Bio

Kendell Lopez became interested in racing when she was just 12 years old. This interest continued and carried to the first Kart School she participated in when she was 14. Kendell began her racing career at a young age in go-karts entering any and every race she could. Finishing 1st in the Sadlers kart school points. During a summer vacation to Disney World Kendells dad participated in the Richard Petty driving school from that day forward she was hooked. Kendell came home and was relentless in all her pursuits to be part of racing. She contacted I-70 speedway and was put on a dash car team, then on to a super stock team, and last a super late team. Kendell used this opportunity to learn about the mechanics of the car and was an integral part of the crew, learning every job associated with the car. Kendell was invited to participate in the 2009 Toyota Speedway Shootout as crew member for two separate teams as they had both heard of this double arm tire caring country girl. They didn't believe it, so I guess they had to see it for themselves. Those two teams were Camping World's Class Racing and super late models with High Point Racing.
