KJC Racing

Happy Easter from the KJCRacing team!!

We're happy to have Cobblestone Hotel & Suites in Eaton, OH offering our racers a special rate for the 2026 Racing Season. If you're spending the night there for an event at G&J Kartway, use code "G&JKART" for a $119/night room rate.

We know it’s been a little while since we’ve posted, but we wanted to share an update and get this page active again!

We did it! In our very first year as team owners, with a first-year driver and first-year mechanic, we WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP! What an incredible season it was.

A huge thank you to our home track, G&J, for allowing us to come out whenever we needed seat time and practice throughout the season. We’re also extremely grateful to Ray Mckibben and Craig Bogan for being two of the few people willing to take a chance on us and help us grow our knowledge and experience across different karts. That support meant everything.

This journey has truly been a blessing. We didn’t come from a racing family and had very little experience in karting. Kyler’s background was mostly racing video games and getting on the sim around 2022, with only a handful of rental kart sessions before this. To go from that… to owning our own race team and winning a championship in our very first year is honestly unreal.

There were plenty of ups and downs, but in the end, we came out on top as the FIRST ever AEKL X-4 Heavy Class Champion. That’s a moment we’ll never forget.

We also want to give a huge thank you to our main sponsor last season, Alyssa Smith, for believing in us and helping make this goal possible.

We’ve officially kicked off our 2026 season in Miami, and it was an awesome experience. Kyler was gifted a front brake upgrade kit from Blue Shock Race, allowing us to compete this season in the X-5 class with a 44hp machine now equipped with front brakes. Miami was Kyler’s first time ever driving a kart with front brakes, so it was a big learning experience. We didn’t finish where we wanted to, but we’re coming back stronger and more determined for the rest of the season.

Next up: Whiteland Raceway Park in Indianapolis. We’re excited and ready to get back to work!

KJC Racing is beyond proud to celebrate Kyler’s FIRST 1st place win in the AEKL championship at Oakland Valley Race Park-Hannen Motorsports! Your dedication, skill, and determination have truly paid off, and we couldn’t be more excited to see you on the top step of the podium. 4 podiums in 4 races is spectacular from a novice in this sport!!!🔥⚡️

Keep pushing the limits, Kyler! This is just the beginning!🚀

We want to take a moment to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported KJC Racing, both past and present. Your encouragement, energy, and belief in us keep us pushing forward every single day!

A special shoutout to our incredible sponsor Alyssa Smith Glasshouse Realty Group, for your unwavering belief in our team. Your support means the world to us!!

We’re also grateful for our amazing partner Blue Shock Race and the fantastic support team they send all the way from Latvia-some of the greatest people we’ve had the pleasure to work with.

And of course, we couldn’t do this without the ongoing encouragement from Ohio Valley Karting Association, Oakland Valley Race Park, Shockt, and Kinetix-Racing Syndicate!
Your support helps us chase our dreams and reach new heights.

Thank you for being part of the KJC Racing family!🏁🏁💙
