3. KELLY BIRES BIO
Kelly Bires is one of the more sought-after, up-and-coming drivers in
NASCAR. The Wisconsin native has earned serious credentials as he’s
meticulously worked his way up the racing ranks. Kelly proved his worth
early as a national champion karter and as the 2001 Allison Legacy Car
Series champion. But when he won the 2006 ASA Late Model Series
championship with nine wins, he caught the attention of NASCAR,
earning himself a Truck Series ride in 2007, and his first Nationwide
Series start, where he finished a surprising seventh.
Since then Kelly has racked up many more top-10 finishes with
numerous teams and caught the eye of Dale Earnhardt Jr., leading to a
six-race Nationwide run for JR Motorsports over the 2009 and 2010
seasons in the extremely visible driver’s seat of the No. 88 Chevrolet. In
2011, Kelly made two starts for Joe Gibbs Racing in the familiar #18 car.
He posted an 8th place finish at Chicago after leading laps and ran out of
gas with 2 to go.
The future looks bright for Kelly as his past success on the track has won
him valuable seat time in his ambitious quest to join the elite ranks in
NASCAR.
