Racer Overview
Mark Klenin is an American racing driver who began his professional career later in life, making his Pirelli World Challenge debut in 2012. Born on February 18, 1962, Klenin hails from Lone Tree, Colorado, and has been a part of the World Challenge America competition for several years. He's known for piloting the #62 car for Klenin Performance Racing (KPR). In the past, he has driven a McLaren 570S GT4 and a Sin R1 GT4.
Klenin's racing journey began after a coach at Byers Raceway noticed his driving talent and encouraged him to pursue racing. In 2017, driving a McLaren 570S GT4, he secured his first class win at Lime Rock Park in the GTSA class. He also finished third in the GTSA point standings that year. He has been under the tutelage of veteran racer and engineer Jackson Stewart.
Beyond racing, Klenin and his wife, Jamie, support animal rescues through their non-profit, Racing for Paws, partnering with World Challenge to raise awareness and funds for local animal rescues at race tracks. Klenin has even donated his winnings to the rescues they've worked with.
