Biography

Dennis Vitolo (born December 18, 1956, Massapequa, New York), is a former driver in the CART Championship Car series. He raced in the 1988 and 1991-1999 seasons with 36 career starts, including the 1994 Indianapolis 500. He was involved in a notorious pit-lane crash in that race, taking out reigning CART champion Nigel Mansell. He also raced in the 1997 Indianapolis 500, which by then had become part of the Indy Racing League. His best career CART finish was 7th, in the U.S. 500 at Michigan International Speedway. He was noted for being much more of a businessman than race car driver, always able to find sponsorship despite his lackluster race results.
