Driver Information
Kenneth was born and raised in the mountains of Northeast Georgia. He has had a love for automobiles since he was old enough to walk. The Disney movie "Cars" played a big part in Kenneth's interest in racing. When he was in first grade, Kenneth's mom read him parts of the "I have a Dream" speech by Dr. Martin Luther King. She had him write about what his dream was. Kenneth wrote that his dream was to drive a race car. When he was six-years-old he realized that dream when he drove his quarter midget car to a win in his first ever race. For the next couple of years, Kenneth drove quarter midget cars in several different classes, and racked up over 15 wins in the various divisions. At the age of eight Kenneth moved on the faster, more challenging Bandolero cars, and began racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway, finishing 2nd behind Corey Heim in his first Bandolero race. After three championships, and over 25 wins at several tracks in both of the Bandolero classes, Kenneth moved on to drive Legend Cars. Scoring podium finishes in his first 2 races in the Legend car, Kenneth drove to victory on a wet track at Atlanta Motor Speedway during the NASCAR Cup race weekend at AMS. Later on in the year, Kenneth won his first race in the Young Lions division during Thursday Thunder 2019. After only one year in Legend cars, Kenneth has moved into the Pro Division for 2020.
Apart from racing, Kenneth is a Cadet at Riverside Military Academy and a member of the youth group at Concord Baptist Church. He has a younger sister and a Boxer bulldog named Savannah. Kenneth plans on attending The United States Coast Guard Academy upon completion of high school.
