Ross Kenseth, son of NASCAR champion Matt Kenseth, remains largely inactive in professional racing as of 2024. His most significant competitive appearances occurred in the mid-2010s.
Career Highlights & Recent Status
Kenseth achieved notable success early:
- 2013 ARCA/CRA Super Series Champion
- 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series Win at Dover (Driving for Joe Gibbs Racing in a limited schedule)
- Multiple wins in Super Late Model racing (JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour, ARCA Midwest Tour)
Limited NASCAR Involvement
Following his 2014 Nationwide win, Kenseth's NASCAR participation remained sparse:
- Competed in select NASCAR Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series races between 2014-2017 for teams like Roush Fenway Racing and his father's Kenseth Racing.
- Lacked sustained sponsorship for a full-time ride.
- His last recorded NASCAR start was in the Truck Series at Martinsville in 2017.
Inactivity Since 2020
Kenseth has effectively stepped back from competition:
- No documented professional starts since a Super Late Model race at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in June 2020.
- Primarily works outside racing, maintaining a low public profile.
- Does not have an active presence on major team rosters or entry lists.
While possessing demonstrable talent in Late Models and having a high-profile NASCAR win, sustained sponsorship challenges and limited opportunities prevented Kenseth from establishing a long-term career in NASCAR's national series. He has not signaled any intentions to return to professional racing.
