Byron Payne is a Professional Race Car Driver/Instructor who has been tearing up the track and showing his passion for racing with the world since he was just 16 years old. A true southern boy, Byron was born in Louisville Kentucky; where kids are born to race! He just happened to choose a more modern version of horse power, rather then an actual horse! Right at the start of his career, Byron gained local exposure with the sponsorship from the heir to Jack Daniels Whiskey Garvin Brown, who represented him in his first race and eventually helped him move on to the height of his career. After gaining local celebrity status, Byron received a letter of recommendation from Indy Car Champ Danny Sullivan which helped him become the driver you know him as today. He's even gone so far as to make it as a Rookie of the Year!
