Kyle started racing in 1997 in the Jr. Cycle I Go Kart class at Hilltop Raceway and Huffman Raceway Park because his Dad raced in the early '90's and Kyle loved it.  His first win was in '98 in Karting at Hilltop Raceway and in '07 in the E-Mod Class at West Siloam Speedway.  Career highlights include '98 Rookie of the Year in Karting placing 2nd overall, 23 Karting Feature wins, '01 Texas State Champion in 4 Cycle Jr. 1 Light, Top 5 Mid Season Points in Super Stock in first year, 2 Feature wins in E-Mod in'07, Top 10 Points in '06 and '07 in E-Mod and a documentary done on him called "Rush".

The thrill of racing for Kyle is the adrenaline rush he gets from the speed.  His most exciting racing moment was winning 5 out of 6 races in one night in International Karting Federation in Junior 1 Light and Heavy.  Starting 23rd at Crawford County Speedway in the Touring Economy Modified Series race and finishing 5th on the small track.  He's most proud of being fortunate enough to move up to this level of racing and doing as well as he has with the equipment he has.

Kyle's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Of racing, Kyle says, "I would say that it is a lot of fun and can bring family's closer to each other.  It is also great to meet new friends at the track - both male and female!".
