They call him the "King of Cool" and he certainly doesn't let you down on the race track. Kenny Coolbeth from Morris, CT is the one to beat on the track. Whether it is on the Grand National scene or at a local track, ice, snow or dirt; this fearless Champ rides in full talent mode.
From his early days, Kenny came through the ranks solid. Pushing with everything he had to get into the zone and win races. He started his professional career with the Corbin race team then went on with Jones Powersports and KTM.
After several hard attempts to win gold, Coolbeth signed with Harley-Davidson Motor Company and raked in three back to back titles in 2006,07 and 08.
In 2009 his effort was smooth; his wins measurable and Kenny battled week after week with the smell of another championship well into his reach. One week prior to Springfield, Coolbeth was out training when an injury would prevent him from racing the prestigious mile and a track where Kenny was confident for a win. A tough decision by Kenny would leave the door wide open for Jared Mees to capitalize. He did just that and Coolbeth finished the season in the #2 position.
The 2010 race season is just a short month away and Coolbeth will once again proudly run under the factory Harley-Davidson Motor Company brand. His singles series will be headlined by Bettencourts Honda. It is with a heavy heart that this long time sponsor of Kenny's ,Dave Bettencourt, had lost his battle with Leukemia. Kenny extends his sincere condolences to the racing community. His dedication to the sport and especially Kenny will live on.
