2010[edit | edit source]

In late December 2009, Morales was contacted by long time friend Daniel Leckliter and asked him if he wanted a shot in the RROL, Kenny accepted near instantly. By January 2010, he was at Daytona testing, but unfortunately he wouldn't make his first start until the 2010 RROL Round of Brands Hatch where he would score his first top 5, but then would miss Brazil, he would score 2 poles within this short season, and miss quite a few races.

2011[edit | edit source]

The 2011 season started off rough for Kenny after missing the first 2 races at Daytona and Brazil. Coming into Brands Hatch, Morales just hoped to at least make it in, he would go and finish fourth in the qualifying race, and lead the entire distance for his first and only career win, and effectively locked him in for the next race at Mallory Park. After finishing sixth at Mallory Park, he would have a DNF at Spa, and 21st at EuroSpeedway Lausitz, but bounced back and finished fourth at Karjala after starting on the pole. He would go on to finish 10th in points after the season was cut short at Twin Ring Motegi.

Formula Overdrive[edit | edit source]

After the VSCC folded in 2011, Morales moved to Formula Overdrive to try his hand at open-wheel racing. He finished 6th on his debut in Infineon. He would go on to win Cleveland and finished 6th in the overall points.

Kenny's 2013 season is off to an amazing start as he holds one win at Oulton Park and is second in the overall points standings.

Personal Life[edit | edit source]

Kenny is married to Ashley Rivas, who is in the US Navy. Kenny is known to drive while injured, justifying it by saying, "Chicks dig it, man".
