Landon Pembelton, who made headlines for winning the Nation’s Premier Late Model Race at Martinsville Speedway, will compete in four ARCA Menards Series under the Venturini Motorsports banner this season.
The 16-year-old will compete for the organization at Elko Speedway, Milwaukee Mile, and Toledo Speedway, as well as the ARCA Menards Series West event at Phoenix Raceway.
“I am grateful for the opportunity with Venturini Motorsports and will make the most of the time. I am given to learn as much as I can,” said Pembelton. “Toyota and Venturini Motorsports are both proven winners in ARCA and I am excited for the challenge. I’m ready to rely on their leadership and knowledge to give me the best opportunity to succeed. I’ve got high expectations for myself. With the good equipment underneath me and knowing what I’m capable of, there’s no reason we can’t start off running top five.”
Pembelton was named the Virginia State Division I and South East Division I Rookie of The Year in 2021, and also ranked 10th-place in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series National Division I Standings.
The high school junior will make his first career ARCA Menards Series start in the Elko 250 at Elko Speedway on June 25.
