| History |
Kellen got his start in full sized car racing in 2001, where he quickly proved he has the talent to get to victory lane.
In his first A Main he qualified for in a Dirt Modified, he won. He
added a rookie of the year that same year. Since then, Kellen has grown
into a star on the track, while earning the respect of fellow drivers
around the country. In 2005, Kellen got his first taste of racing Late
Models. He won his first time ever in the car and grabbed some national
headlines when he won the first ever Western Allstars race in
California.
Kellen has overcome some tough challenges during
his racing career. In 2008, he suffered serious injuries while racing
in Arizona, including fractures to bones in his neck and back. Although
the doctors were not sure if he would even walk again, Kellen showed his
toughness and told doctors he would race again. After spending 6 tough
months of mending up, rest and rehab, Kellen jumped back into a race
car, determined to do what he loves - race! |
