Jonny Kirsch #88
The Next Generation of Speed
The Rookie Sensation
For nine-year-old Jonny, speed has always been a way of life. His journey began not on asphalt, but on dirt trails, mastering 4-wheelers and developing a natural feel for handling a machine at speed. This raw passion was later refined over 1.5 years of disciplined competition in K1 racing, where he learned sophisticated racecraft, precise control, and the art of the overtake. The first time he went to a race track was at 3 years old at Sycamore Speedway in 2018.
Now, Jonny is ready to trade his kart for a stock car and step onto the big stage of the American Super Cups. He won't be doing it alone. This next chapter is a shared dream with his father, built on countless hours in the garage and a mutual love for the sport. When Jonny climbs behind the wheel of the iconic #88, he’s not just a driver; he’s the future of a family legacy.
Off the track, Jonny's competitive spirit shines on the baseball diamond. The intense focus of the batter's box and the quick reflexes of an infielder translate directly to the split-second decisions required on the track. He is a true athlete, dedicated to excelling in everything he does. Jonny's story is one of passion, dedication, and family. The engine is warm, the green flag is about to drop, and a new rookie sensation is ready to make his mark.
