Travis Wade Kvapil ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|w|ɔː|p|əl}} {{respell|KWAW|pəl}}; born March 1, 1976){{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/news/headlines/cup/kvapil.bio/|title=Travis Kvapil's Biography|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2008-03-19|access-date=2008-06-18}} is an American professional stock car driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 1 Chevrolet Silverado for Beaver Motorsports.
He was the 2003 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion.
Early career
Kvapil grew up working on cars in his father's garage, and racing was a natural progression for the Wisconsin native. Kvapil began racing in 1992 at the age of 16 at Rockford Speedway, competing in the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series. He went on to win the American Short Tracker division track championship in 1994 at Rockford.{{cite web|url=http://www.wirace.com/news.html|title=Rockford Speedway is a "NASCAR home track"|last=Ramsell|first=Kevin|publisher=wirace.come|date=2007-03-06|access-date=2007-10-22|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207061059/http://www.wirace.com/news.html|archive-date=2012-02-07}} In 1995, he moved up to super late models at Madison International Speedway, "Wisconsin's Fastest Half-Mile", and was named the track Rookie of the Year. He also became the track's Late Model Champion a year later in 1996. This honor made Kvapil the youngest to ever capture the title at the track at the age of 20.
Kvapil moved to the ARTGO Series, a Midwest asphalt short-track motor-racing touring series. He finished in the top-10 in points from 1998–2000.

In 2001, Kvapil made his debut in the Craftsman Truck Series driving for Addington Racing in the No. 60 CAT Rental Stores-sponsored Chevrolet.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2001/1/data/results_official.html|title=2001 Official Race Results: Florida Dodge Dealers 250|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2001-02-16|access-date=2008-06-17}} In his 21st start, Kvapil won his first Truck Series race in the Silverado 350 at Texas Motor Speedway.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2001/21/data/results_official.html|title=2001 Official Race Results: Silverado 350|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2001-10-05|access-date=2008-06-17}} Kvapil's 18 Top 10's led him to finish fourth in the driver standings{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2001/data/standings_official.html|title=2001 Official Driver Standings: Auto Club 200|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=2008-06-17}} and win the Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2001/data/standings_rookie.html|title=2001 Rookie Standings|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=2008-06-17}} Kvapil also got to drive a race with powerhouse Richard Childress Racing at Kentucky in the Busch Series, but he ran poorly before flipping his car in a late crash.
In 2002, Kvapil managed to match his win total by winning the O'Reilly Auto Parts 200 at Memphis Motorsports Park. He finished the season with 14 Top 10's and finished ninth in the final driver points standings.
Funding issues at Addington caused Kvapil to switch to the No. 16 IWX MotorFreight-sponsored Chevrolet for Steve Coulter's Xpress Motorsports team in 2003. He won one race during the season at Bristol Motor Speedway in the O'Reilly 200 presented by Valvoline Maxlife. Kvapil finished the season with 22 Top 10's in 25 races (88 percent).{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2003/25/data/standings_official.html|title=2003 Official Driver Standings: Ford 200|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=2008-06-18}} Kvapil passed Brendan Gaughan and Ted Musgrave in points at the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Gaughan wrecked and Musgrave was black flagged during the race, giving the green flag to Kvapil as he was crowned the 2003 Craftsman Truck Series champion.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2003/24/data/standings_official.html|title=2003 Official Driver Standings: Chevy Silverado 150|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=2008-06-18}} He was recorded at 99.9 percent lap completion rate, only missing one lap throughout the 2003 season.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/drivers/dps/tkvapil00/truck/data/2003/index.html|title=Travis Kvapil|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=2008-06-18}}
Prior to the start of the 2004 season, Kvapil began a partnership with Alexander Meshkin to drive the No. 24 Line-X Spray-on Bedliners / eBay Bang! Racing-sponsored Toyota. Kvapil came away with his first win of the season during the Line-X Spray-on Truck Bedliners 200 at Michigan International Speedway. The win gave Toyota their first win in the top-tiers of NASCAR. Two months later, Kvapil won at New Hampshire International Speedway. The same season, Kvapil won his first Bud Pole Award in the Craftsman Truck Series{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2004/20/data/results_official.html|title=2004 Official Race Results: American Racing Wheels 200|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2004-10-02|access-date=2008-06-18}} at the American Racing Wheels 200 at California Speedway. He finished eight in the final driver standings of the season.

