Beginnings

[edit]

Kneeland's passion for racing came from winning three tickets to a NASCAR Winston West Series race at Sonoma Raceway in 1977. In high school, Kneeland had a '69 Camaro and was a part of the local racing scene, when he decided to try racing on a track, starting to race his Camaro and dirt modifieds.[2]
