Career
Before he was in National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, Spikes served honorably for the United States Air Force. During his spare time, Spikes would devote his time to operating a company specializing in heavy equipment. Spikes officially drove in 1755 laps of professional stock car racing action.
Which is the equivalent of 2,695.3 miles (4,3377 km).
The primary manufacturers for this driver were Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Dodge. While he enjoyed an average start of 31st place.
Racing skills developed on the track allowed him to improve on his unimpressive starts with an average finish of 26th place. Spikes would earn a grand total of $8,235 from his entire National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing driving career ($50,17916 when adjusted for inflation).
He would fail to qualify for one race only: the 1967 National 500 set in prestigious Charlotte Motor Speedway (Concord, North Carolina).
After retiring from racing, he devoted his life to religion and became a minister. As a faithful church-goer at the Listonia Christian Mission, Spikes knew that he would be attracted to the ministry and became Reverend Ken Spikes. Shorthand titles – November 16, 2009: Reverend.
