Kim Scheffler Bennett

I was born in St Joseph, Michigan on January 12, 1968. Growing up on a large produce farm, I was taught that with hard work and perseverance you can accomplish anything. One more thing I learned was that I could get dirty and still be a girl. Later on in my childhood, my family helped out at a motorcross track in South West, MI. Here is where I fell in love with the smell of fuel and oil and the sight of speed.

After attending Michigan Lutheran High School (St. Joe, MI) for three years, my family moved to Florida. I graduated from Auburndale High School (Auburndale, FL) with honors. After going to Florida Southern College on a basketball scholarship, I moved back to Michigan.

In 1991, we moved back to Florida. I coached volleyball and girls basketball at Auburndale High School up until 1998. When my racing started to include a lot of travel, I had to choose. I've been racing for over five years now. My racing goal for the year 2000 was to receive Rookie of the Year and win the Points Championship in the P.A.R.T.S. Pro Truck Series. We also competed in the SARA Late Model  Series and the FASTRUCK Series.  After capturing the "Rookie" title and finishing 6th in national points, we had a great year in racing. One day I will race in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and be the first female to win a NASCAR race.

On a more personal note, I enjoy playing beach volleyball and basketball. My favorite color is purple (that is a hard one to guess). I have two dogs at home - a standard poodle and a white shepherd. But most of all, I enjoy hearing from my fans!

A SPECIAL THANKS & MUCH GRATITUDE

I want to thank my  family and fans  for being there from the beginning. To all my friends and sponsors for their loyal support, a great big "Thank you!" But most of all, I thank God for giving me this talent and the opportunity to race.

And to all who read this, Thank you, and remember to always "Go for all your dreams"!!
