One Race Changed Everything: How Caylee Kjos Found Her Passion on Dirt Tracks

What happens when you finally say "yes" to the thing you've been avoiding? For Caylee Kjos, one reluctant agreement to race "just once" completely transformed her life trajectory.

Caylee never imagined herself as a race car driver. In fact, she actively resisted her stepdad Quinn's persistent encouragement, dismissing racing as "boring" and claiming cars "just go in circles." Her only interest at the track was watching one particular driver compete. Everything changed during that final race of the 2017 season when she finally caved to pressure and climbed behind the wheel of a hobby stock car at Fountain City.

Despite knowing only the basics about racing flags (and hilariously getting black-flagged when her muffler fell off), something unexpected happened—she fell in love with the sport instantly. "I could not wait to get back out there," Caylee reveals, describing how that single experience ignited a passion she never knew existed.

Now racing both late models and eco mods at tracks around Winona, Caylee balances her motorsports career with work at OZ Lifting Products and studying radiology at Southeast Technical College. Her racing style reflects her personality—starting calm and becoming increasingly aggressive as races progress. Unlike many drivers, she prefers starting from the back, embracing the challenge of working forward through the field.

The heart of Caylee's story lies in the special relationship developed with her stepdad, who recognized her potential during family snowmobile trips long before she saw it herself. Now serving as her crew chief, they spend nearly every evening working on her cars together, creating memories and sharing a bond forged through their mutual passion for racing.

For women considering motorsports but hesitating due to fear, Caylee offers simple but powerful advice: "Face your fears and don't be scared... once you get on the track, it's not scary, you're just ready to go." Follow Caylee's continuing journey toward her first win on Facebook as she proves what can happen when you finally say yes to the unexpected opportunities that might just change everything.

This is the Women's Motorsports Network podcast, connecting and celebrating women in motorsports. One story at a time. Let's hit the track. Hello everyone, this is Melinda Russell with the Women's Motorsports Network podcast, and I have a special guest tonight. Her name is Caylee and, Caylee, I'm not going to try to say your last name, I don't want to mess it up, so I want you to share that when it's when it's your turn. So let's start with a little bit about yourself, your, your family, your pets, anything like that, and then tell us how to pronounce your last name.

Caylee Kjos: 1:29

So you pronounce my last name as Kjos, and I have two older sisters. I have one dog named Baron, two turtles named Larry and Carl. That's all the pets that I have.

Melinda Russell: 1:47

Okay, well, how big are your turtles?

Caylee Kjos: 1:52

They're big, they were wild. And then I got them gifted to me as birthday presents when I was 12 years old, and have had them ever since.

Melinda Russell: 2:04

So my granddaughter in Arizona. They found a turtle and it's probably oh, it's about this big around, but they said it'll get huge and so they have a fenced in yard and so it's been so hot there. She doesn't put him outside, he stays in like a container thing, but at some point she's going to have't put him outside. He stays in like a container thing but, um, at some point she's gonna have to put him outside. Yeah and yeah, and I think in Arizona gosh, that poor turtle. But they have a pool.

Caylee Kjos: 2:35

So I said to her well, maybe you'll have to let him swim every day yeah, I let mine swim every day and I have to keep buying a bigger tank.

Melinda Russell: 2:46

Oh gosh, that's funny. I, yeah, yeah, I, and you know I think they're pretty good pets really. They don't really cause a lot of trouble or anything. So you know they don't bark or anything. So right. So, Caylee, do you work or do you go to school?

Caylee Kjos: 3:04

Yes, I work at Oz Lifting Products in Winona, okay, and I go to school at Southeast Technical College in Winona and I'm currently going for radiology.

Melinda Russell: 3:17

Okay, all right, that's a good career to get into, because there's always going to be a need for that. So that's a good life plan there for you so. Caylee, tell me how did you get interested in motorsports?

