He has been racing motorcycles ever since he was 19.
He started in motocross, but was told he was too old to go to nationals.
He then turned to drag racing.
His first team was with T.
J.
Hofmeister on the Mr.
Turbo Funny Bike team from 1981-1986.
Kent didn't start his own racing team, Stotz Racing, until 1992.
That was the beginning of his dynasty.
Since the time that Stotz Racing was started, Kent Stotz has won 4 AMA Prostar Street Bike Shootout National Championships, broken the speed record numerous times, and trained his son, Frank Stotz, as his successor.
