Welcome to MK Racing, I started racing go-karts in 2004 with my mom and dad. My first race was at Miller Park in a SCCA timed event where I picked up my first of many wins in my go-kart at similar events around the Midwest. In 2007 we bought an INEX Bandolero, which was a major step up from the go-karts. I also formed MK Racing which stands for Mr. Kyle, a nickname I’ve had since I was a young child. 2007 was a great rookie season for me, I learned a lot from the other drivers by following their lines. Although my first season wasn’t without incident it was still a great year. I took rookie of the year honors as well as finishing fourth in points as the Milwaukee mile’s summer shootout. 2008 brought with it a sense of renewed strength as I finished second in the first race. The very next race at the Milwaukee Mile was a turning point in my racing career. I won my first heat race and then started last in the feature, and within the first three laps I was in the lead and I never looked back picking up my first victory in a Bandolero. Milwaukee treated me well with three more feature wins and two heat race wins and eventually winning the summer shootout championship. I went back to Rockford speedway after a short break from the track. My first week back I finished second in the feature. I had consistent second place finishes every week until I captured my first clean sweep at Rockford with a heat and feature race win. I won another heat race at the last race where I captured my second championship title. These wins and great finishes helped me gain my most prestigious title of the 2008 Wisconsin Bandolero Outlaws championship. I was invited down to the national banquet in North Carolina to get my trophy. In 2009 we purchased a legends car, it was a big stepping stone for me as I was not used to this much power before. It was defiantly a tough rookie year for me with a crash at Rockford and a blown motor at Madison. However, we fought back to win rookie of the year honors and a 10th place points finish at Madison international speedway. I also finished 181st in national points out of over 500 drivers which is an achievement on its own. 2010 has been a good sophomore year so far with all of my races finishing in the top 10 until I blew my second motor which in the process of getting fixed.
