Personal life


Born in Ventura, California, Kruseman is married, to Carri, and has one daughter.[1] He currently operates the Cory Kruseman Sprint Car and Midget Driving School.[2] He is a graduate of Buena High School.[1]



Racing career


Kruseman has raced for most of his career in midget and sprint cars, racing in United States Auto Club (USAC) and Sprint Car Racing Association (SCRA) competition.[1] A serious accident in 1995 nearly ended Kruseman's career, but after six months of rehabiliation he returned to racing.[3]


Kruseman won the famous Chili Bowl midget car race in 2000; in 2004 he was champion of the event for a second time.[4] Kruseman was also the 2001 SCRA Champion,[2] and the 2002 USAC Indiana Sprint Week Championship champion.[5]


In 2002, Kruseman made one start each in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Phoenix International Raceway,[5] where he finished 31st,[6] and in the Firestone Indy Racing League at Texas Motor Speedway, finishing 26th.[7] Kruseman also attempted to qualify for Craftsman Truck Series races at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2002,[6] and at Phoenix in 2003, but failed to qualify for either race.[8]


A frequent visitor to Australia to race Midgets (known as Speedcars down under), Kruseman won the 2002/03 Australian Speedcar Championship at the Speedway City in Adelaide.
