Not only is she competing in the toughest late model series in the state of Texas she is also the test driver for the new Bad Fast Racecar Chassis that is being developed by the team. Car builder and father, Kenny Bumbera says, “Research and development has been an ongoing process and based on the success that we’ve had with Kendall in the new car this month it looks like we’re very close to production of the new racecar chassis.” The newly designed chassis is lighter weight, easily adjustable and the simplest design possible. “This is just a fast racecar that amazes the tech officials and competitors with its simplicity and speed.” says Kenny Bumbera.
Kendall’s next race will be the Texas Stock Car Spectacular in Kyle, Texas on September 23rd and 24th.
