Jason Kitzmiller will compete for the 2025 ARCA Menards Series championship with his family-owned A.L.L. Construction Racing, the team announced on Monday.
Beginning with the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway on February 15, Kitzmiller will drive the No. 97 Chevrolet SS in his first attempt at running the full 20-race schedule.
Frank Kimmel, the winningest driver in the history of the ARCA Menards Series, will be atop the pit box for the full campaign. This isn’t their first time working together, either, as Kimmel served as crew chief for all five of Kitzmiller’s starts in 2024.
“This is a great opportunity for our A.L.L. Construction Racing team and me,” said Kitzmiller in a team release. “We’ve been preparing for this moment since we landed in the ARCA Menards Series in 2020, and I believe we can have a memorable season with a lot of hard work, determination, and a little luck.”
The native of Petersburg, West Virginia, is no stranger to veteran experience in the ARCA Menards Series. At 51 years old, he has made 28 starts and achieved his career-best finish of sixth in last season’s opening race at the prestigious Daytona International Speedway. Kitzmiller has also collected seven top-10s across his tenure in the series.
Kitzmiller has been competing part-time in the ARCA Menards Series since 2020, driving the No. 97 Chevrolet SS for another West Virginia native Codie Rohrbaugh’s CR7 Motorsports. This will be the first season that Kitzmiller will run the complete schedule.
Kitzmiller also expressed his enthusiasm about working with Kimmel again: “Frank has been instrumental in making this transition from a part-time to a full-time team possible. His experience is invaluable, and his dedication to taking our team to the next level cannot be overlooked.”
Marketing partners for the A.L.L. Construction Racing team will be announced at a later date. Further announcements from the organization are forthcoming.
The Hard Rock Bet 200 will take place at Daytona International Speedway and will air on Saturday, February 15 on FOX at Noon EST.
