Meet Trever Kirkland:

Our team is based in Helena, Montana and goes back for three generations. My grandfather, Bob Kirkland, raced in the 50's around Montana. My father, Chris Kirkland and my uncle, Stu Kirkland, raced in the 70's. They traveled to Missoula, Great Falls, Billings, Belgrade and Helena with Stu piloting one of the first sprint cars to run in Montana.

I started driving race cars at the age of 17 and have just completed my twelfth year of racing. My first season, 1997, I drove a Street Stock. In 1998, I drove three race cars...a Street Stock, a Mini Sprint and a Super Stock. In 1999, I made the leap to Late Models and competed in that division for three years. In 2002 I got my first Sprint Car and have continued to race the TK37 Sprint Car for seven years. We are now one of the top teams in Montana have consistently had a very competitive and winning racing team. We have several Feature wins and are consistantly a Top 5 BSST team. In the last few years we have raced throughout the Northwest including Washington, Alberta, Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana. In 2010, our plans are for the TK37 Trever Kirkland Sprint Team to challenge for a Big Sky Sprint Tour Championship and race ASCS Rocky Mountain races and regional shows throughout the Northwest.
