Up Close & Personal With Kenny Nowling, President/CEO & Co-Founder, American Drag Racing League

"Kenny Nowling is an American success story. He is Founder, President, and CEO of three O’Fallon, Missouri based companies: American Drag Racing League, Arabian Drag Racing League, and Fight Me MMA. At age 38, Nowling has achieved phenomenal success as an entrepreneur. His accomplishments are even more impressive when aligned with his personal experiences. In high school, he learned his grandmother – who rescued him from abuse and raised him – was dying of lung cancer. He left school to help support her. Not content to struggle on minimum wage, he began his entrepreneurial career by founding a professional repo business called Sandpiper Recovery. Several years later, Nowling successfully sold the company. He then bought into Saint Louis Investigation Agency as a 50/50 partner, where he remained from 1995-2001.
