Racing career

From 2014 to 2015, Kemp would make select starts in the Midwest Indoor Racing Series Arena-Mini Cup Division and the Vores Compact Touring Series in the North Division before making a lone start in the Great Lakes Super Mini Cup Series. [1]

In 2019, Kemp would run full-time in the Midwest Classic Racers Series, driving the No. 1a entry, where he would win one race at South Bend Motor Speedway and would finish in the top-ten in all the races on the schedule on his way to finish third in the points standings. He would go on to finish second in the points and win six races between 2020 and 2021. In 2022, Kemp would win seven races and would once again finish in the top-ten in every race, and would go on to win the championship over Troy Hoffman by over fifty points. [1] [2]

In 2023, Kemp would make his debut in the ARCA Menards Series at Berlin Raceway, driving the No. 12 Ford for Fast Track Racing, where he would start twelfth and finish thirteenth due to issue with the rear end of the car. [3] He would then make another start at Iowa Speedway, where he would also make his ARCA Menards Series East debut, as it was a combination event with the main ARCA series. He would start fifteenth but finish nineteenth after 29 laps due to mechanical issues. [4] He then made another start at Kansas Speedway, this time driving the No. 11, where he finished twentieth due to vibrations in the car. [5]

In 2024, it was announced that Kemp will return to the East Series at Flat Rock Speedway, once again driving for Fast Track Racing. [6] He had previously tested with the team at the pre-season test at Daytona International Speedway, [7] where he placed 47th in the overall results between the two testing days. [8]