Caylee Kjos: 3:33

so when I was probably like 12 years old, I'd go to the racetrack with my family. I never really had a lot of interest in it, besides just watching Josh Angst. He's the only one I wanted to go see, otherwise I didn't care. And then, a few years later, my stepdad, quinn Arnold. He raced too and he just kept trying to get me to race. And I kept telling him no for years because I'm like, I don't like racing, it's boring. Cars go in a circle, I'm good. And finally, one year, he's like okay, just try one race, I'll put a car together for you, just one race. And I told him fine, one race and that's it.

Caylee Kjos: 4:27

And that was back in 2017 with a hobby stock so it was the last race of the season at Fountain City and got in the car, didn't know what I was doing, but went out there. I had a blast and well, I knew what, like the green flag, the checkered flag, the white flags. I knew what all those meant. Well, I got black flagged and I had no clue what that meant, because Quinn didn't tell me that part meant, because quinn didn't tell me that part, and so I stayed on the out on the racetrack until they're like, okay, you need to pull off the track. And I was so scared because I was like, what did I do wrong?

Caylee Kjos: 5:15

and here my muffler just fell off my car and they're like yeah, you can't race without that. And I'm like Isn't that funny.

Melinda Russell: 5:25

Yeah and all the years you went, you never paid attention or realized what the black flag was about.

Caylee Kjos: 5:32

Nope, I didn't care about racing, I just wanted to watch Josh Angst.

Melinda Russell: 5:39

Huh, and so you pull into the pits and you've had a blast, and then it's the last race of the year.

Caylee Kjos: 5:48

Yep, and I could not wait to get back out there.

Melinda Russell: 5:52

Okay, so what happened after that?

Caylee Kjos: 5:56

We well, my stepdad was like you went way faster than I thought you would have and he's like did you have fun? I was like went way faster than I thought you would have and he's like did you have fun? I was like I loved it. So we actually put a decent car together for me the next year and I never got black flagged after that good that's awesome, and so do you race at one track, do you have a home track or do you travel?

Caylee Kjos: 6:26

We travel a little bit. This year we're just pretty much racing Red Cedar in Menominee and Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City. We're there every Friday night at Fountain City.

Melinda Russell: 6:41

Okay, all right, and are you still racing a hobby stock?

Caylee Kjos: 6:45

I am not. I raced hobby stock for a couple years and then I went to late model and did double duty with hobby stock and late model for a year and then I was like, okay, I like the late model a little bit more, it's faster, so race the late model for a couple years. And now this year we just bought an eco mod. So now I'm doing double duty with a late model and eco mod okay, tell me about an eco mod, because everybody doesn't have those.

Melinda Russell: 7:22

What is that?

Caylee Kjos: 7:23

Yeah, it's just a cheap class for people that don't want to spend a lot of money and they just want to go out and have fun. So it's a cheaper class and it's fun. It's competitive way more competitive than I thought it was going to be, way more competitive than I thought it was gonna be. So I just wanted another class that I could race with and not spend a lot of money, because I wanted the late model to be my main car right but now I'm like in the eco mod a little bit more than I thought I would okay.

Melinda Russell: 8:05

Sometimes it's because I would think the late model might be a little more pressure to do well, whereas the eco mod is just you just get in it and go and whatever happens happens yeah, the late model is definitely more stressful and there's some pretty good competition there, which I'm a very competitive person, so I love the competition.

Caylee Kjos: 8:31

But it's more stressful than the eco mod. But it's still fun because it goes way faster than the eco mod yeah, so you kind of have the best of both worlds yep yeah, that's, that's so fun.

Melinda Russell: 8:46

So, um, do you remember the first time you got behind the wheel, that last race? How were you feeling when you got in there? Were you just like, oh, I'm just going to do this because he's pushing me, and you get in the car? And then, when did all of a sudden, it was like, oh, I love this.

