Madeline has explained that she plans on getting into the ARCSOA Elite Series as early as she can. That would put her in the series in Season 21. Myatt's youngest child Ian, was diagnosed with DOWNS syndrome. Myatt's wife Madison is the leading pediatric neurologist in the state of Ohio, and was recently promoted to the board of directors of the National Pediatric Neurology board. Madison is also the shortest significant other in the paddock, clocking in at 4 foot 9 inches tall.  All 3 of their kids tend to spend their weekends either with one of Madison's sisters, or either set of grandparents. Very rarely do you see Myatt's kids at the ARCSOA Elite Series track. Kenny Myatt is also one of the shortest drivers on the grid, only clocking in at 5 foot 9 inches. Myatt typically isn't the partying type of person. However he has stated that he was a wilder teenager.