During the 2004 NASCAR seasons, Kvapil signed for a driver development program with Roger Penske, in hopes of moving up to the Cup Series while bypassing the Busch Series. It was believed by many that Penske was planning to bring Kvapil to the Cup Series for 2005 while he had minimal Busch Series experience; Penske and Kvapil did not comment the truth or falseness of the rumors. However, at the end of the 2004 season, Kvapil made his first NEXTEL Cup Series start at Martinsville Speedway. Kvapil drove the No. 06 Mobil 1-sponsored Dodge, the fourth car on the track from Penske Racing. He made three additional starts in the No. 06 in preparation for driving Penske Racing's No. 77 in 2005.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2004/news/headlines/cup/10/20/tkvapil_martinsville/index.html|title=Kvapil gets Nextel Cup ride for Martinsville|last=Rodman|first=Dave|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2004-10-20|access-date=2008-06-14}} In 2005, Kvapil took over the Penske's No. 77 Kodak-sponsored Dodge full-time, replacing Brendan Gaughan.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2004/news/headlines/official/12/10/tkvapil_qa/index.html|title=Q&A: Travis Kvapil|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2004-12-10|access-date=2008-06-14}}
Kvapil scored his first ever Nextel Cup Series Top 10 at Bristol Motor Speedway when he finished seventh in the Food City 500.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2005/5/data/results_official.html|title=2005 Official Race Results: Food City 500|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2005-04-03|access-date=2008-06-14}} He picked up another Top 10 at Phoenix International Raceway during the Checker Auto Parts 500. These two Top 10 finishes pushed Kvapil to finish 33rd in the point standings during his first season in the series. When the season ended, the Penske Racing No. 77 team temporarily disbanded when Kodak pulled out of the sponsorship deal.{{cite web|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=40977|title=Waltrip meets with France, prospective sponsors|last=Spencer|first=Lee|publisher=Sporting News|date=2005-12-04|access-date=2008-06-14|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216162015/http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=40977|archive-date=2008-12-16}}{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2005/news/headlines/cup/12/08/tkvapil_opportunities/index.html|title=Kvapil free to explore other opportunities|publisher=Team Press Release|date=2005-12-10|access-date=2008-06-14}}
After his departure from Penske, Kvapil signed with PPI Motorsports for the 2006 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. He drove the No. 32 Tide-sponsored Chevrolet for the 2006 season.{{cite web|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=46982|title=Kvapil to take over PPI's No. 32|last=Spencer|first=Lee|publisher=Sporting News|date=2005-12-22|access-date=2008-06-14|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070807075100/http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=46982|archive-date=2007-08-07}} He had his best finishes of the season at Kansas Speedway, Pocono Raceway, and Talladega Superspeedway, where he finished 19th in all three of those events.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2006/29/data/results_official.html|title=2006 Official Race Results: Banquet 400 presented by ConAgra Foods|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2006-10-01|access-date=2008-06-14}}{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2006/14/data/results_official.html|title=2006 Official Race Results: Pocono 500|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2006-06-11|access-date=2008-06-14}}{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2006/9/data/results_official.html|title=2006 Official Race Results: Aaron's 499|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2006-05-01|access-date=2008-06-14}} Kvapil finished the season 36th in points, and was forced to find a new ride for the next season as his PPI contract only lasted one year.{{cite web|url=http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/sprintcupseries/kvapil_wimmer_still_unsigned_for_2007.html|title=Kvapil, Wimmer still unsigned for 2007|last=Pockrass|first=Bob|publisher=SceneDaily.com|date=2006-08-20|access-date=2008-06-14|archive-date=2010-08-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100825234349/http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/sprintcupseries/kvapil_wimmer_still_unsigned_for_2007.html|url-status=dead}} PPI eventually shut down after the 2006 due to the inability to find a sponsor to replace Tide.