Caylee Kjos: 9:02

So I got in the car and I felt so sick to my stomach Like I could not believe that I was doing this and waiting in line felt like forever. But then, once I finally got out on the track and like was keeping up with the other cars in front of me, I was like, okay, okay, this is kind of fun. And then, probably a couple laps in, I was just like, okay, this is awesome, I'm gonna go faster yeah, that is so cool.

Melinda Russell: 9:38

I bet your stepdad was just patting himself on the back because he's like yep, I knew. You know, Caylee, what made him so sure that you were going to love doing it. Why did he keep pushing you?

Caylee Kjos: 9:50

So we ride snowmobiles with my mom and one of my other sisters. We normally went out up to different places and had like a little trip and we live around snowmobile trails. So we'd be out all the time and my mom and sister would be way far behind us and he'd look back and I'm right on his tail and he just had the instinct that I loved it yeah, he could tell by the way you drilled the snowmobile that you would probably like racing yeah.

Melinda Russell: 10:29

Yeah, so do you. Is that dirt or pavement that you race on Dirt? Yeah, I thought it was Okay. Yeah, have you ever raced on asphalt? I have not. Okay, just curious whether you've ever had a chance to do that.

Caylee Kjos: 10:49

I want to, but some people say I will not like it.

Melinda Russell: 10:51

So I think I think once you start in my from my experience talking to people, I haven't raced myself but I think once you get started and you love dirt, asphalt's not going to cut it for you. You're going to want to stick with your dirt, I'm pretty sure, so yeah so yeah, so let's pretend it's race day. What is your typical race day? Look like what you know. You get up, you have breakfast. Do you eat? You don't eat. Do you wear the same shirt? Are you superstitious? What's race day like?

Caylee Kjos: 11:25

I get up, go to work and then after work I normally change into shorts and a t-shirt because I get so hot with a race suit on, and then most of the time we're running around because the car's not ready yet or we don't have tools packed. So it's kind of stressful until we actually get on the road, especially if we have. If we're racing both cars the same night, yeah, um. But then on the way to the racetrack, my stepdad and I just jammed to music and yeah, get us all hyped up. And does he still race?

Caylee Kjos: 12:08

he does not, okay he's your crew chief yep, he told me a couple years ago that, oh, I just want to pass the torch down to you. I like helping you more and watching you, even though I wish you would still race. We have raced against each other a couple times. One time I beat him so that was fun yeah, but once in a good or once in a great while he'll get the itch to race and then race one of the cars, yeah okay, so he's your crew chief.

Melinda Russell: 12:44

Who else helps you at the racetrack?

Caylee Kjos: 12:46

My mom helps and that's pretty much.

Melinda Russell: 12:50

It Just us and how far were you know? Like when you go to Menominee or what was the other one, Fountain City? How far is that for you to go? Are those close by where you live?

Caylee Kjos: 13:03

Menominee is a little over an hour for us, and Fountain City is like 40-ish minutes. Okay, so not far. That's what I like. They're not far.

Melinda Russell: 13:18

Yeah, and you race. You said on Friday night. Yep, okay, all right, that sounds like so much fun it's. And you know for us in the summer in the northern part of the Midwest, where the snow is going to fly here sooner than we want, we've got to take advantage of every one of those warm days that we can go to the racetrack.

Caylee Kjos: 13:41

Yeah.

Melinda Russell: 13:42

Yeah for sure. So are you aggressive? Are you an aggressive driver, or are you more like calm and laid back?

Caylee Kjos: 13:53

Um, I start calm and laid back, but once I get a few laps in me then I'm like okay, then I get more aggressive.

Melinda Russell: 14:10

Okay, do you prefer to start from the front, like on the pole or the front row, or do you enjoy the, you know, the competition of starting mid pack or even in the back and working your way up?

Caylee Kjos: 14:18

I do not like starting front row at all. I would prefer to start in the back and make my way up past the people, cause then it's like if you start last, you can't move back, or if you start pole, you can move back.

Melinda Russell: 14:35

So yeah, exactly.

Caylee Kjos: 14:38

I'd start in the back any day.

