Kyle Benjamin is a professional stock car racing driver who competed in American single-seater and stock car championships between 2013 and 2019. He made 37 starts across the ARCA Menards Series, NASCAR Xfinity, NASCAR Truck, and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Benjamin's primary racing was in ARCA, where he scored three wins and eight podiums in 23 oval-track starts for CRC Brakleen. His NASCAR Xfinity campaign with Joe Gibbs Racing comprised eight starts, seven of them on ovals, yielding two podiums.[1]
Benjamin's best finishes came in ARCA Menards, a national championship mixing amateur and professional drivers. He took wins in that series and regularly ran ahead of entry-level professionals such as Thomas Praytor and the career-long semi-professional Josh Williams. His record against stronger opposition showed occasional results against the championship calibre; he finished ahead of Chase Briscoe, the 2016 ARCA champion, in four meetings, and ahead of Tyler Reddick, a two-time Xfinity champion, also four times. Benjamin's move to Joe Gibbs Racing marked his only tenure at an elite-level NASCAR organization, but he appeared in just five starts across its Xfinity and Truck entries and did not maintain a consistent presence there.[2]
