Ross Kenseth is a professional stock car racer who competed in national oval-track championships across ARCA Menards, NASCAR Xfinity and NASCAR Truck between 2013 and 2015. He raced primarily for Federated Auto Parts, the team owned by Ken Schrader, and has since retired from active competition.[1]
Over three seasons and seven starts, Kenseth took one win and two podiums. His single victory came in the ARCA Menards Series in 2015. His NASCAR Xfinity campaign in 2015 yielded two starts and a 29th-place finish in the championship standings; his lone NASCAR Truck start came the same year with Hattori Racing Enterprises.[2]
Kenseth raced in fields that mixed amateur, semi-professional and professional drivers. He finished ahead of Austin Cindric, the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity champion and an elite-level professional, twice, and ahead of Chase Elliott, the 2014 NASCAR Xfinity and 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion, once. Against the professional drivers he faced most regularly, he typically ran competitively; he finished ahead of Josh Williams in their head-to-head meetings and was closely matched with Daniel Suรกrez, the 2016 NASCAR Xfinity champion.
