Before he was in NASCAR, Spikes served honorably for the United States Air Force.[1] During his spare time, Spikes would devote his time to operating a company specializing in heavy equipment.[1] CareerSpikes officially drove in 1755 laps of professional stock car racing action; which is the equivalent of {{convert|2695.3|mi|km}}.[1] The primary manufacturers for this driver were Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Dodge.[2][3] While he enjoyed an average start of 31st place; racing skills developed on the track allowed him to improve on his unimpressive starts with an average finish of 26th place.[1][3] Spikes would earn a grand total of $8,235 from his entire NASCAR driving career (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|8235|1970|r=2}}}} when adjusted for inflation).[1][3] He would fail to qualify for one race only: the 1967 National 500 set in prestigious Charlotte Motor Speedway (Concord, North Carolina).[4] After retiring from racing, he devoted his life to religion and became a minister. As a faithful church-goer at the Listonia Christian Mission, Spikes knew that he would be attracted to the ministry and became Reverend Ken Spikes.[1] He died at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, Georgia; leaving behind his wife Miriam (née Dean) along with four daughters, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.[5] Titles, honours and awardsShorthand titles
