Don Kiger

#01

     Don Kiger modified #01 from Oakwood, IL . His home track is Vermillion County Speedway in Danville, IL, but you can catch Don anywhere there's $$$$.

     Don began racing in 1977 in the super street division. Don started racing when he hauled a load of junk cars to Boswell and the promoter gave him a car and told him to race it, and he's been doin' it ever since.

     Don's first win came in his rookie year at Boswell, IN. Don is a 3-time track champion, 1986 Farmer City modified champ and 1989 & 1990 modified champ at Charleston. He also won the Jackson 100 modified race at Brownstown, IN in 1993.

     Don's modified is a Bob Pierce chassis powered by a Collins 410. His racing hero is "The Tall Cool One" Bob Pierce, and Dale Jarrett.

     Don's greatest racing accomplishment was winning the modified "Firecracker 40" at Macon Speedway in 1989. His greatest racing thrill was starting his heat a half lap back at the Springfield Mile in 1989 and going on to win! Don's racing goal is to win a track championship at Danville before he retires.

     Don would like to thank Steve Cates, Brook Evans, Lance, Donnie and Brandon for all of the help and support.

Don's quote: "Racing is like going on a first date...sometimes you score, sometimes you don't"!
