Brandon McKenzie (born June 30, 1981) is an American professional stock car racing driver who has competed in the ARCA Racing Series.
In 2015, McKenzie made his debut in the ARCA Racing Series at Salem Speedway, driving the No. 40 Dodge for Carter 2 Motorsports, where he started in seventeenth and finished eighteen laps down in sixteenth place.[1] He then ran at Toledo Speedway for the team shortly thereafter, where he started in 22nd and finished in 21st due to a crash.[2]
In 2024, McKenzie owned a ARCA car purchased from Kimmel Racing and assigned Roger Carter, whom he drove for in his ARCA starts, to pickup and complete the car. With or without McKenzie's permission, Carter subleased the car to Alex Malycke for the ARCA Menards Series East race at Flat Rock Speedway in Michigan. Malycke arrived at the track but Carter no-showed the race which prompted an investigation from the Loudoun County (VA) Sheriff's Office. On July 1st, Carter reported the car and tools "as missing", but he had fled to Virginia a week later.[3] Carter would later be arrested on July 29,[4] and the car, as well as the engine and transmission, would not be found until September of that year, with the car ditched in a cornfield in Illinois, and the engine and transmission being found in a storage locker, and were returned to the McKenzie's shortly afterwards. It was also revealed during this time that McKenzie plans to enter the ARCA Menards Series East race at Rockingham Speedway in 2025 with the car.[citation needed]
McKenzie has also competed in series such as the PASS Pro Late Model Series, the Southeast Legends Tour, the INEX Nashville Spring Series, the INEX Summer Shootout Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the INEX Winter Nationals.[5][6][7]
