Derek Dudding

"Everyone is cheating 'cause they're way too much faster than me. They should be arrested for a million years."

- Derek Dudding, referring to his competition.

Derek Darryl Dudding (born May 11, 1984) is a driver in the ARLA Elite Series, "competing" for Team Burr behind the wheel of the #68 Evrsorb Tampons Lenard.

Dudding quickly become a center of controversy in his 2011 rookie campaign, running well off the pace and complaining about his competition almost every week.

Biography
Dudding was born on May 11, 1984 in the Evergreen Grove Mobile Home Park, located in Durham, North Carolina. He was raised by mother Natalie Boze; his father Darryl left shortly after his birth. Dudding was homeschooled after failing kindergarten. Dudding expressed an interest in racing at an early age, starting with racing other kids in Cozy Coupes at the age of 8. Dudding then took up Mario Kart for the next 15 years of his life, and won his first Mario Kart 50cc title in 1999.

In 2010, Dudding decided to make the move to stock cars, and after securing enough funding, he purchased a Cromwell CS and entered it in the ARLA Elite Series race at Watkins Glen. However, in the qualifying race, Dudding plunged into the turn 1 wall head-on when he briefly forgot how to turn right. Dudding's performance attracted the attention of the TTE Motor Company, who offered him their support for the 2010 race at Decatur. Dudding flipped his car on the pace lap for the qualifier in his new RB6 (which was declared "The Worst Car in America" by the automotive magazine Wheelmen), but TTE still decided to back Dudding's team for the full 2011 season.

In the final race of the 2010 ARLA Elite Series season at Rockford, his wife Danielle drove for Tom Delgado's MRD Motorsports, but she failed to pre-qualify despite starting on pole. This upset Derek, as he repeatedly claimed that Danielle was supposed to be his crew chief.

It is known that Dudding works a second job as a greeter at Karl's, where he has been repeatedly reprimanded for trying to stop African-American customers from entering the store.

2011
His 2011 season has been terrible, he has either been in the back of the pack, out of the race, or in the 2 Canadian rounds and Elk Ridge, not show up due to not knowing where Canada is. He also picked up sponsorship from Evrsorb, a Tampon company during the 2011 Verdugo 250

He also fielded another car for the 2011 Fort Worth 500, the #180 TTE RB6 of Randy McFlasher, but officials revoked his ARLA License after repeatedly driving recklessly during practice and taking out Kenn Groves in the process, needless to say, Dudding defended McFlasher, and McFlasher claimed that his car was having problems even though officials found nothing wrong with the car.

2012
Dudding was picked up by Team Burr, joining A.J. Young and Paul Lyons at the team. In January, Dudding finally claimed his second 50cc championship in Mario Kart. He celebrated by drinking copious amounts of chocolate milk. He followed this up with a shocking third 50cc title heading into the Carbondale weekend. His mother was very proud of this amazing accomplishment, and treated him to fries at Grease Burger.

2013
Not much has changed besides the fact that he probably lost a few more IQ points, that is if he has any left.
