Born just a mile away from the famed Riverside Raceway, Kyle Whisner began racing at age nine and was recognized by NASCAR as a veteran driver by seventeen. He developed his skills on Southern California’s toughest short tracks, building and racing cars alongside his late father, who helped establish their family team, KWM. Kyle also built a career in the film industry as a host, actor, and behind-the-scenes creative—using his talents to stay connected to motorsports through media, storytelling, and on-camera work.

After moving to North Carolina, Kyle became a major manufacturer precision driver, lead mechanic, and instructor for the Richard Petty Driving Experience. He trained military and law enforcement in EVOC and tactical driving while working with top manufacturers on iconic tracks nationwide. Kyle has worked across ARCA, Truck, Xfinity, and Cup teams—gaining hands-on experience both in the shop and at the track, helping him understand what it takes to win.

Recently, Kyle has returned to competition in select NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck, ARCA, and late model events—racing with purpose and giving back, alongside his partners, to support deserving children and their families at Victory Junction Camp.
