Lawrence Hollenbeck (April 9, 1949 – October 8, 2020) was an American professional stock car racing driver residing in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he designed, built and leased residential and commercial properties for 35 years. He had five Busch Series starts to his credit and fielded the #71 S.W.A.T. Fitness Chevy in the ARCA RE/MAX Series.

Racing career Hollenbeck's race career began at the age of eighteen at the local drag strip. He had also raced in snowmobiles, and spent a decade racing APBA-sanctioned powerboats offshore, and three years at oval tracks racing go-carts.

His stock car career began at a short track in Florida, then he moved on to the ARCA series. In his first race with ARCA he finished in the top-ten at Winchester Speedway in 2001. In 2002, Hollenbeck received his NASCAR Busch license. Hollenbeck ran his first NASCAR Busch series race in Talladega on April 5, 2003, where he finished fifteenth.

In 2004 and 2005, Hollenbeck ran in select Busch races. It was also during this time that Hollenbeck attempted several Nextel Cup races, failing to qualify at Michigan and Atlanta in 2004.

In 2008, Hollenbeck raced in several ARCA races. In the fall race at Talladega he qualified well for the race and had sponsorship from www.boyshomeinc.org.

At the 2009 Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200, Hollenbeck and Patrick Sheltra suffered minor injuries when Hollenbeck T-boned him at about 165 miles per hour. Both were released from the hospital three days later.

Personal life Hollenbeck died on October 8, 2020.
