Statesville N.C. (April 17, 2017) — Ben Kennedy confirms a multi-race NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) schedule with GMS Racing for the 2017 season. With 12 NXS races already set, Kennedy will pilot the No. 96 Chevrolet Camaro alongside teammate Spencer Gallagher beginning at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May.
“I am really excited to be competing with GMS Racing in the XFINITY Series,” said Ben Kennedy. “The conversation to get me in the second car has been on-going since the end of last season. Everyone that works at GMS is so dedicated to the team. There’s a sense of family at the shop and at the track so I’m glad everything has finally lined up. GMS has shown speed this year in both series and I know that they will give me the necessary tools to run up front.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Ben fill our second car,” said GMS Racing Director of Competition, Mike Beam. “This is a huge step for our [NASCAR] XFINITY Series program and I look forward to watching Ben learn and grow as a driver through it.”
Additional details on partners will be announced at a later date.
