, whom he met through an acquaintance in 2007 at Daytona. Gosselin served as crew chief for Dugger's first race, and was impressed by his performance throughout the open test and race weekend. Despite being collected in a lap 7 wreck, Dugger claimed the race's fast lap with a time of 48.283 seconds at 186.401 mph.

In April 2010, Dugger made his second ARCA start in the Rattlesnake 150 at Texas Motor Speedway. He would again pilot the No. 12 Accell Construction Chevrolet, fielded by DGM Racing but with George Church as crew-chief. Due to rain during qualifying, he started in 31st position, but drove to a 14th-place result and finished on the lead lap.

Dugger's third ARCA start came September, 2010, in the Kansas Lottery 150 at Kansas Speedway. Racing with the DGM Racing team in the No. 12 Accell Construction Chevrolet, he was able to attend the open practice a week before the race event. The additional experience helped the team and driver become more familiar with the track, as evidenced by their performance in the race. With Mario Gosselin as crew-chief, Dugger qualified in the 19th position but drove to a 12th-place result, again finishing on the lead lap. The race was noteworthy because Dugger ran in the top-10 for much of the race, as high as 9th before the last late caution flag.

In 2008, Dugger made two appearances (Martinsville, Phoenix), and his debut in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series came at Phoenix where he retired with brake issues.

Dugger participated in the December 2007 ARCA test session at Daytona where he gained valuable superspeedway seat time, but he did not make the start in the race there the following February.

Through an acquaintance with Mark Eldridge of Mobile Soundstage Engineering, he has piloted a one-of-a-kind street legal 2006 Dodge Charger show car converted from a retired NASCAR chassis for private and charity ride-along events around Hallett Motor Racing Circuit.

Russell "Russ" Dugger (born January 12, 1975) is an American professional stock car racing driver who has competed in both the NASCAR Truck Series and the ARCA Racing Series.
