Kyle Cooper drives the #12 Young Guns Class car.  His home track is Cherokee Super Speedway but he can also be found racing at Thunder Valley Speedway, Harris Motor Speedway and Riverside Speedway. He lives in Lyman, SC.

Kyle started racing in 2005 in the Young Guns Class at Riverside Speedway and Harris Motor Speedway because his Dad had raced for 16 years and Kyle had always loved racing.  His first win was on March 18, 2006 in the Young Guns Class at Riverside Speedway.  Career highlights include 8 wins in his opening season.

The thrill of racing for Kyle is something that he and his Dad can do together.  His most exciting racing moment was on May 6, 2006 he won the race backwards in the wall.  He's most proud that twice in '06 both he and his Dad won at Riverside Speedway the same night.

Kyle's racing hero is his Dad, Brett Cooper, 84 Super Stock 4.

Of racing, Kyle says, "It is awesome!".
