Motor Program Announced

Kevin Patrick Racing has acquired two Kuntz and Company open late model engines, the legendary Ford Power Racing V8 engine will serve as the exclusive powerplant for our venture into UMP, and MARS competition for at least the 2010 season.

The Kuntz and Company engines will only enhance our motor program. With two Penzo Performance Chevy IMCA Spec 360 racing engines already within our group. We also plan to run as many Show-Me series events with our Spec motors in an effort to control the rising operational costs for the team.

"We are delighted that we can construct such an engine program,” said Kevin Patrick. “This is the first of what we expect will be a number of positive moves that KPR will take into the 2010 racing season. and we are delighted to take the first step with companies as impressive as Kuntz and Company, and Penzo Performance."

The new engines are scheduled to be ready well before preseason testing begins for the 2010 campaign.

Welcome

....Welcome to the Kevin Patrick Racing (KPR) Web Site. We are a Professional Dirt Late Model Race Team. Our race program and shop is centered in Gentry, Arkansas. We plan to contend in the SMRS (Show-Me Racin Series) and UMP (United Midwest Promoters) sanctioned events for 2010. KPR, is committed to the 2010 season, we are building one team, with a motor program that inventories no less then four motors. The team will also have one back up chassis’s at the shop ready for use if needed in 2010. "The reality is we ran in the top 20 in points in previous years with both KPR race teams and we feel it could have been better, changes are going to be made". KPR, is one of many small Dirt Late Model teams being squeezed during this economic crisis. Sponsorship is extremely difficult to find, and operating costs in a Dirt Late Model Program are at an all-time high. Without outside funding or a merger with another team KPR may have to limit their racing footprint to the Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri area. KPR said the team is close on several Sponsorship possibilities. The team has no current sponsorship for next season. But a merger with another small Late Model Team is still being considered and may be the most logical step at this time. The team has a technical coalition with Bill Frye Racing, and the agreement most likely will carry into 2010. As the team searches for new partnerships, KPR plans to start the season with Ford Power, and driver Kevin Patrick in the No. 13. We also believe the team can fill a 20 race SMRS (Show-Me Racin Series) and UMP (United Midwest Promoters) program commitment.

KPR - Lease Program

Our team and equipment is available for an all inclusive lease, with regard to the 2010 Show-Me, Mars, and Ump Series Events. You show up with your helmet and driving equipment (approved driving suit, Hans device, etc.) and you go racing. Our team and race cars are first class and capable of winning every time we leave the shop. This is how we run the team. We are 100% hands on and we do everything for you including: Driver / Team Pre-Race Meeting, Crew Chief will cover our car’s safety features, explain how to exit and enter track and pits, how we'll communicate with you in the car, and most importantly how to pass and race other cars on the track. We “care about you” which is not necessarily the norm within other lease programs. This is not a race team that just puts you in the car and says "Let’s see what you can do" or “Cross our fingers and hope for the best.” We help you win.

We do have a crash clause. Crashing is part of racing and if you happen to crash, we fix and repair the car to the best of our abilities at our cost. If we cannot repair the car in house we will have the car or parts repaired or replaced from ‘Bill Frye Racing’ or ‘Rage Chassis Racing Shop’ and the invoice is passed on to you at cost.

Testing:

Testing is priced according to the testing venue (logistics) and track surface (tire usage) plus 15 % to the costs. A good guide is about $500 to $1000 dollars per test again depending upon the track surface and location and the days spent at the facility. So again, to be fair we price testing at our costs plus 15% and total it up. Should you have any additional questions, feel free to call my cell or email.
