We’re proud to introduce the man leading Borelli Motorsports from the pit lane to the podium. With unmatched karting knowledge, proven leadership, and a passion for developing young racers, Kevin is the driving force behind our championship a vision.
Kevin Harter brings decades of karting experience, proven team management success, and a deep commitment to mentoring the next generation of racers to Borelli Motorsports (@BorelliMotorsports). Beginning his racing career in the late 1980s, Kevin competed in both 2-cycle and 4-cycle classes across Japan, Hawaii, North Carolina, California, and Ohio, earning a reputation for skill, sportsmanship, and technical expertise.
In 2005, Kevin founded Championship Racing Performance (CRP Racing)—a premier 2-cycle kart shop in Ohio specializing in developing drivers aged 5–12. Partnering with top chassis manufacturers such as Shockwave (@ShockwaveKart), Birel (@BirelART), Arrow (@ArrowKarts), and Top Kart (@TopKartUSA), CRP became a dominant force in youth karting. Kevin’s meticulously built and blueprinted C51 Comer engines powered drivers to national, regional, and local Kid Kart championships. Under his leadership, CRP Racing became known not only for winning results, but for instilling strong fundamentals, good sportsmanship, and technical knowledge in young racers.
Kevin’s leadership extended beyond his own team—he served as Treasurer and President of the Great Lakes Sprint Series (@GreatLakesSprintSeries), and contributed as a Technical Inspector at both local and regional levels. His dedication to teaching and mentoring has shaped the careers of countless young drivers, many of whom have gone on to succeed in higher levels of motorsports. He also understands the significant financial commitment involved in karting and takes that responsibility seriously—working to ensure that every driver and family gets the most value and performance from their investment.
A retired U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant, Kevin served 23 years on active duty, earning multiple awards and commendations, and applying the discipline, leadership, and strategic thinking developed in service to every aspect of his racing and professional career. Today, he continues to serve the defense community as Deputy Commander for DCMA Cleveland.
While Kevin has stepped away from competitive driving, his passion for racing remains as strong as ever. At Borelli Motorsports (@BorelliMotorsports), he channels his decades of experience into team management, driver development, and race operations, with the goal of replicating—and surpassing—the success he achieved with CRP Racing from 2005 to 2013. His focus is clear: build a championship-caliber program rooted in technical excellence, teamwork, and a commitment to helping every driver reach their full potential.
