This man gets up in the morning, flavors his coffee with methanol and eats a big bowl of gearios. Racing is what he does. Even in a dog-eat-dog race like this he finishes cleanly and professionally. He eats lightning and craps thunder. He is the Man, the Myth, the Legend. He is Kevin from KSR
at first when he dropped those positions at the beginning I was devastated, but turns out he was playing the long game, let the boys smash up front and burn through their nitro.
Lots of people showed up to bang into other cars for some oval track demolition derby. Kevin showed up to RACE, kept his driving clean and took care of his car. I bet it influences more people to RACE next time. Good stuff Kev, never miss a video. Your knowledge and passion shows in everything you do.
It's just so cool that you went out there amidst the chaos and carnage, and just ran a good clean race. Looked after the car so it would be there for you at the end and took the W. It was like watching a chef work in the middle of a food fight.
I dont race...I drive a stock minivan and build wood cabinets but this was just a throughly entertaining video and everyone one involved just seems awesome. Good job.
Well that's great Mr carpenter . I always loved building wardrobes as a teenager. I'm Mexican desended. I've been working since I was 7 . I built my first one when I was 11. Man great times
You congrating madi and cleet and showing how humble you are reminded me to like the video immediately before I’ve even watched the whole thing. More than happy to be subscribed to this channel.
It is really cool to see how Cleetes opens doors for the people around him. Also, Cleetus has introduced us to some really cool people, with Kevin at the top of that list. He is like the opposite of Jeremy🤣
"THE KID FROM GAINSVILLE" showed the rest of the field (and all of us who watched the race) that he's not only a master craftsman when building cars but also knows what to do when he's behind the wheel. A very well-deserved victory!
Congrats Kevin! You deserved it! Props to Travis for killing it as the spotter as well. Felt like a cup race when he said you needed to get the W while waiting in a yellow flag restart 😂
So Kevin is clearly a incredibly talented craftsman and now his driving skills may actually be surpassing his building skills?! What a absolute Gem of a human being!
Congratulations Kevin and KSR crew! It’s great to see the “little” guy win this race full of big names! That’s what makes the experience for most of us; getting to see the “little” guys compete!
Kevin came into this race a last minute alternate...and was number two qualifier.. he let people pass him on purpose, he spent out once and after that he almost ran into a pole avoiding a crash...and mysteriously came home with the W....*BeastMode
And did it clean, too! he didn't bully anybody or spin anyone. Any time someone got an inside line on him, he just let em pass... He killed em with kindness lol I'm surprised he didn't use his blinkers the whole time!
My original pick was Derek from vgg, thought he was gonna be the sleeper in a race full of ringers. When he was taken out Kevin was next in line. He did hella job. Congrats again.
Great content, crew chief, driver, Spin outs, back in the hunt, kept nitrous for end, discipline to take the lead and keep it for many laps, great finish. Story book hero that three daughters will not forget. I am happy for you.
And to think, you almost didn't race being an alternate. Can't say that anymore. Now you've got a title to defend. What an epic performance. CONGRATS KSR!! 🏁🏁🏁
Kevin: I hope to get into the top 10... Me sittin' here after watching the whole damn thing: Congratulations on getting your wish come true you were in the Top 5, Top 3 and you friggin WON the race as well!
I could not be happier! Was telling everyone during the race...look at that...look at that! Smart race, with some amazing driving and a great move at the end to get through all the nonsense! Great job Kevin and team!
The really cool part is he has extensive experience on both sides of the car - inside and out. Im not surprised he won! congrats keep up the amazing work
You deserved this so much. I can’t believe you were so consistent. I was keeping an eye on you but I wasn’t entirely sure who was on the lead lap. You just kept to yourself and stayed low key until it cleared up, which was a great strategy! Even DeAnda and Larry Mac were surprised when all of a sudden you just surged up. Great job, and thanks for the entertainment!
Pleasure meeting you this weekend, Kevin. You seem as down to earth in person as you do on here. Thanks for the great work, and congrats on your win again!
