Currently: Testing with Venturini Motorsports | ARCA
Early on I learned to
love and respect the great outdoors. That's what you did growing up
in Independence, Missouri. Through family and friends
in the military, I learned the value of discipline which helped develop
my "can do" attitude. I enjoy being active. I fish, paint ball, 4-wheel,
and even hunt. I am good at archery, shooting rifles and handguns. My
parents instilled in me the importance of family, community, and collaboration
with others. I work in the family business and understand the meaning
of blood, sweat, and tears. Hard work equates to satisfaction. I
project a sense of honor, dignity, and pride in everything I do. Family
connects to extended family and extended family connects to my community.
My victories are our victories.
I remember the day my father and I lived
the Richard Petty Driver Experience. It only took a minute to energize
my soul. To give me passion. To give me purpose. I
believe I can succeed. I am a warrior with a passion to win with the
soul of a lion within.
It was great to see her in action at this recent test with Venturini at the Motormile. Prior to that all we had to go on was her confidence level and energy along with a strong track record up to this point. The day started off cautiously as she got acclimated to horsepower, but by end of day she had laps coming in under the 2013s rookie of the year when he first tested. We expect to see great things from Kendell in the years to come . - Jeff
