Ethan Dion
Passion
At my young age of 14 I have been lucky enough to develop some great passions. Racing has been a passion of mine since I was 5 years old, with soccer a close second. I am a freshman at Ella T. Grasso Technical High School where I am the starting goalie on the varsity soccer team. I have also recently become a certified U.S. Soccer Referee. In school I focus on never letting my grades fall below high honors. One of my biggest academic accomplishments is being on the honor role since 6th grade. Currently I am enrolled in the welding and fabrication program. My hope is to graduate top of my class and start my adult career at electric boat or a chassis manufacturer.
Driving History
I started racing quarter midgets in 2014 at the age of 5 at Little T speedway in Thompson, CT. I raced quarter midgets for 6 years winning 6 championships (both local and regional) and then transitioned to bandoleros in 2019 racing at Seekonk Speedway and the New London Waterford Speedbowl winning 3 championships while transitioning to midgets. In 2021, I ran my first NEMA Lite race at the Seekonk Boston Louie Event. That was a wild race for my fist time racing the midget, and one I will never forget. In 2022 I won my first heat races at Seekonk Speedway and the New London Waterford Speedbowl. 2023 will be my 10th year of racing and my 3rd in the NEMA Lites series. I enjoy the challenge racing in the New Lites series gives me and traveling from track to track. Every race I learn something new which helps me become a better driver.
