He began his consistent winning streak at the age of 18. Dink dominated the dirt tracks racking up over 250 wins. He demonstrated ultimate sportsmanship with clean driving on the track. He started from the pole position at the 1955 running of the Wilkes County 160 (now the First Union 400) finishing 19th in that race. Widenhouse had a successful racing career at the Charlotte fairgrounds, Midland, Concord, Myrtle Beach and Columbia, SC and Danville Virginia. He speaks highly of his mechanic "Greaseball Young".
