About KCP Racing

Founded in 2013 by Bret Nehring and Matthew Barbara, KCP Racing was born from a shared vision to build a premier sprint car organization capable of competing at the highest levels of dirt track racing.

What started as a focused effort quickly evolved into a powerhouse. Based in the heart of sprint car country, the team rapidly established its dominance through a string of regional victories and a standout record at the legendary Knoxville Raceway. Their success at "The Sprint Car Capital of the World" served as the ultimate proving ground, cementing KCP Racing’s reputation as a team that thrives under pressure and high-stakes competition.

A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

Since transitioning to the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in 2018, KCP Racing has become synonymous with elite talent and technical precision. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our track record of identifying and elevating top-tier drivers:

  • Ian Madsen: Captured Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year honors in 2018.
  • Gio Scelzi: Continued the winning tradition, securing Rookie of the Year honors in 2023.

THE 2026 CAMPAIGN: A NEW ERA

In 2026, KCP Racing is embarking on its most ambitious season yet. We are thrilled to hit the road for the full World of Outlaws tour with one of the most exciting talents in the sport, Sheldon Haudenschild. Known for his aggressive rim-riding style and "never-back-down" attitude, Sheldon joins KCP Racing as we hunt for podiums and the championship crown.
