Kevin Besecker drives the #15 Sprint Car.  His home track is Lawrenceburg Speedway but he can also be found racing at Bloomington Speedway and Gas City Speedway.  He lives in Greenville, OH.

Team members helping Kevin are:  His Dad, Rick.  Rick Besecker is the car owner.

Kevin started racing in 1982 in the Go Karts Class at 550 Raceway because his Grandfather owned race cars since 1955...it's just a way of life for Kevin's family.  His first win was in 1983 in the Go Kart class at 550 Raceway.  Career highlights include 200 + Go Kart wins, 1999 Thunder In The Dome Midget Feature winner (only driver in history to have ever won both Kart and Midget portions of this event), 2004 Lawrenceburg Speedway Sprint Car Track Champion.  He has also raced Midges, Modifieds, Late Models and Legend Cars.

The thrill of racing for Kevin is having to be on your toes and make split second decisions while trying to tame a fire breathing beast.  His most exciting racing moment was running the high banks of Winchester Speedway in the Midgets.  He's most proud that he has a reputation of showing outstanding sportsmanship.

Kevin's racing heroes are anyone who raced cars without roll cages.

Of racing, Kevin says, "It is the sport that gives you the best value for the buck, the place where you can find everyone from 3 to 93 years old enjoying themselves in the same place and the ONLY sports venue where "your heroes" can also become your friends!  No matter how bad you think you've got it or how much more you think someone else has, there is ALWAYS someone who would trade places with YOU in a heart beat!".
