Kenzie Ruston-
Born in El Reno, OK, Kenzie was a natural athlete as she was constantly involved in some sort of sporting event. She began her racing career at age 14, in the Bandolero series where in her first year she finished 2nd in the championship points. Kenzie raced a Bandolero for two years before moving up to a Legend Car which she quickly caught on to. In 2009, at the age of 18, Kenzie won the National Championship in the Semi-Pro division. After an extremely successful 2009, she is looking to the future and will be racing in the 860 Motorsports owned Late Model during 2010.
Daniel Hemric-
Born and raised in Kannapolis, Hemric's first ride was a family-owned Go-Kart, which started his racing career. After having much success racing Go-Karts, it was decided that it was time to move up. Hemric's climb through the ranks eventually led him to Legends Car competition, where the teenager has amassed some very impressive feats that many drivers before him have only dreamed of obtaining. At 18, Daniel took the highest honor in Legend Car racing as National "Pro" Legend Car Champion. Of 67 races Daniel competed in during his dominant 2009 season, he amassed 64 top five's including 45 wins.
