Before racing at Borger's Speedway, Kim and her family spent every Saturday night camping at a
Flying Dutchman in Pine Grove, PA where they raced Quads on Sundays. Kim won a couple of
track championships and District 6 championships in the Woman's class there. She then moved to
racing with the guys in 4stroke C, finishing 5th overall. The following year, she moved up to
4stoke B, finishing 3rd in points! Then, Kim got the opportunity to drive long time friend, Jay
Hartman's slingshot at Borger's Speedway approximately 5 years ago. A week later, her parents
came home with a Yellow slingshot for her.
Over a 2-1/2 year period racing a slingshot she had 6 wins and many heat race wins. She finished
10th her first year in points (only raced half the year), 4th her 2nd year, and 2nd place her last
year in slingshots. She then got the opportunity to try her Uncles, Paul Richards, 270cc micro
sprint. There were some mechanical problems that night but she at least was able to get the feel of
a micro. The following week, Jesse Hartman gave her the chance to driver his Warren Mading #4s
micro at Borger's. Only her 2nd time in a micro...and she WON the rookie heat race AND the
feature! She was then offered a full ride by car owner Chuck Clark driving his RTS #4t4 car. She
raced 1 year in the rookie class finishing 5th in points. The following year, Kim moved up to the
Regular division racing with the "Big Boys." She earned herself a feature win and many heat race
wins, finishing 4th overall...rigth behind her husband.
Kim has had the opportunity to drive for Akos Sule/Chuck Clark in a TQ Midget in Atlantic City
in early 2007. Kim was 52nd fastest out of 110 racers. Kim qualified to the C main and was
involved in a wreck which put her out of the race.
Not many woman get the opportunity to drive a race car with their husband and brother and
sometimes Uncle, so Kim and her family really enjoy loading up the trailer and heading to the
races every Saturday night! For all of you that wonder about the husband-wife situation on the
track...Kim says, "When we are out there, we treat each other like anyone else. And if he passes
me...No, he doesn't have to sleep on the couch!"
