Car owners
Dale Canterbury & Tina Wine - Dale and Tina steped up in 2005 when on opening night an unfortunate accident destroyed Kenny's brand new car. Dale contacted Kenny that night and asked him to drive his car that was not quite ready for Kalamazoo but had been recently purchased. We finshed the 05 season with Dale & Co. and the rest is history. Dale has raced himself for four years without much help and now he feels like he is part of a winning team with Kenny. Dale is the owner of D&R Construction of Battle Creek.

Brian Whitney resides in Kalamazoo and is married to his wife Terry. He is responsible for keeping everyone in line as well as worrying sick about the car (though Kenny tries his best to keep him calm).

His dedication and love for the sport has elevated Kenny to becoming a track champion in the Factory Stock Division (2000, 2001) and a track champion in the Limited Late Division in 2006.
