Louis Kingston is an American race car driver. During his career, he became known as Avenger for his penchant for swift payback on the racetrack. Interestingly, this nickname has seldom applied to his major league career until 2010. After being taken out of the 2010 Round of Great Britain early in the race by Franz Redlich, Kingston responded by shoving the German into a sand trap during practice for that year's running of the Karjala Grand Prix. The incident was overshadowed by the controversy surrounding Alexis Rainsford and many of the Team Saar USA drivers.

Kingston won the 2010 Round of Wisconsin while driving for FLASH Racing. In the following season, driving for DeGarmo Enterprises, he finished 7th after starting 31st in the 2011 Karjala Grand Prix after being the fastest car in post-qualifying practice. Channel 44 broadcasters Dan Mullen and Lance Andrews hailed Kingston's efforts in the race. He now drives for Star Team Nemoto in 2012 alongside Tom Delgado.
