Austin Kirkpatrick

[Phillip Michael Knight]

Takes the win at Cherokee Speedway in the Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series.

The talk of the track though after the race, was the homemade built car that Kirkpatrick won with. Nobody had anything for him!

He probably had the best car at Smoky Mtn the night before too.

A big congrads to Austin (dumbass - inside joke)

The racing world needs more of this, where a guy uses his brain, ingenuity, and talent to show you don't have to buy your speed and that "the little guy" can compete if he has the drive and determination to chase what he desires.

I saw that Austin drove for snow brothers racing a little bit.....didn't realize that.

Any chance you've got any epj/snow brothers car pics laying around? Wouldn't mind checking them out if available.

Spot on Billy! If Marlar had not took his line away, he would have won two this weekend!

It's cool to see someone small time win, but man is that car ugly.

Anyone know what he has under the hood?

There is no tire prep that good.That car and driver was on a rail.Give the kid credit.I never heard of him.

I think I recall him saying he recently put a Clements in it, in his victory lane interview.

I believe he has an engineering degree. Got to be a smart guy with practical knowledge. He had the car at Cherokee during the short track super series northeast modified race and the track allowed him to run practice laps during the evening, so he has been working on it and making it faster.

Everytime we are at the same track, he'll ask to see photos of his car from hotlaps after the session if he sees me. He's pretty smart and a pretty good dude to boot.
