🇺🇸 Kenny Hendrick

Kenny Hendrick is a semi-professional racing in oval stock car and multiclass endurance series. His primary indexed record spans NASCAR Xfinity between 2003 and 2009, where he completed 41 starts for Specialty Racing on ovals throughout the United States. He has returned to racing in recent years, competing in American Endurance Racing's Class 4 category from 2023 to 2024, and in the World Racing League's GP1 production-based class from 2026 with All Star Racing.[1]

Across 48 starts in the indexed record, Hendrick has taken one win and two podiums. His breakthrough came in the 2026 World Racing League season, which is still in progress; he has won one of the two rounds run to date and sits 26th in the championship standings. His American Endurance Racing stint produced one podium across five starts. The NASCAR Xfinity years, which represent the bulk of his early career, yielded no wins or podiums across four complete seasons of oval racing.[2]

Hendrick has raced regularly against professional-level drivers in both stock car and endurance formats. In NASCAR Xfinity he competed most often against Jason Keller and Mike Bliss, both higher-rated professionals with substantial series experience, and typically finished behind them. He has finished ahead of elite and established professionals on occasion; most notably, he beat Kevin Harvick twice in Xfinity competition, and Denny Hamlin once, though these remain isolated results against drivers of considerably greater standing.
