Kyle Krisiloff (born March 3, 1986) is an American race car driver from Indianapolis, Indiana. He is currently unemployed. His father is former Champ Car racer, Steve Krisiloff.
Kyle became the youngest BMX rider in the United States, when he began racing BMX bicycles at just three years old. He raced quarter midgets from 1995 to 1999, winning over 320 features and nine Grand National Championships.
In 2000, Krisiloff raced in Superkarts USA competition, winning two races and two pole positions. In 2001, he competed in twenty-two SCCA Formula Ford events, winning six races, six poles, and national championship at the historic SCCA Runoffs. In 2002, Kyle competed in Toyota Atlantic for the last six races of the year. He ran the full season in 2003, placing 10th in points. His best finish was a second at the Milwaukee Mile, which made him the youngest driver to score a podium finish in Toyota Atlantics.
In 2004, Kyle signed a driver development contract with Hendrick Motorsports and ran three ARCA races with Bobby Gerhart Racing and ten ASA races as part of the agreement. He started 3rd and finished 9th in his ARCA series debut at Lake Erie Speedway, and then finished 2nd at Nashville Superspeedway, before winning at Chicagoland Speedway in only his third series start. In ten ASA starts, he recorded a single top ten finish with a 4th at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
Kyle ran fourteen ARCA races in 2005, recording three top fives, five top tens, and two poles. He also competed in three NASCAR Busch Series races in the #5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. He failed to finish in his first two starts, recording a 19th in his third series race at Memphis Motorsports Park. Krisiloff was released from the Hendrick Motorsports driver development program late in 2005, shortly after the releases of fellow development drivers Boston Reid and Blake Feese.
After losing the Hendrick ride in 2005, Krisiloff moved to the Craftsman Truck Series in 2006, driving for Billy Ballew Motorsports. After twelve races, Krisiloff was released after a financial dispute between Krisiloff's father and the team.
