15 cars entered, wow. So just how much does it cost to rent one of his cars for the week ?

I thought KKR was Kahse kane and Keith Kunz was KKM. Either way. I dont jnow the answer. But I was expecting a comment in Kane havjng 3 teams working out of his shop.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

Do you need any prior experience? The reason I ask is I have some money saved up for a rainy day and I'd like to get me & a few buddies in some KKM cars at next years CB and treat it like a racing fantasy camp. 

Probably meant KKM with 15 cars. With Chili Bowl paying $10K to win and every driver seems to express how much fun it is to be there its not about the money.To have many of the top drivers from different forms of racing all wanting a Driller is special.I was told what it cost for the priviledge to be part this effort but not going to say as I didnt write the check.All cars are equal and have crews that give driver everything they need. I doubt that guys like Bell,Rico,Kofoid and the other 12 drivers show up with an empty helmet as KKM is a business and spends a lot of money to be there. Racing is fun but not cheap.

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.

$10,000

KARL KINSER RACING.... he's back.  Yea, funny how there was the 3 of them with the same KK? . Anyhow, I had heard pricing from 5000 up to 13000 to rent a KKM ride. 

$40,000 for four powri shows. 

Are you joking? I'd be shocked if he let anyone off the street drive one of his cars! Plenty of experienced racers would jump at the chance...

Not at all. I think I could get a ton of new Instagram followers if I post a bunch of artistic pics of me walking down the trailer ramp door with firesuit stripped to my waist. I want to increase the female demographic on my social platforms. 

I'm sure if you couple all of your followers with your marketing ability you can score a full time ride. The chicks will just come with it. Its win win for you.

KKM cars finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the Chili Bowl feature.

C J Leary came from 16th to 7th but for the most part the race was follow the leader.

Teams with multiple cars in the feature:

KKM (Keith Kunz) 5

RMS (Rusty Kunz) 3

CB Industries (Chad Boat) 3

Matt Wood 3

Clauson Marshall 2

So are Rusty  and Keith related? Meaning really 8 cars from 1 shop???

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

Dave and Matt Estep own the RMS team which had 5 teams at the Chili Bowl.  They are based in Cedar Lake, Indiana near Chicago.  The team's drivers were Justin Grant, Thomas Meseraull, Brad Sweet, David Gravel, and Spencer Bayston.  Rusty Kunz is a brother to Keith Kunz but the RMS team and the Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports are separate teams.  The Keith Kunz operation is based in Columbus, Indiana.

Brothers

15 Race Ready competitive cars plus crew  for six days is not cheap.Toyota sponorship is big . Several of their cars were different colors and had primary sponsorship which drivers thanked when interviewed. I know figure I was told for a driver from Iowa that ran one last year as a rookie and it was way more than it paid to win.Still around 400 drivers from different forms of racing from Nascar to several that have no business there except paid entry fee. A full granstand and vendors selling out plus pay for view.A true promotors dream. The feature although good didnt have much passing but still enjoyable between 3/5 top cars.It proves speed is not reason but close racing is entertaining along with the Star Power that guys like Larsen Schatz Elliot Rico mcCready and others bring.Sammy was the show on Saturday early and his interviews were spot on.The format is such that there is going to be many  flips and it is important to move forward unless you draw pole which is must win.For the last of December and into Jan the Chili Bowl and Tulsa Shoot Out is perfectly timed for that kind of show.
