Brandon Kennedy's life has been intertwined with hydroplane racing from birth. Kennedy embodies the rare fourth-generation racer whose path to the highest levels of the sport seemed almost predetermined.
In this revealing conversation, Kennedy takes us through his remarkable journey from those early days watching his father, grandfather, grandmother, and other family members compete to becoming the 25th driver of the iconic Miss Madison Racing team. His transition from dominating the Grand Prix class to qualifying as an H1 Unlimited rookie represents not just personal achievement, but the continuation of a storied family legacy in hydroplane racing. This is just part one of our conversation with Brandon Kennedy – tune in next week for the conclusion where we'll explore his future plans, racing philosophy, and more unexpected stories from his lifetime in the sport!
