Kyle Smith

Meet Kyle Smith, a drag race driver whose passion for speed was ignited at a young age amidst the thunderous roar of Funny Cars. Born into a family deeply entrenched in the world of drag racing, Kyle's childhood was filled with the sights and sounds of high-octane machinery.


Unlike many of his peers, Kyle's journey to the driver's seat was far from conventional. While other racers cut their teeth in Junior Dragsters and spent countless hours honing their skills in bracket cars, Kyle took a different path. With less than ten passes under his belt in any bracket car, he defied the norm and charted his own course to fulfill his lifelong dream of piloting a Funny Car.


For Kyle, the turning point came when he received a graduation gift like no other: the opportunity to climb behind the wheel of his father's 41 Willy’s Pro Mod. With adrenaline coursing through his veins, he made a few launches down the strip, and from that moment on, he was hooked.


Fueled by sheer determination and a hunger for speed, Kyle's rise through the ranks of drag racing was swift and electrifying. With each pass, he honed his craft, mastering the art of precision and control at blistering speeds.


Today, Kyle Smith stands as a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. From his unconventional beginnings to his relentless pursuit of excellence on the track, he continues to inspire a new generation of racers to chase their dreams with unwavering determination. With each race, he proves that with enough grit and determination, anything is possible in the world of drag racing.
