OUR DRIVERS
JUSTIN
KERN
Justin Kern is a proven competitor in the sim racing world, known for his clean but relentless approach behind the wheel. With experience across all three top levels of NASCAR competition in the sim space and a current focus in the IMSA LMP2 class, Kern has built a reputation as a driver who can be trusted to race hard and race right.
Introduced to iRacing by a friend, Kern quickly turned a casual start into a serious pursuit, climbing from Late Models into some of the most competitive fields in sim racing. His breakout moment came in 2025 with a victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona in the LMP2 class—one of the toughest endurance races in the world and a true test of consistency, focus, and racecraft. Kern’s style is simple: fair, clean, and competitive. He’s the kind of driver who will push you to the limit, but never put you in a bad spot—and that respect goes both ways. In a world where aggression often outweighs discipline, Kern stands out by proving you don’t have to sacrifice one to have the other.
Off the track, Kern works as a Producer/Director at FloRacing and channels his creativity into Grainmark by Justin, a woodworking brand built around crafting meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story.
STEVEN
BURNETT
Steven Burnett has been around racing his entire life. Growing up in a racing family, he was introduced to the sport early as his dad competed on track during the early 1990s. That foundation shaped a lifelong connection to motorsports that carried into his own driving career in the 2000s, where he competed in select events and gained firsthand experience behind the wheel.
In the 2010s, Burnett stayed deeply involved in the sport by working with late model teams, contributing both trackside and behind the scenes. That period strengthened his understanding of racecraft, team dynamics, and what it takes to compete at a high level.
He entered the sim racing world in 2012 through iRacing and quickly established himself as a consistent front-runner. Since then, he has earned multiple race wins and championships, building a reputation as a disciplined and competitive driver in the virtual garage. Today, he continues to compete while helping grow community-focused racing efforts and representing the next generation of drivers blending real-world roots with modern sim competition.
