Burton "Burt" Jenner is an American businessman, owner of West LA Dogs, and a professional off-road racing driver.[1][2]
Early life[edit]
Jenner was born on September 6, 1978[2] to Chrystie Scott (née Crownover) and Olympic decathlete Caitlyn Jenner.[3][1][4][5] Burt is named after his father's brother, who was killed in a car accident. He has one full-sister, Casey. His parents divorced in 1981.[5][6] His father later remarried twice, and Burt gained half-siblings Brandon Jenner, Brody Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner.[7] His step-siblings included members of the Kardashian family through his father's marriage to Kris Jenner.[7][8] Jenner has said that after his father remarried they had a strained relationship, as Caitlyn was not always present.[1][7][9] He blamed Kris Jenner for changing his relationship with his father, but later apologized and now speaks with his father regularly.[8] He has stated that he and his sister, Casey, were not invited to participate in Keeping Up with the Kardashians.[8][10] Jenner later appeared on four episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and one episode of Call Me Cait.[11]
In the 1980s, Burt's father, Caitlyn Jenner raced professionally for Jack Roush in the International Motor Sports Association.[1][7] Burt grew up watching his father race and developed his own love for racing.[1] His father introduced him to go-karts at age seven, which quickly replaced downhill skiing as his favorite sport.[1][7][6]
Career[edit]
West LA Dogs[edit]
In his early 30s, Jenner was broke when he decided to become a dog walker.[1][12] Jenner was a pit bull advocate, and because of his comfort in working with pit bulls, he began to attract clients who wanted him to assist them in socializing their dogs.[1][8] Jenner began illegally housing his clients' dogs when they were away, at one point hosting seventy-three dogs over a Christmas holiday out of his two-bedroom cottage.[1] After winning $100,000 on season two of Octane Academy, the largest amount of money Jenner had ever earned, he invested it in a legitimate dog boarding business, which he called "West LA Dogs".[1] West LA Dogs is located in a 14,000 square foot facility.[1] Not wanting to ask his father to co-sign the lease, Jenner used his entire $100,000 winnings as a down payment for the facility and began living at the facility with his girlfriend, Valerie Patalo.[1][8] It was profitable eighteen months later.[1] West LA Dogs provides organic food, and owners can pay for their dog to stay in private suites with human beds and flat-screen TVs.[1][11]
Racing[edit]
When he was sixteen, his father gave him an old racing kart.[6] Jenner unsuccessfully attempted to start a career through attending racing schools, including Skip Barber Racing.[7][6] In 2011, Jenner watched the first season of Octane Academy, a racing competition show by Ford Performance, and realized he could beat all of the contestants on the show.[1] Later, Burt went to audition for the show at the California Speedway.[1] He waited in line for nine hours and was one of the last people to audition.[1][7] After his audition, Jenner was chosen for the show and was later the winner of season two of Octane Academy, earning $100,000, which he put toward his business, West LA Dogs.[1][7] In August 2013, Burt and his father raced alongside each other in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Series.[13][14]
Jenner is sponsored by Gladiator Tires.[1][15] In 2014, Jenner raced in five Stadium Super Trucks events, placing third in Las Vegas during his final event of 2014.[2][16] His third place win in Las Vegas was his first podium finish of his career.[16][17] He participated in the 2014 Baja 1000 alongside his father, Caitlyn Jenner.[1][18] They competed as part of Potts Racing Team, driving a customized trophy truck.[19][20] After crashing their truck three times, they pulled out of the race.[21][13]
In 2015, Jenner placed in four events, with three wins.[2][1] His first win of 2015 was in St. Petersburg, Florida.[1][7][22] In May 2015, Jenner won the SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Series truck race on Belle Isle.[7][9] Jenner also received the trophy for the overall winner for the three-race weekend.[7][23]
In 2016, Jenner finished first in the second race of the season opener at the Adelaide Street Circuit in Australia.[24][25] During the race, Matt Mingay nearly landed on Jenner during a rollover, but Jenner went on to win the race.[24]
In April 2017, Jenner joined AF Racing, making his debut for the team in the Red Bull Global Rallycross Lites in Memphis.[14][26] In the first round of the Rallycross Lites, Jenner placed 10th.[27] After completing eight places, Jenner was disqualified.[28]
X Games[edit]
In the X Games Austin 2014, Jenner placed 13th in TRK Racing.[2] Jenner qualified second for the X Games Austin 2015 and was on the front row.[1][29] Early in the race, another driver spun him out, and Jenner could not make up the lost time.[1] Jenner placed sixth in the 2015 games.[2]
Personal life[edit]
Jenner has two kids with his girlfriend, Valerie Pitalo.[30] His first son, Bodhi Burton Jenner, was born in July 2016.[31][32] Jenner has a vacation home near Lake Tahoe.[11] Jenner has been homeless twice.[1] Jenner once volunteered to spend a week in an L.A. County jail because he could not afford $15,000 in accumulated traffic fines.[1] He is a supporter of the LGBT community and defended his father during her transition, and made an appearance on his father's Diane Sawyer interview.[21][33]
