AKRA is pleased to welcome Drive Your Line KartSport as the newest sponsor of our 2025 National Road Racing Series.
Now in her 50th season in karting off and on, Drive Your Line KartSport, LLC. President Christy Kendall says AKRA is a great fit for her kart shop and team.
“I’ve known Van Gilder since I was 9 years old and we’ve always have had a great relationship,” says Drive Your Line KartSport President Christy Kendall. “Drive Your Line KartSport was created to support kart races in the manner and with the same values I grew up with as a kid in karting — family, racing, team collaboration, lifelong friends and memories. I take the same approach with the management of our team and its members.
“AKRA has made the entire cycle of road racing easy for everyone. Technical manual and rules online for everyone to use. Simple membership process and easy-to-get answers to any questions. I’m happy to have Drive Your Line KartSport supporting AKRA in their efforts to promote and grow the entire sport, not just road racing. This is great for everyone in the sport.”
Drive Your Line KartSport is the only full-service kart shop and Compkart dealer in the Mid-South region, supporting kart racers in 2-cycle and 4-cycle, sprint and road race classes. The DYL KartSport team competes in the very popular STARS Championship Series (sprint) and AKRA Road Racing events for 2025.
DYL produced two World Karting Association Road Racing Series class Champions in 2024. The team also produced 10 podium finishes, including four wins at the 2025 season opener at Daytona from three different drivers and additional team road race wins at Blackhawk, Mid-Ohio, Roebling Road, and Talladega.
