ABOUT US
-
Michael was raised in the pits at Rockford Speedway helping his father and other family members compete nearly every weekend.
His home of northern Illinois was a hotbed for the next generation of racing superstars and in 1997 he moved to the center of North American oval track racing, Charlotte, North Carolina.
In Charlotte Michael started full time with Venturini Motorsports as a Jackman and car builder for the ARCA Series.
He worked his way up through the ranks and over his career worked for various Cup Series teams including BAM Racing, Wood Brothers Racing, Roush Fenway Racing, and JTG Daugherty Racing before winning the Cup title in 2017 with Furniture Row Racing.
Michael has also gotten behind the wheel in Street Stocks, Trucks and Late Models throughout his career and is excited to use his experience and connections to build his own team with MKM.

Jordan cut his teeth in the racing world as a young man on the west coast running super late models and in the southwest running dirt.
Like his MKM partner, Michael Klein, Jordan came to a crossroads and decided to make the move to Charlotte, NC.
Fresh off the move, Jordan found the mountain town of Hickory and home of historic Hickory Motor Speedway and became the house driver for Chafin Motorsports.
Over the years Jordan spent his weekends winning races and coaching other southeast drivers before taking a hiatus from the racing world and raising a family.
With a competitive return to motorsports, Jordan has collected multiple wins in Pavement Late Model and reunited with his long time friend to create the MKM team.
