Born and raised in Canada, Eric Latino’s passion for drag racing started at just 16 years old. Over the years, he built an impressive career in Pro Mod, earning numerous event wins and becoming one of Canada’s most accomplished drivers in the class. In 2017, Eric set the NHRA Pro Mod national elapsed-time record at the Gatornationals, and his accomplishments in the sport earned him a spot in the Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 2019.
In 2023, Eric took on a new challenge and made the move to NHRA Pro Stock, becoming the first Canadian to compete full-time in the class in nearly a decade. That same year, he also became co-owner of KB Titan Racing alongside Jim Whiteley. Together, they stepped into their new roles following Ken Black’s retirement with the goal of continuing the winning tradition and history that KB Racing was built on.
Behind the wheel of the GESi Chevrolet Camaro, Eric continues to learn and make progress in one of the toughest classes in drag racing. His experience as a racer and team owner gives him a unique perspective, and his passion for the sport can be seen both on and off the track.
Away from racing, Eric serves as CEO of Global Emissions Systems Inc. (GESi), a worldwide leader in high-performance emissions technology. Whether he is behind the wheel, working with the team, or leading his business, Eric brings the same drive and determination to everything he does.
As both a driver and co-owner of KB Titan Racing, Eric continues to play an important role in the future of the organization while building on a lifelong passion for drag racing.
