Stuart Kirby

Stuart Kirby (born May 9, 1981 in Bowling Green, Kentucky) is a race car driver. He has driven in ARCA, the Busch Series, and the NEXTEL Cup Series. A former apprentice funeral director for his family's funeral home, he drove the #51 Chevrolet owned by Competitive Edge Motorsports in 2005, but was released before the season could be concluded. He currently owns a Bruster's Real Ice Cream franchise in Bowling Green, KY and is still pursuing a career in racing.

In late 2005, Kirby was featured alongside his wife in MTV's "The Reality Show" during a segment titled, "'Til Death Do Us Part". As of then, Kirby was assisting his family as a funeral director in their funeral home. The show never even mentioned Kirby's racing career.

On October 7, 2001, Stuart Kirby made his NASCAR Winston Cup Series debut at the UAW GM Quality 500. Kirby was taken out early in a crash involving Todd Bodine and Ricky Craven. He raced for Jimmy Spencer in Busch and Trucks, and had a lot of success in ARCA Racing, where he got his first career pole driving a car with the Boy Scout of America logo.

Stuart has been a vocal supporter of NASCAR.
