    Keith spoke with the medical personnel at Eldora when my friend and I was hit with a sprint car axle in the infield during 4 crown. He made sure they got to us fast. What a true gentleman. I'll always be a KKM fan.

    Thanks for this USAC. These videos are always neat to see the operations side of racing

    The logistics of what is involved to run teams of the magnitude is beyond my comprehension

    My mum told me as a kid, "motorsport is like having a hole in the backyard and shoveling money into it". 😂. But how much fun can you have doing that 😁. Best to go racing 😄

    Keith was a new midget owner back with only a couple years running, back in 1996, when I was General Manager for Esslinger Engineering. Keith was running our motors back then, and though I only spoke to him a couple times, he was always a class act. I think KKM was one of Dan and Dwayne Esslinger's favorite teams back then. I'd love to see my grand sons earn a seat in a KKM car one day.

    I cannot imagine having the kind of money it takes to fund an operation like this! I need to win the lottery

    This team is amazing. I'm curious. Do race winnings and sponsors cover the cost of such a large operation? Does Keith Kunz subsidies the remaining balance? I'm guessing the cost aren't all covered and it's a passion by a man who has the means.

      At his level, everything is covered by sponsors

      The losses have to be astronomical! Usually business owners will use racing as a write off. Let's face it, the purses haven't changed in 30 years, but the cost of racing has quadrupled easily. Kieth has to love midget racing, because this is definitely not a money making sport!