Melinda Russell: 14:40

Yeah, I think I would too. I don't want to be in the front where they're all going to be coming after me. I would never.

Caylee Kjos: 14:45

I would too. I don't want to be in the front where they're all going to be coming after me?

Melinda Russell: 14:49

I would never, so everybody has a bad day at the racetrack, that's. That's nothing unusual. So how do you handle a bad day? If you've had a bad day at the track, what do you do?

Caylee Kjos: 15:02

I just watch the races and just clear my head.

Melinda Russell: 15:09

You don't get your. It sounds like you're pretty easy going in that respect, that maybe you don't get that upset about it because there's always another week coming up that you can race.

Caylee Kjos: 15:19

Yeah, I do get a little upset if, like, I could have done better or if the car just didn't handle right and stuff like that. But it normally but like flies past me pretty easily. I'm like, okay, we know what to fix for the next time and I know what I can work on better.

Melinda Russell: 15:44

Yeah, what's been the hardest? What was the biggest challenge, the biggest thing for you to learn about driving a race car?

Caylee Kjos: 15:57

Probably my starts. Starts seem so easy, but they don't come easy to me so like getting ready for the start you're.

Melinda Russell: 16:14

You don't anticipate it fast enough yeah yeah.

Caylee Kjos: 16:20

I just, yeah, I don't know, I've never been good at my starts, but after once I get a lap in, then I'm good.

Melinda Russell: 16:29

They're good to go after that. Yeah, so do you help your stepdad like work on the car during the?

Caylee Kjos: 16:36

week Yep. Almost every night Him and I are over there together working on the car, listening to music.

Melinda Russell: 16:44

Yeah yeah, just having a good time, and that's a nice bonding thing, isn't it? Especially with, you know, with the stepdad. That's a nice way to really have something in common that you can share.

Caylee Kjos: 16:59

Yes, I love it. I love going over there and just having a good time with him.

Melinda Russell: 17:05

I bet he loves it too.

Caylee Kjos: 17:07

Oh yeah.

Melinda Russell: 17:08

Yeah, I figured this much.

Caylee Kjos: 17:10

Yep.

Melinda Russell: 17:11

So, um, is there a favorite memory that you might have? Or you know, maybe you wrecked the car or you want to race anything at all. That just kind of you know, when you think about your racing career that really stands out.

Caylee Kjos: 17:29

Well, wrecking the car is never fun.

Caylee Kjos: 17:32

No, and I always want to race, no matter what. But a memory that does stand out is when I raced hobby stock. I had two hobby stocks, one for a backup, and my stepdad decided to race it one night. So him and I were racing against each other the whole feature. We were side by side, fighting each other. And then, when we were going around three and four, to the checkered flag, he claims he bobbled it and I flew past him. But he just don't want to say he got beat by a girl.

Melinda Russell: 18:09

Yeah, he would rather say, oh, I just messed up, and instead of actually, you really did beat him.

Caylee Kjos: 18:20

Yup, that's what I think.

Melinda Russell: 18:22

Yeah, and you're going to stick with it. Right, that's your story and you're going to stick with it.

Melinda Russell: 18:26

Yeah, for sure so, Caylee. If you had never gotten in that car and raced that first time, how do you think your life would be different? You know we learn a lot of things from being a race car driver, being involved in motorsports, that maybe we don't expect to learn. What are some things that maybe you've learned about yourself, or about life or anything at all? That being a part of motorsports has made you who you are today?

Caylee Kjos: 19:00

Well, my life would be very boring if I didn't start racing. My life would be very boring if I didn't start racing.

Caylee Kjos: 19:11

Now, I know so much about cars where before I didn't know anything and I'm not a social butterfly, so racing has also got me a little bit more social with people and like to make new friends and talk to other guys that I race with and yeah, I hear that a lot from girls that say you know they were not outgoing and that they were shy, and that racing has really brought them out of their shell.

