Racing career
Kennealy first began racing quarter midgets at the age of four, where he would compete and win multiple championships over the next eight years. He would then move up to late models at Madera Speedway in 2021, where he would join Kyle Keller Racing in his final race of the year. He would remain with the team the following year, where he would win two races but ultimately finished runner-up in the standings behind Ethan Nascimento on a tiebreaker.
In 2023, it was revealed that Kennealy would make his debut in the ARCA Menards Series West at Irwindale Speedway, driving the No. 1 Ford for the family-owned 3K Motorsports. After finishing thirteenth in the sole practice session and qualifying, he would go on to finish on the lead lap in fifth place.
On September 2, 2023, it was announced that Kennealy would join the newly formed Kennealy Keller Motorsports, where he will run full-time alongside Kyle Keller.
Personal life
Kennealy has a sister named Harley, who has previously raced in quarter midgets and is the co-owner of Kennealy Keller Motorsports alongside their mother, Francesca.
