Alex “Kid” Kennedy will be making a return run with R3 Motorsports for this weekend’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Gateway International Raceway. The recent high-school graduate of Aztec, N.M. will pilot the #23 MediaMaster Chevy under the lights of the 1.25-mile tricky oval on Saturday night. Kennedy made his first NNS start at Road America last month posting the 10th-fastest time in the final practice, qualified 15th and was running 10th with nine laps remaining before getting taken out from behind and t-boned by another car to finish 28th.(R3 Motorsports PR)(7-12-2010)
