Troy heads up VG Racing, a reference to Village Grocery in Waitsfield that he and his wife own. Despite multiple bouts with bad luck in 2010, Kingsbury maintained his positive attitude and remained one of the most popular drivers in the Street Stock Division. Securing a great sponsorship package with Mountain Dew, he starts 2011 with a new car, new energy and a new teammate, Ken Christman. Look for the combination to carry some Checkered Flags this year!
EVENT 1 - MERCHANTS BANK 150
MAY 1, 2011
That Mountain Dew sponsorship paid quick dividends as Troy had the crowd gathering around his car all day at the car show. Engine problems struck early....after having to trailer his car to the track instead of participating in the parade Troy just couldn't get things straightened out. Troy arrived at the track on Opening Day with a new motor....and it was fast! Kingsbury went high on the backstretch to avoid this wreck on his way to a 6th Place Finish on Opening Day EVENT 2 - MEKKELSEN RV MEMORIAL DAY CLASSIC
MAY 29, 2011 Troy looked strong all day Kingsbury avoids a spinning MC Ingram on his way to a 9th Place finish EVENT 3 - FERGUSON WATERWORKS
JUNE 16, 2011
Troy had to dodge spinning cars all night! In the heat it was Thomas Placey getting sent around before Kingsbury got to him

Troy is doing his best to entertain...with that in mind he received special permission from the track promoter
to run this light kit ONLY once and ONLY tonight and ONLY if he made it to the Feature. Good thing he won that Reserve!
He went on to a 9th place finish.
EVENT 7 - PEPSI HOLIDAY EVENTJULY 4, 2011

Mid-Season Track Championship with double points on the line
