Career Highlights
Phoenyx Kimball is an 18-year-old driver from Raleigh, North Carolina, whose green-flame No. 88K has become a familiar sight in the Triangle racing scene. The car number is an homage to Dale Earnhardt Jr., her primary racing inspiration. By the time she entered CARS Tour competition, Kimball had already stacked an impressive list of accomplishments: 2022 Goodyear All American Speedway Champion, 2022 Wake County Speedway Runner-Up Champion, 2022 All Pro Limited Late Model Series Champion, and 2022 Winter Heat Series Champion.
Kimball climbed from Bandoleros to Legends to Late Models, racing alongside her sister Raven — the two are part of a family where all four siblings are named after things that can fly (Phoenyx, Raven, Jet, and Hawk). Beyond her own racing, Kimball is an active advocate and mentor for young women in motorsports, working to open doors for the next generation. Her 2026 CARS Tour season is focused on refining her racecraft and building consistency at the touring level.
