Actually Ron,
It is kinetic energy. An example of stored energy would be the spring in a wind up clock. As the clock releases the stored energy from the spring by turning its hands, that would be an example of kinetic energy.

Shawn,
Nice explanation. I just have one comment. It is actually potential energy that is stored in the flywheel.

The best way I know to explain it is a flexplate is used with an
automatic transmission and is usually lighter and thinner. Its basic
role is to give a place to use the starter on. Whereas the flywheel on
a manual transmission car is much heavier and actually stores kinetic
energy to help move the car during take-off.
I'm sure we'll get lots more (better) explanations than this though.
