Driver Bio - Brantley Emberton

Brantley grew up around the roar of engines and the thrill of the track. His father raced UMP Modifieds, and by age 9, Brantley was carving his own path in oval kart racing. He came out wide open, stacking up multiple wins in the Red Plate division early on.

Though his sophomore season brought only two wins, Brantley stayed consistent with numerous top-5 finishes. His junior year in Purple Plate was a challenge as he adjusted to a new kart, but a late-season chassis swap paid off-he snagged a win and landed on the pole in his final race of the year.

In his final year of karting, Brantley found his groove, securing four outdoor wins, three indoor wins, and capping it all off with a Points Championship in the HRW National Indoor Series (Purple Plate) and a runner-up finish in Pro Purple.

Now stepping up to Bandoleros, Brantley is already making waves. He scored 2nd place in his debut at Lonesome Pine Raceway and backed it up with a strong 3rd-place finish in his second race, battling up front and challenging for the lead.

This young talent from South Central Kentucky is just getting started. Stay tuned-there's plenty more speed where that came from.
