Driver History |
Dennis Setzer returns as driver of the #46 ACXIOM/Computer Associates Chevrolet and Morgan-Dollar Motorsports for the 2003 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season. 2003 will be Dennis’ third season with Morgan-Dollar Motorsports and fourth straight full season of competition in the NCTS. Setzer joined Morgan-Dollar Motorsports in 2001 and his impact was immediate. After overcoming several obstacles early in the year, Setzer and the #46 team came on strong in the middle and end of the season to wind up with a top-10 point finish – the team’s first in three years of NCTS competition. Setzer was also instrumental in Morgan-Dollar Motorsports’ first win last year (Memphis 6/23) and their first of two poles (Kansas 7/7 and Richmond 9/4). Over the past four years, Dennis Setzer has been one of the most competitive and consistent drivers in the Craftsman Truck Series. He has won six races over that span, reaching victory lane at least once in each season. Even more amazing is the fact that Setzer has finished in the top-5 in a third of all of his starts and in the top-10 in over half of them. In Setzer’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series career, he has raced in 95 races and posted 28 top-five finishes and 55 top-10 finishes. Setzer also has not finished outside of the top-10 in points in any of his three full seasons of competition, with 1999 being his most successful year - finishing third in the standings. |

| Setzer has been racing for over 20 years. He has raced up and down the east coast racking up seven track championships at four different tracks – mostly in the late model and sportsman divisions. Setzer has been a journeyman as he has over 100 starts in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Division and seven starts in NASCAR’s most elite division – the Winston Cup Series. In 1994, his rookie season in the Busch Grand National Series, Setzer won twice - once at his home track at Hickory and the other in South Boston, Virginia. In his first ever truck series start, Setzer proved he had what it takes by finishing second to Mike Skinner at the Milwaukee Mile in 1995. | |
| Setzer’s Craftsman Truck Series career really began as a backup driver in 1998 for the #29 K-Automotive team and their injured driver/owner Bob Keselowski. His performance landed him the full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ride for the coming campaign. Setzer had posted top-10 finishes in three of six starts, including a victory in the Dodge California Truck Stop 300 at Mesa Marin Raceway in Bakersfield, CA. | |
| In 2003, Setzer should be able to accomplish several more NCTS career goals including his 100th NCTS start, breaking the two-million dollar career earnings mark, and stretching a four-year win streak into five. However, the one goal that really matters to Setzer and the entire Morgan-Dollar Motorsports team is to win the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship. | |
| Dennis Setzer nearly captured the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship in his first full season on tour. Despite finishing 34th and last in the Miami opener, Setzer went into the finale in California just 25 points off the lead. An early accident ended the title bid, but Setzer learned what it takes to win a championship and that you are never out until the season is over. With all the weapons he needs to compete, Dennis Setzer plans on running for the 2003 title from start to finish. | |
