Kenzie started racing in Bandolero cars at the age of 14. It only took a few races for her to capture her first win and after the first win she was even more determined. Kenzie raced the majority of her races the first year at Texas Motor Speedway finishing 2nd in points in her rookie season. When Kenzie turned 15 she continued in the bandolero series and finished 3rd at the Kentucky Bandolero Nationals. She finished 2nd in points in the TMS Summer Stampede, she was 2nd in overall points for the season at TMS and was Champion at TMS for the Spring Nationals in the Bandolero Young Guns. Kenzie finished 4th in INEX points.
After turning 16, Kenzie moved up to the ultra competitive Legends car series, racing in the Semi Pro and Young Lions Divisions. She raced in the winter series at TMS in the Young Lions Division and placed 3rd in points. She raced in two summer series, the Summer Stampede at TMS finishing 2nd in points and the Summer Shootout at LMS in Charlotte, NC finishing in the top 10 in points.
In 2009 at TMS, she won the Winter Series, Summer Stampede and Series Championship. She won 7 Championships in 2009 becoming the first female to win the asphalt National Championship in a Legend series. She was also voted Driver of the Year at TMS. Kenzie was asked by Lyn St. James to participate in the Women of the Winner Circle traveling display. The display will travel for approximately 5 years promoting women in racing.
In 2010 Kenzie moved up to drive full bodied racecars in the Super Late Model Series. She competed in the Pro All Star Racing Series (PASS) Southern Division where she racked up multiple top 10 finishes and earned the much treasured respect of her fellow competitors. In just her first full season of full bodied stock cars Kenzie finished 12th in final point standings after missing 2 races due to engine failure.
2011 has brought an all new task for Kenzie and she has proven that no task is too large for the small town girl as she has been competitive in some of the biggest races of her career. Along with competing in over 20 Super Late Model races during 2011, Kenzie has also competed in 4 Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) events. In her first ARCA Racing Series start, Kenzie made history by becoming the first female to lead laps and finish inside the top 10 in her ARCA debut. Kenzie went on to finish her 4 ARCA races with 2 top 10 finishes, a 12th place finish and a 24th place finish after an accident in her finial race.
In October of 2011, Kenzie made her mark on the sport of auto racing by becoming the first female to win in a Champions Racing Association (CRA) event which took place at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, IN. She also was the fast qualifier for that particular event which put her name in the record books as the first female to ever qualify first for a CRA event. With this victory Kenzie proved that she is here to stay and is set to climb the racing ladder in the year to come.
