Kelly Cagle began racing in 1974 at the age of six when his father put him in the seat of his first go-kart. Kelly raced go-karts through out the United States in the WKA and IKF until 1982 when at the age of fourteen he drove his first stock car. Kelly’s father put him straight into the elite class of dirt stock car racing, the late model class. Kelly raced dirt late models nationally as well as numerous local events where he accumulated over 137 feature wins.

Kelly also has over 10 years experience as a track General Manager/Promoter. Kelly spent time as a track preparation tech, flagman and technical director before being promoted to a General Manager/Promoter.

In 2000, Kelly's father was diagnosed with pancreatic and colon cancer. Within a few months of the diagnosis, Kelly’s best friend ,as well as his mentor had passed away. In June of 2000 Kelly married Carollene English of Victoria Texas. After years of living in Mississippi Kelly moved to Texas. In 2001, Kelly had planned on returning to racing, but Carollene was diagnosed with cancer. Kelly refused to return to racing as he felt his place was by the side of his wife during her numerous surgeries and treatment. Carollene has now received a clean bill of health, which Kelly has taken as a green light to begin restructuring his racing career. Kelly will be starting from scratch, but given the drive, determination, and experience of not just Kelly, but his wife Carollene there is NO doubt that Kelly will again establish a winning team.
