The Tasmania native signed a deal with Earnhardt to run a series of Late Model races for JR Motorsports. Kelly, a 30-year-old son of a racer, started his circuit racing career in Formula Ford for three seasons, progressing to V8 Supercars in 2000. From there he has raced in Super Touring, V8 Supercars and a handful of Late Model races in North Carolina.

Will be interesting to see how Mr Kelly goes in that seat....

... there seems to be a plan for Mr Kelly to head to the Busch series with the same team if all is successful...

Presuming any of this actually happened

It is a bit different to talk about it in the press... instead to actually see the bloke take the car for a burn....

All the best for Owen, he is a great operator, pity we never saw him in a full season in a competitive supercar. Congratulations

Good for him as his career in Australia was going nowhere. Hopefully he'll have the chance to put his skills to better use in the USA.

Covered in his local newspaper as the full back page sports story.

The same day as a death notice for one of his aunts, so condolences to Owen, Chas and the rest of the family.
