In 1992, Kevin and his wife Debora created The Racer's Group (TRG) as a Porsche Club Racing business that has grown into much more.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theracersgroup.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=190&Itemid=29 )〕 1995 saw Buckler take his first start as a professional driver. He would go on to win that race, beginning a notable career in professional motor sports. Off the track the same year, Kevin and his wife, along with friends, opened Adobe Road Winery in Sonoma County California. In 2002, TRG with support from Porsche Factory, won the GT class at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Buckler would lead TRG to 3 more GT class wins in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, including an overall 1st place in 2003.
