The story of how it all began... Kevin started his racing career in the Kile Motorsports shop, watching crew members work on the racecars his dad was supporting. Bill Brewer, former KMS driver, encouraged Kevin to work on the racecar and it was then Kevin decided that not only did he want to be under the hood of racecars - he wanted to be behind the wheel. With a newfound love for speed and mechanics, Kevin took his ATV to the tracks at Sigourney and Des Moines to begin the sport. After just two years of racing ATVs, Kevin jumped behind the wheel of a stockcar at the West Liberty Raceway for the first time when he was barely 15. Without a feature win, but with many top 5s, Kevin took his turn in a Late Model two years later. Pulling double duty in both classes for a full season, Kevin decided to devote himself to the Late Model competition and race solely with the "Big Boys." Seven years after beginning his stockcar racing career, Kevin earned his first feature win at the CJ Raceway, Columbus Junction the first night of the season. Many feature wins later, Kevin gained his first season championship at the CJ Raceway in 2002. Kevin continued his success at the southern 3/8 mile track to become the 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2007 track champion. Although Kevin had success at the CJ Raceway, it wasn't until June 12, 2004 that his dream of winning a feature even at the toughly competitive West Liberty Raceway. Video shows Kevin taking the lead in the beginning laps of the race, shooting to the bottom of the track and around the competition. It was an emotional and exciting victory for the entire Kile Motorsports race team as brother Kurt, #77, left his car on the front stretch after his top ten finish to congratulate his brother and teammate in Victory Lane. |

What's to come... Kevin would ultimately like to race in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series along side Dale Earnhart Jr, but more locally, a Late Model Season Championship at the West Liberty Raceway would be a dream come true. "The competition [at the West Liberty Raceway] is fierce. It's the best around and if you can win there, you can win anywhere." Along with WLR Championship and Nextel Cup dreams, Kevin hopes to become a Oscar Meyer Weinermobile driver. "To travel around the country in that beast of a vehicle...I can only hope and pray that my day will come as an official Oscar Meyer Weinerepresentative. I love them hot dogs!" In the meantime, Kevin continues his career as a sales manager at Kile Motorsports and a helmet model for Simpson Racing. He continues to teach at The Kevin Kile All-Star School of Modern Dance, located in the basement of his ranch-style home in the middle of nowhere. Although, he is still accepting students in his current class of one (crew member "T-Ball" Trent Trader), he expresses his willingness to give it all up for racing or the great hot dog. "Sure, I'd miss my student, but it'd be worth it...I mean, that weinermobile is all pimped out!" |

The crew... Jesse Hall stepped back up to the plate of being a right-hand man for the Kile Motorsports racing team. A former member of the mafia and bodyguard for Celine Dion, Hall helped Kevin from the beginning. His wife, Jamie, Fredrick's of Hollywood model, supports Jesse's career as a chief crew member by wearing Kile Motorsports t-shirts and the new line of Jesse-wear apparel (t-shirts featuring Hall in his many signature poses). Jesse has also started a Captain Morgan campaign stemming from his picture on the Photos page - it will run in international computer geek - er, gaming magazines in 2009. "Jesse's got a little Cap'n in him - do you?" Brian Rozell was a former WWE professional wrestler. Under the guise of "The Rainbow Warrior," Brian won countless matches and earned the champion title belt only to lose it to his assistant and wife, Char. His success wained to due excessive beer drinking before matches and he finally retired after a severe in-grown toenail rendered him unable to compete. Rozell's fan following did not fade until an incident as the Grand Marshal in the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade, where dressed as "The Rainbow Warrior" he toppled from atop the float after being blinded by the gleaming sequins of the parade attendees' wardrobe. After a brief recovery regime of Advil and Flinestone vitamins, Brian joined the Kile Motorsports racing team. |
