Alex Kennedy is a professional stock car racing driver who competed primarily in NASCAR Xfinity and amateur multiclass road racing between 2004 and 2016. He drove for Rick Ware Racing in his NASCAR Xfinity campaign, which comprised the bulk of his indexed activity, and raced in NASA's Legends Pro and Semi-Pro classes, which field 5/8-scale 1930s-style coupes powered by motorcycle engines.[1]
His career spanned eight seasons and 22 starts. He took three podiums across his NASA entries between 2004 and 2007. In NASCAR Xfinity from 2010 to 2016, Kennedy started 16 races split between oval and road-course rounds, finishing his final indexed season in 37th in the championship standings.[2]
Kennedy's regular competition came against entry-level and established professionals in fields that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded drivers. He typically finished behind Mike Bliss, an entry-level professional with hundreds of NASCAR Xfinity starts, and Justin Allgaier, a 2024 NASCAR Xfinity champion and NASCAR Cup Series driver. Kennedy did finish ahead of established professionals including Michael McDowell, a Gold-graded driver and former Star Mazda champion who would later race in the NASCAR Cup Series, and Aric Almirola, a Cup Series regular.
