IN THE NEWS:
Robbie Kennealy ready to take on mentorship role at Jan’s Racing
In the three years he has been a part of the ARCA Menards Series West, Robbie Kennealy has endured an emotional whirlwind.
Kennealy saw the creation and subsequent dissolution of his family-owned team, all while being forced to grapple with the sudden loss of his father Gary. Yet, Kennealy persevered through that adversity to become a championship-caliber West Series competitor with Jan’s Racing Team, earning Rookie of the Year honors and his first victory at All American Speedway last season.
Now Kennealy is set to take on a different role with Jan Qualkenbush’s operation, that of a mentor. Despite being only 19 years old, Kennealy is the most senior member of Qualkenbush’s driver roster, with 15-year-old Cole Denton joining the program for the entire 2026 West Series campaign.