In 2007, Jack Roush, owner of Roush Racing, offered Kvapil a seat in the No. 6 Ford F-150 in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Kvapil replaced Mark Martin in the truck, who moved to Ginn Racing, and David Ragan, who was promoted to replace Martin in the No. 6 Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2006/news/headlines/truck/11/14/tkvapil.roush.2007/index.html|title=Kvapil will return to Trucks with Roush in '07|publisher=Team Press Release|date=2006-11-15|access-date=2008-06-15}}{{cite web|url=http://www.racingone.com/article.aspx?artnum=32161|title=2007 MB2 Lineup Complete|publisher=RacingOne Report|date=2006-11-10|access-date=2008-06-18}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}{{cite web|url=http://www.racingone.com/article.aspx?artnum=31568|title=Ragan Tabbed for No. 6|publisher=RacingOne Report|date=2006-10-11|access-date=2008-06-18}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }} Jack Roush, excited about signing with Kvapil, said, “We are pleased beyond measure that we were able to get a driver the caliber of Travis Kvapil. At only 30 years old with a Truck championship and two years of Sprint Cup experience under his belt, Travis brings great long and short term potential to and for Roush Racing.” He finished the season with four wins, three poles, eight Top 5s and 12 Top 10s. He finished the season sixth in the driver point standings. He returned to Roush Fenway Racing as a part-time driver in 2008 when Joey Clanton was released from the No. 09 Ford.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/truck/02/20/tkvapil.california/index.html|title=Clanton out; Kvapil to drive Roush No. 09 at California|publisher=Team Press Release|date=2008-02-20|access-date=2008-06-15}}{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/truck/03/05/tkvapil.roush.lineup/index.html|title=Kvapil among three drivers to pilot Roush's Truck entry|publisher=Team Press Release|date=2008-03-05|access-date=2008-06-15}}
Roush recognized Kvapil's talents, and helped return to Cup with Yates Racing in 2008.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/09/07/ryates.tkvapil.rrudd/index.html|title=Yates to retire, hand team to son at end of season|last=Rodman|first=Dave|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2007-09-08|access-date=2008-06-18}} Kvapil drove the famous No. 28 Yates Ford Fusion.{{cite web|url= https://www.espn.com/racing/news/story?seriesId=2&id=3117554|title=RYR hoping Kvapil will continue successful tradition of No. 28|last=Newton|first=David|work=ESPN.com|date=2007-11-18|access-date=2008-06-14}} Prior to the start of the season, Kvapil and teammate David Gilliland did not have a full-time sponsorship on their Yates Racing Fords.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/cup/01/08/yates.racing.testing.dgilliland.tkvapil/index.html|title=Sponsorless Yates moves forward with clean slate|last=Aumann|first=Mark|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2008-01-08|access-date=2008-06-14}} While Gilliland's team found full-time sponsorship, Kvapil's team had to piece together sponsorship throughout the season. K&N Filters-sponsored Kvapil's team for the Daytona 500.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/cup/02/09/tkvapil.d500.sponsor/index.html|title=K&N to sponsor Kvapil's No. 28 for Daytona 500|publisher=Team Release|date=2008-02-09|access-date=2008-06-14}} Two weeks later, Kvapil scored an eighth-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway during the UAW-Dodge 400.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2008/3/data/results_official.html|title=2008 Official Race Results: UAW-Dodge 400|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2008-03-02|access-date=2008-06-14}} The finish at LVMS, which was in an unsponsored car, gave Kvapil his third Top 10 of his career. After the race, it was announced that Zaxby's would serve as a sponsorship for the No. 28 team in the Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway,{{cite web|url=http://www.racingone.com/article.aspx?artnum=40785|title=Kvapil Lands Atlanta Sponsor|publisher=RacingOne Report|date=2008-03-06|access-date=2008-06-18}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }} a race in which he finished 29th.

Kvapil picked up another Top 10 finish in the Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2008/11/data/results_official.html|title=2008 Official Race Results: Dodge Challenger 500|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=2008-05-10|access-date=2008-06-14}} Despite the lack of sponsorship for the year, Kvapil collected another four Top 10 finishes, finishing 23rd in the points standings. He also won the pole at the fall Talladega race, which turned out to be the last pole award for Yates Racing.{{cite web|url= http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2008/data/standings_official.html|title=2008 Official Driver Standings: Pepsi 500|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=2009-03-21}}
In 2009, Kvapil returned to the No. 28, but the team was forced to close after six races due to lack of funding. Yates Racing ended up shutting down after the season. Kvapil qualified for several drivers through the rest of the year, but did not have a full-time ride.

In 2010, Kvapil returned to a full-time ride in the Long John Silver's-sponsored Ford for Front Row Motorsports. This car changed numbers throughout the year, using either No. 34, No. 37, or No. 38, depending on each number's position in points (with the goal being to get all three cars in the Top 35 for 2011). In 2011, Kvapil returned to FRM full-time in the No. 38 car, but signed up to compete for the Camping World Truck Series championship with Randy Moss Motorsports in their No. 5 Toyota. After 10 races, however, Kvapil was released in favor of defending Truck champion Todd Bodine, whose Germain Racing team partnered with RMM to continue running that driver for 2011. Kvapil stuck with FRM in the Cup Series, driving their No. 38 for most races, except in several late-season races, J. J. Yeley swapped rides with Kvapil several times, with the latter driving FRM's start and park No. 55.
