Knight started racing in 2008, at the age of 12.  2015 will be Knight’s 5th season racing dirt crate late models and he is determined to make it his best season yet.  During Knight’s 2014 racing season, he was in a bowfishing accident and out of racing for 2 months recovering.  Instead of letting the accident define him and end all of his hopes and dreams of becoming a professional racer in the NASCAR circuit, Knight grabbed his racing career by the horns and hoped back behind the wheel more determined than ever to make his dreams come true. “After my accident, I had one of two choices, to leave the racing world or to become the best driver I can be,” said Knight.  I choose to continue chasing my dreams in the racing world and I know now more than ever that I can make them come true.” For more information on Cla Knight Racing, please visit www.claknight.com.
