Kurtis Ruszkowski, the short block specialist for Kyle Wurtzel racing is a maintenance mechanic and truck driver for Xtreme Edge Excavating Inc. in Bolingbrook, IL. Kurtis became interested in racing when he and his brother, Andy, worked on the Chicago Fire pro-nostalgia funny car.

Kurtis enjoys the “controlled chaos” at the track that goes along with servicing cars. (This is a plus because things definitely get chaotic!)

Kurtis has many fond memories of racing from a first round win at Bristol with Bruce Litton to his time with Pat Dakin and Leah Pritchett.

We are grateful for Kurtis’ help and continued support!
