Kevin Conway comes from a very diverse racing background. Having competed in AMA Motocross, WKA go-karts, INEX Legends Cars, Super Late Models, ASA, ARCA Remax Series, USAC Midgets and Silver Crown, NASCAR Grand National West and now the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Kevin is poised to continue his winning ways. With 37 victories in motocross, winning a National Dirt event in his first ever start in WKA go-karts and racking up numerous wins over two seasons, it was on to the INEX Legends Car Series where in his first season he became (at the time) the youngest National Champion in series history at the age of 15. Kevin also won the Summer Shoot-Out Series Championship, Young Lion Award, Mid-Atlantic Pro Division Championship, Lowe’s Motor Speedway Track Championship along with 28 wins and 11 track records in the INEX Legends Car Series. In Super Late Models Kevin had four (4) top-five finishes in his first five starts in the very competitive“Big 10 Series”. After a brief stint in Super Late Models, Kevin moved into the ASA Series where he was on track to capture the Rookie of the Year title before sponsorship issues forced the team to shut down.
Kevin was very impressive in his two ARCA ReMax Series starts for NASCAR legend Ernie Irvan where in his first ever race on a mile and a half race track, Kevin qualified 5th at the Atlanta Motor Speedway and finished 13th after a cut tire forced an unscheduled pit stop while running in the second position. In his second ARCA start at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Kevin was the fastest in practice only to then have qualifying rained out. After starting 41st Kevin raced his way to a 7th place finish in the shortened event – all while competing on a shoe string budget. Kevin has also competed in the USAC Midget Series where he dominated South Boston Speedway and led every lap winning in only his third start. In the Grand National West Series, Kevin qualified on the outside pole in his first career start at the California Speedway and finished 5th.
In 2007 Kevin ran a limited schedule for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series sharing seat-time in the car with Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, Aric Almirola, and Brad Coleman. Out of seven starts Kevin had two top-5 and four top-10 finishes among Nationwide only drivers.
