by Mark Huey
Nov. 4, 2013 - Dennis Franklin of Gaffney, SC became the 2013 Carolina Clash series champion on October 19, 2013 after he entered the final race of the season at Fayetteville Motor Speedway. It was perhaps the most successful season ever for Franklin in nearly 20 years of racing, as he has dominated Carolina Clash racing, along with cashing in on various crate late model titles and lucrative victories since February. Franklin was in contention to win the title in 2012, but ill-fated DNFs in the chase would hinder his third-straight championship run. This year, luck was on his side - and so were the victories.
