Larry Hoopaugh is an American driver whose racing background includes stints in NASCAR's Busch Grand National Series and the Goody's Dash Series, where he built a reputation over the course of a long career, claiming Dash Series championships in 1978, 1979, and 1982. That success came well before his appearances in Racer DB's tracked record, which reflects his participation in SVRA competition rather than his earlier NASCAR career.[1]
Within the SVRA context captured here, Hoopaugh's record shows two career starts with no wins, no podiums, and no championships. His Racer Rating stands at 1,399, placing him 9,883rd among active drivers on the scale used to measure competitive performance. In the 2026 season, he competed in two rounds without recording a win or podium finish, placing 184th in the standings. His status is now listed as retired, closing out a career that spanned distinct chapters of American motorsport, from his championship years in stock car racing to his later, more limited appearances in vintage road racing competition.[2]
