Dempsey Wilson was an American driver whose Formula 1 career proved short. Between 1958 and 1960 he made two starts for Kurtis Kraft, the Indianapolis constructor, but failed to score points or finish on the podium in either appearance. His single classified result came in 1960, when he finished twenty-eighth.[1]
Wilson's competitive record places him in the lower echelon of professional single-seater racing, with an average finish of thirty-third across his limited outings. The calibre of driver at Kurtis Kraft during this period ranged widely; the team's strongest competitor was Jim Rathmann, a much more accomplished driver, but Wilson's brief tenure offered no opportunity to measure his relative standing within the operation. He retired from racing after 1960.
