Role at Riverside: Racer

Terry Clattenburg raced at Riverside in the 70s, 80s, and 90s – before and during the MASCAR era.

Hailing from Dartmouth he started his racing career as a drag racer – winning the 1968 Drag City ¼-mile championship. In 1969 he made quick headlines after switching to stock cars by winning the Halifax Dartmouth International Speedway sportsman title.

1977 saw Clattenburg win the Honda Series Championship at the AMP Road Course. He became known as one of the top racers in the Maritimes and New England as he traveled to tracks far and wide. In 1983 he joined the new-founded MASCAR and went on to become a four-time champion (1986, 1989, 1990 & 1991).

He won the 1990 edition of the Riverside 250; he retired from driving race cars in the mid 90s making a surprise announcement during pre-race ceremonies at a Scotia Speedworld MASCAR event.

Terry Clattenburg was inducted to the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2007.
