Kennedy Racing (Start Your Engines!)

Kennedy Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The team began running in 1988 when Roger Kennedy, a prominent Arby's franchisee, acquired the #64 Ford from former NASCAR driver Elmo Langley, along with the team's shop and equipment. In the Cup Series, Kennedy Racing currently fields two Dodge Charger teams full-time: the No. 32 Tide for Louise Kennedy and the No. 64 Arby's for her father and the current owner, Melvin Kennedy. In the Xfinity Series, Kennedy currently fields the No. 64 full-time for Jeff Green, and in the Truck Series, it fields the No. 64 full-time for Greg Biffle.

Since its inception, Kennedy Racing has emerged as one of the most prominent teams in NASCAR. Originally a single-car team, it expanded to a two-car operation in 2007 after the acquisition of the #32 team from PPI Racing. It expanded to the Xfinity Series in 2004, and to the Truck Series in 2020, the latter under the leadership of Dale Kennedy, Louise's brother. It has won ten championships (1996, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2018); nine from Melvin, and one from Louise (2013).
