Dyson Racing

Dyson Racing is a professional sports car racing team based in Poughkeepsie, NY in the United States. Founded by Rob Dyson (former owner of WPDH radio) in 1974, the team is one of the longest-running and most successful privateer racing organizations. Over the years, it has competed in IMSA GTO and GTP, SCCA Trans-Am, Grand-Am, and CART. Rob Dyson has since retired from day-to-day operations, leaving control to his son Chris.

The team currently competes in the LMP2 class of the American Le Mans Series with Porsche RS Spyders, employing Chris Dyson, Butch Leitzinger, Guy Smith, and Marino Franchitti as drivers. For the 2008 season, Chris Dyson and Guy Smith will share the team's #16 entry, while Butch Leitzinger and Marino Franchitti pilot car #20. Andy Lally will join the #20 team for the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Leitzinger has driven an occasional NASCAR road course event, in different divisions.
