Kile to make Nationwide debut at Nashville in Braun Racing's No. 10

Posted on 3/25/2010

MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Braun Racing has announced that ARCA driver Mikey Kile will make his Nationwide Series debut at Nashville Superspeedway, driving the No. 10 Toyota.

"We are very happy to have Mikey join our lineup of talented drivers this season," owner Todd Braun said. "He is a talented young driver and we look forward to working with him as he takes this next step in his career. I expect good things for him in the future."

Kile made his NASCAR debut last season driving a partial schedule in the Camping World Series for Brad Keselowski Racing. In six starts, the 27-year-old accumulated three top-15 finishes. Additionally, Kile competed in eight ARCA events for Venturini Motorsports, posting four top-10 finishes. This season, Kile has returned to Venturini Motorsports for his first full season of competition in ARCA.

Kile, a Westlake, La., native, cut his teeth racing go-karts at local tracks throughout his home state. He progressed to modifieds and late models, capturing numerous victories and awards along the way.

"I can't ask for a better situation than to take this step in my career with a proven team like Braun Racing," Kile said. "This is an outstanding organization, with first-rate equipment and an extremely talented crew and staff. I'm looking forward to working with veteran crew chief Stewart Cooper and the entire No. 10 crew. Stewart has experience in working with young, up-and-coming drivers, so I know he will be a good mentor for me as I step into these uncharted waters."