Leaving FRM after the end of the 2011 season, Kvapil was signed by BK Racing to compete in the Sprint Cup Series for 2012. He drove the No. 93 Toyota starting with the second race of the year at Phoenix with Todd Anderson serving as crew chief;{{cite web|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/David-Reutimann-gets-Daytona-500-ride-with-BK-Racing-021412|title=Reutimann's Daytona ride is with BK|last=Spencer|first=Lee|date=February 14, 2012|work=Fox Sports|access-date=2012-02-15}} At Darlington, where David Reutimann drove the No. 93, Kvapil drove the No. 73 for BK Racing, though he drove the No. 93 for the remainder of the season.{{cite web|url=http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/cup-bk-racing-to-field-third-car-at-darlington/|title=BK Racing To Field Third Car At Darlington|date=May 10, 2012|work=SPEED Channel|publisher=Fox Sports|access-date=2012-05-10|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513071302/http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/cup-bk-racing-to-field-third-car-at-darlington/|archive-date=May 13, 2012}} He also drove for RAB Racing in the season-opening Camping World Truck Series event, replacing a suspended John Wes Townley.{{cite web|url=http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/trucks-travis-kvapil-to-drive-in-nextera-energy-resources-250-at-daytona/|title=Kvapil To Drive In NextEra Energy Resources 250 At Daytona|date=February 20, 2012|work=SPEED Channel|publisher=Fox Sports|access-date=2012-02-20|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120221062238/http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/trucks-travis-kvapil-to-drive-in-nextera-energy-resources-250-at-daytona/|archive-date=February 21, 2012}} Kvapil ended the 2012 Cup season 27th in points, his second best finish in the points since his debut.
However, in 2013, both Kvapil and BK Racing struggled. Kvapil dropped to 31st in points, recording five Top 20 finishes but nine DNFs (including five blown engines).

During Speedweeks 2014, Kvapil announced that he had signed to drive in the Sprint Cup Series for Go FAS Racing on a limited basis,{{cite web|url=http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/02/21/3644077/buddy-baker-bill-elliott-among.html|title=Buddy Baker, Bill Elliott among 20 NASCAR Hall of Fame nominees|last=Utter|first=Jim|date=February 21, 2014|work=Charlotte Observer|access-date=2014-02-22|location=Charlotte, NC|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140308170402/http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/02/21/3644077/buddy-baker-bill-elliott-among.html|archive-date=March 8, 2014}} as well as for MAKE Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series.{{cite web|url=http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/246199021.html|title=Travis Kvapil has NASCAR truck ride, Sprint Cup plans|last=Kallmann|first=Dave|date=February 19, 2014|work=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|access-date=2014-02-22|location=Milwaukee, WI}} On August 12, it was announced that Kvapil would replace Townley in the No. 05 Athenian Motorsports Toyota for the Truck race at Michigan.{{cite web|last=Estrada|first=Chris|url=http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/12/nascar-trucks-john-wes-townley-to-miss-saturdays-race-at-michigan/|title=NASCAR Trucks: John Wes Townley to miss Saturday's race at Michigan|publisher=NBC Sports|date=August 12, 2014|access-date=2014-08-12}} Kvapil also ran several late-season races for Circle Sport, tying his best career finish of sixth at Talladega. Also in the fall, he returned to BK Racing to run the No. 83 Toyota in several races after the team released rookie Ryan Truex. Kvapil was scheduled to make a qualifying attempt for the 2015 Cup season at Atlanta, driving the No. 44 Chevrolet for Team Xtreme, but was forced to withdraw when his car, hauler and truck were stolen from a hotel parking lot. For 2015, Kvapil mostly raced in the truck series driving the No. 1 Chevrolet for MAKE Motorsports. Later that season, Kvapil attempted some races for Curtis Key's team, but the team was struggling to qualify, and Kvapil DNQed in all of his attempts.
In 2016, Kvapil announced that he would run the full Camping World Truck Series season with MAKE Motorsports once again.{{Cite web|title = MAKE Motorsports - Kvapil Returns To Trucks With MAKE|url = http://makemotorsports.com/news/?cid=64226|website = makemotorsports.com|access-date = 2016-01-24}} In the season opener at Daytona, Kvapil scored a fifth-place finish. He also made his return to the Xfinity Series, driving the No. 15 Ford for B. J. McLeod Motorsports at Richmond and Talladega.
Kvapil continued to drive the No. 50 truck for MAKE, now known as Beaver Motorsports, in 2017.{{cite web|url=http://www.catchfence.com/254766/beaver-motorsports-announces-2017-nascar-camping-world-truck-series-entry|title=Beaver Motorsports announces 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series entry|work=Catchfence|date=February 16, 2017|access-date=February 16, 2017}} He also drove for MB Motorsports and Bolen Motorsports. Kvapil only attempted the first two races in 2018, making Daytona, where he finished last. He made just one start in 2019, which was at Martinsville. Kvapil has not raced in NASCAR since 2019.