Caylee Kjos: 19:42

And isn't that a wonderful thing, because that carries over into your life yeah, it really does help just knowing other people and it has an impact on you it really does so.

Melinda Russell: 19:59

Have you faced any challenges as far as being a woman in motorsports, I mean, have have you always been treated just like another racer? Have you ever had any issues that you know you were made to feel like maybe you didn't belong?

Caylee Kjos: 20:16

I haven't really had any issues. Everyone's pretty respectful that I race against and they're. They want to help me and make me better. So I haven't had any conflicts and if I do, I just want to beat them on the track yeah, there you go, yeah, and you know, I like, I like hearing that.

Melinda Russell: 20:39

I think things have changed so much over the last, even couple years, where it's just so normal to see women at the racetrack on on the track, that I I just don't think it's as big of a deal as it was, you know, a few years ago. So that's good, I like that and yeah, there's no better way to show them up than to beat them on the track, right?

Caylee Kjos: 21:02

right right. That's the best way.

Melinda Russell: 21:06

That's the absolute best way. So what are your goals? Do you have any goals this year? Like I want to, you know I want to win. Have you won a race yet in your career?

Caylee Kjos: 21:16

I have not, and it's long overdue that I need to win a race.

Melinda Russell: 21:20

Okay, so that's one of your goals for this year?

Caylee Kjos: 21:24

I'm sure, yeah, we only have like four or five more races left this year. So I think, with what racing we have left this year, I just want to figure out the Eco Mod a little bit more and get it faster and next year definitely try to pick up a win.

Melinda Russell: 21:43

Okay, all right. Yeah, that's a good goal to have and you know, I always used to tell my son when he raced that, uh, a successful night is when you take the car home in one piece.

Caylee Kjos: 21:55

yep, I agree with that yeah, absolutely so.

Melinda Russell: 22:01

Um, the other women that you race with, I'm sure there's other women that you race against right or is it pretty? Are you kind of the minority?

Caylee Kjos: 22:13

I went to a couple other tracks a few years ago and have raced against maybe one or two girls in my class, but the tracks that I've been at, I'm the only girl you're the only girl?

Melinda Russell: 22:28

okay, yeah, you're the only girl.

Caylee Kjos: 22:30

That's a shame, we got to get more girls out there yeah, yeah, I am seeing a lot more girls, especially when I go over to Menominee. There are so many girls there and I just love knowing that I'm not the only one yeah, that, that's good.

Melinda Russell: 22:45

That's good for sure. So Caylee do you have any marketing partners, sponsors, that help you get you know parts and different things? Do you want to share about them?

Caylee Kjos: 22:58

I do have sponsors that help me out a lot. Helped me out a lot. Oz lifting products, jerry Lenander, specialized transportation.

Melinda Russell: 23:17

Anderson concrete DAR auction and freedom race lifts.

Caylee Kjos: 23:19

Okay, you've got quite a few sponsors. Yep, those are my big sponsors that helped me out a lot during the season.

Melinda Russell: 23:24

Yeah, that's great. That's great, I like seeing that I like seeing businesses that are supporting women in motorsports. That's important.

Caylee Kjos: 23:32

Yes.

Melinda Russell: 23:33

Yeah, so you work, you go to school, you race. I'm sure you still have to do laundry and get groceries and all the things everybody else has to do. How do you find balance? How do you keep everything?

Caylee Kjos: 23:53

you know, juggling all that and and making it all work. Well, I don't know how I do it. I just, normally I go to work. After work I'll have like an hour or two to do whatever I need to do, and then I'll go work on the race car.

Melinda Russell: 24:10

Okay, so you kind of have a schedule I guess it sounds like organized and you kind of have a schedule that you follow.

Caylee Kjos: 24:18

Yeah, and I don't work on the race car on weekends, so then I have my weekends to do stuff.

Melinda Russell: 24:25

Okay's good, you gotta have a break? Yep, yeah, everybody's gotta have a break, for sure. So, um, you said you listen to. You've mentioned a couple times you like to listen to music. What's your favorite kind of music?

