Kayla has always been a fan of her grandparents, just as much as they are fans of her. In fact Kayla holds her grandparents in very high regard. She always has and she always will.

The fact that Grampy Cazares is a veteran of two wars makes him that much more special to Kayla. “He’s not just a hero to me, he’s a hero to America, that’s cool!” said Kayla in a phone interview about her grandfather. She continued by saying “We enjoy the freedoms that people like my grandfather helped keep for us.”

When the opportunity came up to be a part of the Veteran’s Annual Cruise Night festivities, it was a no brainer for Kayla. Her father was all for supporting the event, but he was concerned that the car wasn’t pretty enough since it had yet to be repainted (Dave is a perfectionist when it comes to race equipment). Kayla pushed to take part in the event, and like most 13 year old girls, she got her way. She didn’t have to whine or complain like most kids do, nor did she throw a temper tantrum or pout. She explained how important the event was to her, seriously, that was all it took.

So, on August 13th the family and the car (still not repainted) made the trip to Tilton to be a part of the Veteran’s Annual Cruise Night.

Kayla had a great time showing the car to anyone that wanted to see it, and spending time with some fantastic people. She was able to see some incredible cars and trucks, but more importantly she got to meet some amazing people.

When she was asked about her favorite part of the day she said meeting some of the veterans that served the country was the best part. Kayla does her best to remember everyone she meets, but she knows that’s impossible. However she will never forget the service that has been provided to this country by our veterans. “I’ll remember them every time I look at the American Flag.”

So do we Kayla, so do we.

Maybe it’s the economy, or maybe it’s perfect timing. Either way Kayla Cazares will make her debut as a car owner in 2010 when the karting season begins at Route 106 Race Park. Mark Walker (long time friend and current member of the Cazares Racing crew) will drive the Champ kart that was formerly for sale on the website.

The kart, a championship winning kart, was put up for sale at the beginning of the 2009 season.  However the kart has not been sold. “We had a couple offers that we turned down for a few different reasons. We are VERY picky who we sell out equipment to.” Said David Cazares. “Since it’s still here Kayla suggested having Mark drive the kart. I told her that if she wanted him to drive the kart that she would have to take on the responsibility of car owner and support him in whatever way she can.” He added.

Car owners have a long list of responsibilities including finding sponsorship to pay the bills and making sure the car and driver have everything they need. Is Kayla up for the challenge?

“I don’t think I would want to do this if Mark and Jack (Mark’s son) weren’t such good friends. That will make the journey a bit easier. We both know what we’re getting into.” Said the young racing phenom turned karting owner. “I can’t wait to get to work with Mark at the track and watch him on the track. He’s watched me for years, now it’s my turn.”

Kayla’s job starts now as she will begin the process of securing sponsorship for the 2010 season for her stock car and the kart as well. It’s a lot to put on anyone’s plate, much less a 13 year old (Kayla turns 14 in February 2010) but then again Kayla isn’t your average 13 year old, she’s a Cazares.

What are the goals for 2010? “We want to complete the season in both cars, get some seat time, and have fun in the process. A few top finishes would be great, but as long as we’re safe and we have fun, it’s going to be a great season.” Said Kayla in a phone interview.

2010 looks like it will be a busy year for Kayla Cazares, and you can follow the standout right on her website, www.cazaresracing.com

At 13 years old Kayla is possibly the youngest guest ever on Scorch's PFGtv and one of the only racers ever to appear on the program.

You can catch the show live at the studio or on the world wide web. More information on the show is available at http://www.pfg-tv.com/

Kayla wishes to thank her sponsors and everyone that has stood with her thus far on her journey to become one of the best racers in the world. "There's still a long way to go, but with the people I have around me, I know I can make it. I am so blessed to have the people with me that I have."

Give him heck Kayla!

Maine Indoor Karting is getting used to a name that so many drivers and fans of karting in southern NH have already gotten used to. That name is Kayla Cazares.

On a recent trip to Maine Indoor Karting, Kayla shattered the old track record for the under 150 pound class, posting a 22.447 second lap. Thousands have tried to break the previous record, Kayla was the one that accomplished it.

Main Indoor Karting has awarded Kayla with an alternative prize based on her being classified as a minor (or junior) but racing in the adult bracket. It's a situation that maine Indoor Karting had never had to deal with before. Kayla has vowed to return and beat her own record yet again. We'll have to see what the staff at MIK does when she shatters her own record.

Maine Indoor Karting provides all of the race karts to prevent cheating of any type. The times are recorded by electronic timing systems, eliminating the potential for human error. All of this adds up to one simple fact that the rest of us already knew... This 13 year old young lady is FAST.

Congrats Kayla, another record to hang with your FIVE consecutive championships!
