Kaley Gharst – Looking for a Good Ride!
by: Bill WrightKNOXVILLE, IA (June 26) – Last weekend Kaley
reached a couple of Milestones. He celebrated his birthday, and turned the
ripe old age of 20! Second, he agreed to part with Bruce Williams and the
#7K sprint car team after a successful run. Now he is looking for a quality,
competitive sprint car ride.
“No one is leaving on harsh terms,” says Kaley, who partnered with Williams
for almost two years. “I’d like to thank Bruce Williams and the whole team
for all the good times we’ve had. I just wanted to get this word out so that
there wouldn’t be rumors that there are any hostilities between us. We had a
lot of success together. We have been struggling and it was just time for
both of us to move on and try something else.”
In 2007, Kaley won twelve races including three 410 shows, a 360 Nationals
preliminary, the Brodix Tournament of Champions and the Bob Wente Classic at
the Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, Illinois. He was also the Sprint
Invaders Association series champion on the strength of seven victories. In
his young career, he has already won fifteen times in a sprint car, has
three Knoxville 410 wins to his credit, and has won the Knoxville Raceway
and Knoxville Nationals Rookie of the Year honors.
The talented native of Decatur, Illinois will probably not be on the
sideline long. “I’d love to partner with anyone who has the desire we do to
get to victory lane,” he says. “I think we proved at Donnellson last week
that we can get that done when given the opportunity.”
