From The Driver:

"What an experience. We ran around the top 15 all race long, being patient and missing all of the wrecks. We put ourselves in great position and got a perfect last restart. While passing for a shot at a Top 5 on the white flag a car spun on my outside and I just had nowhere to go. I ended up saving it to a 15th place finish. If anyone would’ve told me that I’d race Daytona, on FS1, qualify in the top 10, and finish in the top 15 with a relatively clean car I would’ve never believed it. So blessed to have a lifetime opportunity and something I’ve dreamed and worked towards my whole life. Truly blessed!"

This promising start to the 2026 racing season sets a positive tone for both Robbie Kennealy and Jan's Racing Team. With their focused aimed at the ARCA Menards West series, their performance on the national stage has energized their campaign for the upcoming races.
