John Kamm

#5K

John Kamm drives the #5K 600cc Mini Sprint Class car.  His home track is   I-30 Speedway but he can also be found racing at Central Arkansas Speedway.  He lives in Benton, AR.

Team members helping John are:  All the guys from MSMSA, especially Dusty, Tim, Jeremy and Jason.  Chuck Kamm - Dad, is the car owner.

John started racing in 2007 in the 600cc Mini Sprint Class at I-30 Speedway and Central Arkansas Speedway because he got tired of watching it and he'd like to have a career in NASCAR.  Career highlights include 2 top 10 finishes, 1 Hard Charger Trophy, with only 12 races under his belt!

The thrill of racing for John is going fast, handling the car.  Doing what the older, more experienced drivers are doing.  His most exciting racing moment was having cars flip right in front of him and receiving the Hard Charger Trophy and not knowing about it!  He's most proud of receiving the Hard Charger Trophy, in his short career, and going up against the top drivers at the tracks and surviving.

John's racing hero is Kyle Busch.

Of racing, John says, "It is fun!  It's also more work than I thought.  It's also a lot different being out on the track in the thick of it than up in the stands watching like I used to do!".
