Kelly Boen

 

 


Henderson, CO. - The first appearance at the Belleville High Banks revealed little in the way of future results for Kelly Boen. Despite bringing both a modified (which he had won 2 NCRA features with) and a late model, his 1999 debut did not yield a single top five finish. But, in 2000, that ALL changed.

The "Henderson Hotshoe" dropped in for the July 2nd NCRA late model show in Belleville. Passing points put Boen on the outside pole, which he used to grab the early lead. But after a mid-race caution and a change in his groove, Kelly dropped to second. As the top two sped around the historical oval, lapped traffic gave Boen his opportunity to retake the lead and his first victory on the High Banks.

Since that night, the #07 has become the winningest late model in history at Belleville. Kelly and the RoadRunner Fabrication team have accumulated 48 wins on the NCRA circuit, an all-time record, and 4 titles. They have claimed the series checkered flags from MLRA, WDRL, TORA, and his biggest win to date, the 2008 World of Outlaws show on July 20th, here at the High Banks.

The 2010 schedule has seen Kelly compete in Florida in February, Oklahoma in March, and Nebraska in May. We know we will see him in June and September, returning to one of his favorite tracks, and a city that has adopted the charismatic racer.

Congratulations and Good Luck Kelly!!
