Rheem, Menards and Richard Childress Racing are committed to championing the NASCAR XFINITY Series charge to be the series where ‘names are made, and each have long histories of supporting aspiring drivers from local short tracks to NASCAR’s feeder series. Ben Kennedy will be the latest up-and-coming driver to be given that opportunity when he climbs into the #2 Chevrolet Camaro for nine NXS races, the first of which will be at Talladega Superspeedway this spring. Kennedy has worked his way up through the NASCAR development ladder. In 2016, he competed full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and secured his first NASCAR national touring series win at Bristol Motor Speedway in August. He also finished 10th in his NXS debut last season at Iowa Speedway, driving the #2 Ruud Chevrolet for RCR. Dillon, Menard and Kennedy will share the #2 Chevrolet Camaro throughout the 2017 season.(Richard Childress Racing)
