Kellan Spears is deeply passionate about auto racing, a love that runs in his family. His maternal grandfather participated in the SCCA series during his mother's youth, and with his father's enthusiasm for the sport, the family frequently attended racing events together. This environment fostered Kellan's commitment to racing, which he embraced wholeheartedly. He explains, "I chose this path in life because of the challenges and adrenaline that I experience. When you drive a kart or car at a high enough speed, it’s like you feel nothing else." Outside of racing, Kellan maintains a rigorous workout regimen and dedicates time each day to simulator training, showcasing his focus and determination to excel in the sport.

​

In 2016 Kellan began his racing path in dirt oval kart racing, achieving success across various divisions and series through the years. The journey began at the age of six, inspired by his father after attending a local racing event. After building skills, Kellan finished fourth his first season. The following year marked a significant milestone as he secured his first victory and ended the season just one point shy of the overall championship in second place. In 2019, he excelled at Checkered Flag Kartway, winning the title in the Jr. 2 division and finishing as runner-up in the Jr. 1 division. By 2020, he achieved a commendable second place overall in both divisions for the season. This fueled 2021-2022 to the ultimate goal and claimed the championships in both Jr. 2 & Jr. 3.

 

In 2023, Kellan chose to move into the next level of karting -  asphalt road course.  His rookie season, Kellan won the KA100 Senior Championship at Atlanta Motorsports Park. In 2024 he joined up with DCT Sodi U.S.A. Team and participated in the Trackhouse Karting Challenge, achieving two podium finishes and competed in national races. He began testing in the X30 division in February and competed in his inaugural race in March securing a third-place finish. Among the five races held at Atlanta Motorsports Park, he recorded one third-place finish, two second-place finishes, and ultimately claimed first place in the final championship race.

2025 while selectively racing karts, it was time to expand into INEX Legend cars, enjoying another successful rookie year obtaining several podium placements in strong fields.  Finished the year with a 3rd place in the Legend Moonshine Series, 1st with Edmondson Motorsports at the Sebring 14hr ChampCar endurance race and wrapping up with a 3rd place with BlueShock karts in Daytona!
