Dog or Dawg.... it's all the same... the founding member of Team Pantera Racing. Sometime in the late 1990's, probably around the time he was president of the Pantera Owners Club of America, Dennis really worked on firing people up to enjoy their Panteras in one of the ways they were meant to be... Driven! Dennis clocking 177.6 at Silver State in 2006
Known for his fiery presence and prone to wearing a red bandanna or sporting various wigs at ORR events, Dennis has an interesting on-line demeanor that works at motivating others to continue the sport. Possibly his largest triumph was getting a team together to take on the Silver State Team Challenge. That was as Mad Dog likes to put it: The 1st & still the only vintage race team in open road racing. Another motivator for other Pantera drivers to participate in various ORR events through out the year, are The Brazilian Girls. This is a small group of women who are almost like groupies for Team Pantera Racing. They follow the antics, races and surrounding events of most all the ORR events Dennis participates in. Other TPR members who encounter The Brazilian Girls always come away from an event with a smile on their face. They have been one of the largest support teams in TPR history. They may not know how to change your engine (yet), but they certainly know how to change your oil. There is no larger driving force in the U.S. Open Road Racing circuit today, than Dennis Antenucci.
