Brian Goslee has been involved in racing at several different levels and is bringing a new team to the Kenyon Midget Series. The co-owner of Second Shift Motorsports with David Pease in Indianapolis with an extensive background in quarter-midget racing, Goslee is bringing Ohio driver Anthony Pease to the series in 2026.
Goslee started working with open-wheel teams including David Steele, Tracy Hines, AJ Fike and Billy Wease. He also served as a mechanic with IndyCar teams including the 2008 Chip Ganassi team that won the Indianapolis 500.
Goslee and Pease purchased a brand new Kenyon Midget from Brad Hayes Racing and is taking the next step up the racing ladder.
He explained that Anthony Pease will be 17 years old this summer and the age limit to compete in a Quarter-Midget is 16.
“We were looking at our options,” Goslee said. “There was Legends or a Micro-sprint, but I'm a big fan of Kenyon Midgets.”
Goslee said the Kenyon Midget Series and the yourBigplans.com500 Sprint Car Tour open possibilities for competitors wanting to continue their racing career.
The intention is to compete in seven Quarter-Midget events in 2026 and nine with the Kenyon Midget Series. Goslee said the team will miss the two races at Lincoln Park and the race at Salem Speedway.
“This is a great stepping stone,” he said of the Kenyon Midget Series and how a driver can progress in the future.
Goslee said the step up to a Kenyon Midget is not a financial hurdle for a team that was racing a Quarter-Midget. “I would like to bring more Quarter-Midget drivers into a Kenyon Midget in the future,” he said.
Pease, 16, is a sophomore in a Cleveland, Ohio High School and has been racing for four years. “I'm the first one in the family to race,” he said. “It was pure luck. I was at a soccer game and this total stranger said I was really short and asked if I raced,” Pease explained. “We got a Quarter-Midget and started racing.”
He said a Kenyon Midget is the next step up the racing ladder. “I'm really looking forward to it,” Pease said. “It would be nice to win rookie of the year, but I'm also interested in developing my skills.”
He said the future beyond a Kenyon Midget in racing depends on his development in the future. “A sprint car would be the next step,” Pease said.
