Default KB Pro-Stock Racing

Kenny Black, KB Racing Team owner, suffered a massive stroke here in LV 3 weeks ago and isn't doing well at all. It's very sad actually to see such a big statured man and great guy suffering so intensly. I wanted to go visit Kenny in the hospital, but his family has limited visitation to family only.

Kenny's team and especially driver, Greg Anderson, reset the bar in ProStock racing in recent years. I'm unsure about the future for KB Racing, but Kenny will be missed by everyone, including his competitors.

Kenny suffered high blood pressure for years and I hope he is able to recover from all this setback. I've known him for 25 years and he's a strong guy, so if it's possible for anyone to beat this sorta thing...it would be him. All we can do for now is light a couple candles and keep our fingers crossed.

I remember a couple years ago when Kenny's 2 PS race cars ranked overall 1st & 2nd in the NHRA National standings...hard to imagine!

It was amazing, considering how competitive, and close, the racing is in PS.

Sorry to hear about Kenny Steve. Sounds like you two are very close. Hopefully you can get into see him in the near future as I think this would do him a lot of good.

Our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. He obviously enjoys his racing judging from his enthusiasm on the starting line. Professional racing at that level can use all the support it can get right now so let's hope Kenny Black can get back to the track and most importantly that the 'therapy' will do him some good.

One thing for sure; he has a good friend there in Las Vegas.


Good to see 'LVCamaro' droppin in again.
