Cody Darrah comes from an accomplished racing family that includes his mother Kitty, a former local stock car winner. His uncle, Rick Eckert is a leading driver on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, and a former Pennsylvania dirt track legend.


“Racing is a family tradition in our family,” said Darrah. “If you were to go my Grandparents house you'll find pictures of all my aunts, and uncles, grandparents, even my great grandparents with checkered flags in their hands.”

Darrah cut his own teeth aboard micro-sprints at age 13 and then started racing 410 winged sprint cars at age 16 in the ultra-competitive, racing market of Central Pennsylvania at tracks like Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway.

After being sidelined in 2010 due to an injury, Darrah was forced to sit his out for the entire season. After several months of rehab, Darrah is on the KKR roster for his first full-time season in the WoO driving the #91 Great Clips/Sage Fruit/ASE Maxim. Prior to joining KKR, he scored his first win with the WoO series in 2009 at his home track of Williams Grove Speedway.

“I'm very excited for the season,” said Darrah. “It wasn’t easy not being able to race last year. I am happy to back. It's going to be a very big year for me as a driver and a very big year for our team Kasey Kahne Racing.

“Having Joey (Saldana) as a teammate will be a great resource. “We'll going to a lot of tracks that I have never seen and I'll be able to able to talk to him and get information. He's a great coach and so many of the tracks that I have never seen, he has won it. We have so many great resources within our team.”
