Mikey Kile to Make Nationwide Debut at Nashville

ARCA driver Mikey Kile was confirmed by Braun Racing as the driver for the No. 10 Toyota at Nashville Superspeedway. Kile moves to Nationwide after he made his NASCAR debut in 2009, driving a few races in the Camping World Series for Brad Keselowski Racing.

"We are very happy to have Mikey join our lineup of talented drivers this season," owner Todd Braun said according to NASCAR. "He is a talented young driver and we look forward to working with him as he takes this next step in his career. I expect good things for him in the future."

Kile talent turned in 2009 into three top-15 finishes, out of the six starts. Prior to the Camping series entry, Kile raced in eight ARCA events for Venturini Motorsports, managing to add four top-10 finishes to his name. For 2010, the 27-year old driver will again be racing for Venturini Motorsports in the full ARCA season.

"I can't ask for a better situation than to take this step in my career with a proven team like Braun Racing," Kile said.

"This is an outstanding organization, with first-rate equipment and an extremely talented crew and staff. I'm looking forward to working with veteran crew chief Stewart Cooper and the entire No. 10 crew. Stewart has experience in working with young, up-and-coming drivers, so I know he will be a good mentor for me as I step into these uncharted waters."