One of the hardest working guys out there. Got your hands in a lot of different projects. Then as an alternate you come in and win it. Well done sir....now back to work! Just kidding, keep em coming!
I regret not buying the PPV now. Trust me, that won’t be happening again. I really hope everyone continues doing this and people continue to come to these events. I love seeing this track come back to life!!! Great racing Kevin, I love the safety aspect you brought to it, all while doing it in style. BRAVO!!!! You earned this bud, I mean you beat Randy Probst!!!!!!!
Congratulations mate! Well deserved and the foreshadowing with you just being happy to be there and considering a top 10 as a win in your books, and then coming out on top made this such an awesome experience to watch. Appreciate your humbleness and your words about working hard and hoping it would take you somewhere, I assure you that it'll be on-wards and upwards without a doubt!
All I gotta say is WELL DONE brother! Well deserved and a hell of a drive to the front. Wish the in-car camera didn't die because that was some good footage and I would have loved to see the last restart from inside the car. #WIN with KSR (literally)...
2 things that made me like you even more was hearing you so humble saying I am just a guy from Gainesville and Larry saying the story about your daughter. Keep up the good work.
Kevin didn't drive hard...he drove SMART as hell. He managed his assets, tires, nitrous. His placement in the pack let the real rookies waste their resources, then went in for the KILL It was a BRILLIANT strategy. I don't know him personally (but wish I did) as I admire the meticulous work he turns out in his shop. He is a low-key genius, who's actions and results do all the speaking for him. CONGRATULATIONS Kevin. My hat is off to you Sir.
Kevin, Congratulations for winning the Freedom 500!! You showed the field just how fast you were qualifying on the outside of the front row next to a freaking NASCAR driver on short track oval that alone give you some serious bragging rights but then you drove a masterfully thought out race which not only included having the forethought and patience to save your car for most of the race but presents of mind and self discipline not to lose your cool when you were spun out and ended up at the back of the pack. While some drivers who I won't mention buy name lost their mind when they got rubbed hard or spun out you saw it as an opportunity to stay out of others peoples messes and save your car for which thanks to your skill as a driver, along with help from your spotter Travis and a little bit of lady luck were able to drive though the field and take the checked flag in convincing fashion. You and your crew deserve some serious madd props for winning this race which not only had some very accomplished amateur and professional drivers but also some real boneheads. Once again Congratulations on a terrific race winning drive.
That was an absolutely incredible win! Kevin you’re an awesome fabricator, driver, father, team player and adding to that skill set a great TH-camr. We should all strive to be more like Kevin and #WinWithKSR!!! Congratulations Kevin! 🎉 🏁🏁🏁🍾 P.S. You’re current store seems to have trouble shipping to Canada. (For me at least)
Congrats Kevin. As they say, "The cream rises to the top". You really showed them how it's done. Amid the chaos of carnage caused by drivers that really had no business being in the field, you showed some really brilliant driving to get to the front, and stay in front! Well done!
Your sooo damn humble! “K.S.R.” Wins!!!! Wow. And you were holding back until the last few!! Wow!! Great patience! And. Mad skills congratulations Kevin!!!
Kevin man you deserve it! You’ve been grinding on one of cleets most thought out and put together machines that he has it’s only right to see our boy take it home for the team!! Congratulations man!
Congratulations Kevin on winning the freedom 500 just watched cleetus’s video and you say you would be happy with 10th and look where you ended up awesome job and love your videos

Oh hey the world famous Freedom 500 Champion Kevin. Killed it out there
Yup, it’s like winning a gold at the Olympics... your life will never be the same...
The tire screech coming off of Cleetus' bent ass wheel is hilarious 😂
Isn’t it!!!!
Was have trouble holding it straight lol
How can you not like this guy. Greetings from Australia
Everyone out there playing demolition derby... kevin out here 5d chess... Congrats!

Hearing you before the race is a reminder of not only how talented you are, but how humble you are about your talent.

I've said before and I'll say it again, there isn't anything Kevin cannot do with cars. Talented builder, talented driver.
