Bruce Litton will never forget the lessons his big brother taught him.
Litton, driver of the Lucas Oil Top Fuel dragster on the IHRA tour, said he learned the value of life through his older brother Dennis, the one he credits for introducing him to drag racing. And even though he lost his brother fifteen years ago in an industrial accident, his influence maintains a stronghold on his younger sibling’s life.
“Dennis always took care of me and looked out for me, too,” said Litton. “Through the years we shared a lot of the same passions, namely drag racing. He raced cars and I raced motorcycles. We were very competitive. There were plenty of head-to-head races between the two of us.”
Litton, the youngest of five children, gravitated towards his older brother, who was five years older. As he puts it, Dennis was a good teacher.
