Dean "Karnage" Kearney
With his attacking style and technical prowess, Dean “Karnage” Kearney is one of the world’s top drifters. With one European championship already under his belt, this 30-year-old is just coming into his prime. With an ever-growing fan base, Dean’s flat out, pin-it-to-win-it attitude behind the wheel along with his podium winning Dodge Viper appeals to both drift and Motorsport fans alike. It’s obvious that his greatest accolades are ahead of him. Dean’s maturity is well beyond his years and his ferocious hunger for a world championship title drives his fight for podiums across the globe. Dean and the Arclight Racing Team are truly a force to be reckoned with next season and beyond.
