Biography[]

Between the ages of 24 to 31, Utsman competed in 3,558.9 miles (5,727.5 km) and 5304 laps of racing. Most of Utsman's rides were with the 1962 Ford Galaxie bearing the #6 number. Utsman was related to fellow drivers Dub Utsman, John Utsman, Larry Utsman, and Layman Utsman, who have all retired from driving in NASCAR competitions. Utsman's only top five finish came at the 1962 Confederate 200, which took place on August 3, 1962 at the Boyd Speedway in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Utsman was also a NASCAR owner/driver with him having legal ownership of a stock car in three different races. Utsman drove the race car twice and Joe Weatherly drove one of his vehicles at an untitled race at Speedway Park in Jacksonville, Florida on December 1, 1963.
