The combination race with the ARCA Menards Series has attracted an outstanding 43-car field and will air live on FS1 at 6pm Mountain Time / 5pm Pacific Time.

Friday’s races kick off full-time campaigns for Kennealy and Keller for their namesake team, owned by the mother and daughter duo of Francesca and Harley Kennealy. Dart is slated to compete in at least eight races in the series as well.

19-year-old Keller has made 22 starts in the West Series with 13 top-tens and six top-fives, with a strong fifth place finish in the Phoenix opener in 2023. 18-year-old Kennealy made five starts in his debut season in 2023, earning a career-high fifth place finish in his inaugural race at Irwindale.

Keller is two-time Madera Speedway Short Track Shootout $10,000 winner for Pro Late Models and the 2022 series champion. Kennealy tied for the 2022 Jr. Late Model championship at Madera Speedway and competed in Pro Late Models in 2023.

Dart shares similar roots, with the 16-year-old coming to KKM Driver Development after claiming the 2021 Jr. Late Model championship at Stateline Speedway in Stateline, Idaho. The trio have a rigorous background of competing above their years and will lean on that experience against the best drivers in the ARCA platform during the challenging race.

Clovis-based Setting the Stage, owned by Jason and Mandy Lawton, are the primary sponsors for KKM in 2024.

Team manager John Keller can be reached at (702) 410-0200 for rental opportunities for Jr. Late Models, Pro Late Models, Super Late Models, and ARCA. For driver development and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Francesca Kennealy at (925) 437-8425.
