Ken Brenn Jr.

Kenneth Brenn Jr. (April 20, 1952 – May 2, 2019) was an American modified racing driver who won more than 100 feature events at venues in the Mid-Atlantic states. Equally adept on both dirt and asphalt surfaces, he captured modified track titles on the dirt surface of New Jersey's Flemington Speedway and again after it was paved.

Early life Raised in Warren Township, New Jersey, Brenn graduated from Watchung Hills Regional High School and developed an interest in racing from his father, who had worked on race car maintenance.

Racing career Brenn won the first-ever rookie championship at Flemington in 1972, and after moving up a class, took the Sportsman championship the next year. In 1975, he posted the first of his 18 Modified victories at the East Windsor Speedway, New Jersey. In 1982 and 1983, Brenn claimed Flemington's modified titles and ultimately totaled 59 modified triumphs on the dirt surface.

Brenn won the 1983 Independence Day race and the 1985 New York State Fair Championship at the Syracuse Mile. He also won the 1979 pole position for the Super Dirt Week main event at Syracuse, but surprisingly took only two top five finishes in 17 appearances.