Caylee Kjos: 24:41

oh, on the way to the racetrack, we like to listen. Listen to rap. My stepdad and I do, but I like country pop. I like everything, okay.

Melinda Russell: 24:54

All right, I just. I just sounded like music is an important part of your life and your racing, so I was curious what you know. What was your favorite?

Caylee Kjos: 25:07

curious what you know. What was your favorite? Yeah, rap definitely gets me in the mood to go racing and kick some butt, but working on the race car it's more like country. Some older music okay all right.

Melinda Russell: 25:20

So how do you use social media? Do you have a Facebook page where you talk about your racing or you share about your racing, and if so, how could somebody follow you?

Caylee Kjos: 25:32

I do have a Facebook page. I am terrible with posting on it, I'm terrible with just posting on social media, but I do have a Facebook page of racing. And is it just your name? Yep, it's just.

Melinda Russell: 25:47

Caylee Kjos. Okay, all right, so if we want to follow you, that's where we could find. And if you haven't posted, if we said, Caylee, how did the race go, then you'd probably see the message and you'd post something so we can keep track of you, Caylee.

Caylee Kjos: 26:05

We want to know how you're doing. That's another thing I need to get better at next year's posts and my results and um.

Melinda Russell: 26:12

Is Facebook what you use primarily? Yeah yeah, okay, all right. Um, do you have any advice that you would give to, let's say, a mom who comes up to you with her daughter? Or even if the little girl came up to you and said I want to learn how to race like you, what would be your advice to them?

Caylee Kjos: 26:34

I would probably say face your fears and don't be scared, because it is very scary, especially knowing you're out there with a bunch of guys, mm-hmm. But once you get on the track it's not scary. You're out there with a bunch of guys, but once you get on the track it's not scary, you're just ready to go.

Melinda Russell: 26:50

Yeah, that's a good answer. Yeah, and you know it looks. It does look scary, but I think it's not as scary as you know. You think in your head you know, once you get out there and you've got that big car around you, you don't feel as scared, do you really? I mean, yeah, I didn't think so, or people wouldn't do it if it was that scary.

Caylee Kjos: 27:20

Yeah, you, just once you get out there, you kind of forget about how you feel and forget about everything. You're just strapped in there and ready to go yeah, what fun.

Melinda Russell: 27:34

So what's your favorite snack at the racetrack?

Caylee Kjos: 27:39

oh, I'd probably have to say peanut m m's okay all right.

Melinda Russell: 27:46

Do you have a favorite nascar driver?

Caylee Kjos: 27:52

them. Okay, all right. Do you have a favorite, nascar?

Melinda Russell: 27:53

driver. I don't, you don't? I like so many people, I can't pick a favorite. Yeah, okay, that's fair, I do, I do too. I like a lot of them too. Um, carson hosavar gets a lot of press and he's from my town, so he's uh, I've known him since he was little and he raced quarter midgets and so, um, I absolutely he's. I was a Kyle Busch fan for a long time and I still am before Carson started to race, so now it's it's Kyle Busch and Carson, but um, yeah so I I love I mean, I don't always love what he says or does, but I love that he's getting a lot of attention and that's very cool.

Melinda Russell: 28:29

So, yeah, yeah, um. So, Caylee, is there anything that we haven't talked about that I should have asked you about that?

Caylee Kjos: 28:38

we should share about you or your racing a lot of people ask me what car I like better the Eco Mod and the Late Model and I always tell them that I can't pick one. They both have pros and cons to them and I love them both, so I truly can't pick which one's my favorite. To race, yeah.

Melinda Russell: 29:05

And you know, down the road. Let's say, in five years do you think you're still going to be racing, because you're not going to be very old still?

Caylee Kjos: 29:14

I could see myself still racing, yes.

Melinda Russell: 29:17

Yeah.

Caylee Kjos: 29:18

I think it'd be very hard for me to give it up, because I'm such a competitive person.
