Dexter Stacey

Dexter Stacey (born November 9, 1992) is a Canadian professional stock car racing driver who competes part-time in the NASCAR Canada Series, driving the Nos. 3/92 Chevrolet for Ed Hakonson Racing. He has also previously competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Truck Series, and the ARCA Menards Series.

Stacey became the youngest driver to ever race in the Pinty's Series at the age of sixteen in 2009 when it was known as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

Stacey began racing in go karts at the age of four. He then moved up to race in dirt modifieds at the age of eight running well in several races. He also competed in various ice racing events in his early teens winning a few races throughout his five-year span in that discipline.

Stacey made his NASCAR debut on May 23, 2009, in the season opening NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race at Saint-Eustache at sixteen, becoming the youngest driver to race in the series and the youngest driver to race in NASCAR until his mark was eclipsed in 2011 when NASCAR lowered the age limit to fifteen. He contended for Rookie of the Year honors against Joey Hanssen, finishing second in the rookie points. Stacey found very little success in his first year with his underfunded WJS Motorsports team, with no top-tens and finishing fourteenth in the points.

In 2010, Stacey returned to the Canadian Tire series with sponsorship from Bully's Truck Stop. Stacey was fairly better that year than last year, finishing in the top-ten in points in tenth despite not having any top-tens once again.

In 2011, Stacey would have a career season in the Canadian Tire series. Stacey earned his first career top-ten in the fourth race of the season in Mosport, finishing seventh. Stacey went on to score 4 more solid top-fifteen finishes and despite still not leading a lap, he finished tenth in the points for the second year in row.

In 2012, Stacey made an attempt to run the full schedule in the NASCAR Canadian Tire series, but he and his team had a severe amount of financial issues that year. He and the team was only able to manage enough sponsorship to run five of the twelve races that year. However, in his next to last run of the season, Stacey earned a career best fifth-place finish at Barrie Speedway in Ontario, his first and only career top-five finish. Other than that, it was a dismal season for Stacey and WJS Motorsports as they finished 30th in the points.

During his part-time Canadian Tire series season, Stacey made his part-time leap into the Nationwide Series in 2012 as well. Stacey made his Nationwide debut at Watkins Glen dropping out during the race after 25 laps for a handling issue and finishing 32nd. He then made his second start as his home event at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at Montreal, Quebec, but crashed twice and dropped out, finishing 35th. Stacey ran five more races in 2012 that year running with Go Green Racing with a best finish of 24th at Chicagoland. Stacey had a hard time his first seven career Nationwide series races in 2012 with three DNF's and was well off the pace as well. He finished his first part-time season in the Nationwide Series 48th in points.
