My Profile

Nineteen-year-old Kenny Elwood began racing the 600 cc Mini Sprints in March 2008. 2008 began Kenny's 12th year of racing; his past experience includes racing asphalt sprint karts for the past 9 years and go-karts on dirt tracks for 2 years.

As a member of the Brazos Mini Sprint Club this year, Kenny has proven his ability to be very competitive on a weekly basis. He received his first win in Stephenville, Tx. on April 19th, 2008 and had many Top 3 finishes after that. Even though Kenny was considered a rookie in the mini sprints, he consistently lead the points in his class getting beat out by a few points in the last event.
While racing karts, Kenny consistently led the point brackets on local and regional levels, earning several local championships and two regional championships in the last several years of karting.
In June 2006 and 2007, Kenny qualified for the TAG Racing International World Championship races in New Castle, IN, with one second-place, and two third-place finishes in his individual races at the KART National Championship races in Tulsa, OK. While at the TAG World Nationals, Kenny qualified 13th out of 25 karts. He gained up to 8th place and finished 14th after a few motor problems. Even with engine trouble Kenny was only 3/10’s of a second behind the 1st place kart, so you can see it was a very close competitive race.
Kenny is currently attending Texas State Technical College pursuing his Associates Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology while working as a machinist at Tymco, Intl in Waco, TX. Kenny also enjoys all types of racing, hunting, and, raising his dogs, Little Girl, Beretta, and June.
