Kelly, not only out performed her own expectations in her racing abilities, she has perplexed her friends, and racing colleagues that she can drive with a competitive spirit. Kelly has accomplished numerous podium finishes this year with the brass to prove it!

Although she has had her share of sitting out due to mechanical failures and not finishing races, she continually strives at being the best she can in adverse conditions. Kelly experienced, a collision which almost ended her racing career earlier on in the season. Continual changes to the car set ups, engine malfunctions, stormy weather conditions, coupled with being a first time open wheel driver, has made her the class of the field.
