CKI is located just south of Winston-Salem in the Richard Childress Racing Complex which is the headquarters for Richard Childress NASCAR race teams.
In 1959, Dan Klutz worked for Doss & Sons of Winston-Salem, NC and began servicing kart engines. By 1973, Competition Karting Specialties opened as a division of Doss & Sons. In 1978, Dan and Lewis Dowell purchased the division and renamed it Competition Karting, Inc. During December 2012, John and Mike, sons of Dan and Lewis took over the operations of the business.
Congratulations to all CKI Road Racing Competitors! Because of you, we are the 2012 Road Racing Manufacturer Champion. Thanks for your continued support!
