Krisiloff to join Atlantics from Toronto.

Kyle Krisiloff, son of former Champcar driver Steve Krisiloff, has announced that he will compete in the CART Toyota Atlantic Championship Series, beginning at the Molson Indy Toronto this weekend.

Krisiloff will drive for 21st Century Technology with sponsorship from the United States Grand Prix and Patrick Racing. The team, which is managed by father Steve, will be associated with, and supported by, Patrick Racing, with Krisiloff Jr expected to run the remainder of the season in the series.

Krisiloff most recently competed in the SCCA National Formula Atlantic Series running three races, capturing two poles and setting track records each time, and finishing on the podium each time, including two victories.

The Indianapolis native began racing at the age of three on BMX bicycles. He competed in the 'six and under' division until he was four, before moving to inline speed skating, where he was also competitive. However, after being introduced to Quarter Midget racing, he quickly found a home. Over a four-year period, Krisiloff earned over 320 Feature wins, nine Grand National Championships and posted 20 track records.

Graduating from Quarter Midgets he moved into 80cc shifter karts, where he acquired a taste for road racing. Krisiloff competed for KLS Racing as a factory driver, finishing tenth in the 1999 SKUSA World Finals. In 2000, he won two SKUSA races, taking the pole twice.

With his talent apparent, Krisiloff moved in the SCCA Formula Ford Series for 2001. He ran 21 events, sat on the pole six times and finished in the top-ten 15 times, with eleven top-three showings, including six victories. Krisiloff won his first Formula Ford race in just his second start, and placed fourth in the June Sprints, the second biggest race of the year. He finished second in the 2001 SCCA National CenDiv points, which qualified him for the Valvoline SCCA Run-offs. Krisiloff won the National Champion Formula Ford Run-offs, becoming the youngest champion ever.
