Cody Dennison Bio
Cody Blake Dennison, born on March 4, 1990, in Hokes Bluff, Alabama, is an American professional stock car racing driver and YouTube personality. Standing 5 feet 11 inches tall, he is best known for the CAMELOT331 YouTube channel, where he built a sizable audience before transitioning toward NASCAR and ARCA competition. He most recently competed part-time across several national stock car series while continuing to grow his online presence.
Dennison has built a versatile résumé that spans the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the ARCA Menards Series, the ARCA Menards Series East, and the ARCA Menards Series West. He has driven for multiple teams, including Reaume Brothers Racing, Fast Track Racing, Strike Mamba Racing, Wayne Peterson Racing, CW Motorsports, and Clubb Racing Inc. His career path reflects a self-made driver who has paired grassroots short-track experience with a growing digital media brand.
Early Life and Background
Cody Blake Dennison was born and raised in Hokes Bluff, Alabama, a small community in the northeastern part of the state. Like many young people in the region, he grew up surrounded by the culture of stock car racing, and the short tracks of the South played a major role in his early exposure to motorsports. Hokes Bluff provided a close-knit hometown environment that helped shape his work ethic and ambitions.
Long before he became known as a racing driver, Dennison built a following online. He created the CAMELOT331 YouTube channel and, in 2013, began posting videos that included guitar covers, a hobby he pursued for several years. In December 2018, he shifted the focus of his channel toward vlog-style content, posting a series of videos that documented his experiences working at GameStop, including his eventual firing. Those videos went viral and helped establish the audience that would later follow his transition into racing.
Path to NASCAR
Dennison began racing professionally in 2022, when he entered the Grand National Super Series. He ran four races that season, driving an old Ryan Newman Dodge from 2007, and posted a strong record with top-ten finishes in all four starts. His best result was a fifth-place run at Dillon Motor Speedway, a performance that convinced him to chase a fuller schedule the following year.
In 2023, Dennison expanded his racing calendar significantly, competing in eighteen of the twenty-two events on the Grand National Super Series schedule. He drove his own Dodge and also ran for ShoTime Motorsports and Bob Schacht Motorsports, racking up fifteen top-ten finishes along the way. Two of his best results came at New River All-American Speedway, where he finished fifth in both events, and he also posted a fifth at Carteret County Speedway, ending the year sixth in the final points standings.
Cody Dennison Career
Early Career (2022-2023)
Dennison’s early professional career was rooted in the Grand National Super Series, a regional stock car tour that gave him a foundation in competitive racing. His rookie season in 2022 produced immediate results, with four top-ten finishes in four starts, an impressive consistency for a newcomer driving a used Cup-level chassis. That consistency, combined with a feature win-equaling best finish of fifth, gave him confidence heading into a much busier 2023 campaign.
The 2023 season showed real progression. Running eighteen of twenty-two races across his own equipment and two established teams, Dennison became a regular presence near the front of the field. With fifteen top-ten finishes and another pair of fifth-place results, he finished sixth in points, a campaign that opened the door to the national NASCAR ladder.
ARCA Menards Series Breakthrough (2024)
Dennison moved toward the national stage in 2024. He took part in pre-season testing at Daytona International Speedway with Wayne Peterson Racing in the No. 06 Toyota, and later attempted to make his ARCA Menards Series debut with Clubb Racing Inc. in the No. 86 Ford at Daytona. He ultimately failed to qualify at Daytona and again at Phoenix Raceway, but he made progress soon after, debuting in the ARCA Menards Series East at Pensacola, where he qualified twelfth and finished tenth, eight laps down, in his first completed national event.
The rest of the 2024 ARCA season was a whirlwind of teams and tracks. He ran the No. 01 Ford for Fast Track Racing at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing seventeenth, and later drove for Wayne Peterson Racing at Dover Motor Speedway, where he finished twelfth in a combination race with the East Series. He added additional East Series starts at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway and Flat Rock Speedway, plus a thirteenth-place run at Charlotte Motor Speedway for Fast Track. In June 2024, CW Motorsports announced that he would run the remainder of the ARCA season in the No. 93 Chevrolet, although he only contested Iowa Speedway before returning to Fast Track. Despite driving for four different teams and failing to qualify twice, Dennison finished seventh in the ARCA Menards Series standings with two top-tens, and sixth in the ARCA Menards Series East standings, also with two top-tens.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Era (2025)
On January 21, 2025, it was announced that Dennison would drive a partial schedule in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Reaume Brothers Racing in the No. 2 Ford F-150. He made his Truck Series debut at Martinsville in the Boys & Girls Club of the Blue Ridge 200, beginning a new chapter at the national NASCAR level. His Truck Series season featured a best finish of nineteenth at Texas Motor Speedway across seven starts with the team.
Dennison was later released by Reaume Brothers Racing, with the driver publicly stating that he had been “canceled” for “being a conservative.” His final Truck Series start of the 2025 season came at the TSport 200 at IRP, and he finished the year 34th in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series standings.
ARCA Menards Series West Era (2025-Present)
On January 19, 2025, it was announced that Dennison would drive the No. 72 part-time in the ARCA Menards Series West for Strike Mamba Racing. After making seven Truck Series starts earlier in the year, he returned to ARCA competition and ran the final three races of the West Series season with Strike Mamba Racing, recording a best finish at Madera Speedway along the way. Despite running only six events on the West schedule, he finished eleventh in the series standings.
His first ARCA West race was the West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame 150 at Bakersfield, and his most recent West Series start on file is the General Tire 150 at Phoenix. Across the ARCA West, ARCA Menards Series, and ARCA Menards Series East, he has accumulated two top-tens in each tour with no wins or poles recorded.
Driving Style and Strengths
Dennison has shown a knack for consistency at the short-track and regional level, posting top-ten finishes in all four of his 2022 Grand National Super Series starts and racking up fifteen top-tens across an eighteen-race 2023 schedule. His ability to jump between teams, manufacturers, and car numbers has made him adaptable, and he has been competitive on a wide range of track types, from superspeedways like Talladega to short ovals such as Flat Rock and Nashville Fairgrounds.
Notable Races and Milestones
Among his milestone moments, Dennison lists his first national start in the ARCA Menards Series East at Pensacola in 2024, his Truck Series debut at Martinsville in 2025, and his best Truck Series result of nineteenth at Texas Motor Speedway. His first ARCA Menards Series start came at Talladega in 2024 with Fast Track Racing, and his first ARCA West start came at Bakersfield in 2025 with Strike Mamba Racing.

2025 Season Performance
The 2025 season was a busy and transitional year for Cody Blake Dennison. He balanced a part-time ARCA Menards Series West schedule in the No. 72 Chevrolet SS for Strike Mamba Racing with a part-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign in the No. 2 Ford F-150 for Reaume Brothers Racing. He made seven Truck Series starts, with a best finish of nineteenth at Texas Motor Speedway, before being released from the team later in the year.
In the ARCA Menards Series West, Dennison closed the season with three additional starts for Strike Mamba Racing, posting a best finish at Madera Speedway. He finished eleventh in the ARCA West standings despite running only six of the season’s events. His combined efforts across the national stage and the ARCA ladder gave him valuable seat time heading into the 2026 calendar, where a Talladega ARCA start and a Phoenix ARCA West start are already on his verified schedule.
Looking ahead, Dennison’s outlook hinges on securing stable funding and a consistent ride. His versatility, his established YouTube audience, and his growing list of national starts make him an attractive candidate for owner-operators looking for a driver who can promote a small team. Continued progress in the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA West, and a potential return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series remain the most likely paths for the next chapter of his career.
