Ruston, Bell Break New Ground In K&N Pro Series East

Check out this article featuring Kenzie Ruston!!

"Even when they make history because of it, both Kenzie Ruston and Mackena Bell are hesitant to play what they both refer to as “the girl card.”

Ruston became the first woman to finish in the top-five of a NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race in the 27-year history of the series when she finished third at Greenville (S.C.) Pickens Speedway in early April. The very next week, Ruston finished fifth in the series' inaugural visit to Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla."
