Timeline
Harold Edwin Kite (November 13, 1921 – October 17, 1965) was a NASCAR Grand National Series driver from East Point, Georgia.
In his brief Grand National Series career, Kite competed in nine events to earn one win and two top-ten finishes.
Piston issues very early in the LeHi race held at Memphis-Arkansas Speedway left him 25th, and various woes kept him to 43rd place in the Darlington Southern 500.
Kite did not keep early-season momentum on his side, finishing his other start that year with a last (29th) place showing at Columbia Speedway.
He recorded two midpack finishes to close out the year: a 38th in the inaugural event at Darlington and a 12th place in a small field at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
He started 38th in the history-breaking eighty-two car field at the Southern 500, completed most of the laps, and kept in shouting distance of the leaders to finish 6th.
Kite attended Commercial High School in Atlanta, graduating in 1939.
He joined the U.S. Army in June 1942, achieving the rank of first lieutenant the following January.
Kite served with the 1st Armored Division and was wounded in January 1944 during the Anzio landings.
He continued to serve in the Georgia National Guard while driving for NASCAR, and was a captain commanding the 201st Ordnance Medium Maintenance Company when he won at Daytona Beach.
Kite's debut came in 1950.
Starting third on the Daytona Beach Road Course, he quickly found his way to the lead.
From there, Kite led 38 of the 48 laps, holding off Red Byron by fifty-three seconds for the victory.
Kite's next two races would take place during the 1951 season when he finished a career-high 25th in points.
Kite tacked on two more starts a few years later, making his return during the 1955 season.
Kite made a new approach during his solo 1956 appearance, making his start at the tiny Shelby track located at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds.
Kite waited until 1965 to return to the sport, competing for the first time at the speedy Charlotte Motor Speedway.
It would be a tragic return for the former Army captain: Just one lap into the National 400, Kite was involved in a five-car pileup on the fourth turn.
Kite, 43, was pronounced dead on arrival at the infield hospital.
Kite was inducted into the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in 2011.
(key) ( Bold – Pole position awarded by qualifying time. Italics – Pole position earned by points standings or practice time. * – Most laps led. )
But even the small field of 17 could not be conquered by Kite, who fell several laps down and finished 11th.
