During the Sept. 25-27 Super Chevy Show at Bristol Dragway,
Pro Mod racer Ken Walsh will lock up the 2009 Nitro Coupe championship,
something that should come as no surprise to anyone who knows him.
For the 28-year-old, racing has been a way of life for as long as he
can remember. In fact, his nickname, “The Kid,” comes from his time
spent at race tracks while at a young age. His 1963 Corvette leads the
Nitro Coupe charge to Thunder Valley, and when he leaves, Walsh will
own his second consecutive class championship.
Walsh’s father instilled the car bug in his son, taking him to drag races at an early age.
