ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Kyle Steffens has raced nearly everything on every surface. Whether it’s late models on asphalt, modifieds on dirt, midgets, silver crown, you name it, Steffens has wheeled it with the best in the sport.
The 26-year-old St. Louis native made his Chili Bowl Nationals debut in Tulsa, Okla., at the beginning of the 2010 season and immediately made an impression. Steffens looks to further impress the motorsports community when he enters the 25th Annual Chili Bowl Nationals Jan. 11-15, 2011 with Pocahontas, Ill.-based Daum Motorsports.
Steffens, a graduate of Lindenwood University who also attended the University of Missouri for three years, has been racing since he was five, earning more than 100 feature wins in several series. The Chili Bowl has been won by some of the biggest name in the sport, including Tim McCreadie, Tony Stewart, Sammy Swindell, Dave Blaney, and Rich Vogler. Steffens hopes to earn that honor and ascend to legend status.
“Running the Chili Bowl is an emotional race, especially when it is something you have always wanted to do,” Steffens said. “Being a stock car guy, it is kind of out of the norm, but also coming from the Silver Crown side it isn’t.
“Last year never driving a midget, and going to that race was a huge challenge, but running second to Darren Hagen on my prelim night in the heat race really showed I had what it would take.”
Racing for Zach Daum and Daum Motorsports also represents a high point for Steffens, as the two have been friends since the earliest days of their respective racing careers.
“It means a lot to race for Zach and Dan Daum,” Steffens said. “They are great people and also have stellar equipment. I have known them from the quarter midget days and Zach is a close friend of mine. I am looking forward to working with them at the 2011 Chili Bowl and see what we can accomplish this year.”
Daum is the 2007 POWRi Series Midget Rookie of the Year and is the reigning USAC Midget Series Rookie of the Year and also has an extensive racing background.
