Racing career

ARCA Menards Series

Kitzmiller would announce his debut in the ARCA Menards Series in 2020, driving the No. 97 Chevrolet for CR7 Motorsports in a press release, saying "Without a doubt, this will be the biggest race of my career thus far and I've got a ton of knowledge and support behind me, I just hope to mind my manners and keep our No. 97 CR7 Motorsports Chevrolet out of trouble." ^[3] He would finish 32nd with engine troubles. Throughout the season, he would make six more starts with CR7 Motorsports, earning two top-tens that year at Talladega and Michigan. He would end up finishing eighteenth in the standings with 212 points.

In 2021, Kitzmiller would return to the series, again with CR7 Motorsports as a part-timer. ^[4] In six races, he would not get any top-tens, with a best of eleventh at Daytona and Charlotte. He would have a worse season in 2021, finishing 24th in the standings with 177 points. On January 27, 2025, it was announced that Kitzmiller would run the full schedule, with ten-time series champion Frank Kimmel serving as his crew chief for CR7. ^{[5] [6]} Kitzmiller would finish the season third in the final point standings with two top-fives and fourteen top-tens.

ARCA Menards Series East

Kitzmiller would make his debut in the ARCA Menards Series East in a combination event with the ARCA Menards Series at the 2020 Bush's Beans 200, finishing thirteenth. He would race in the next year's Bristol race, this time finishing 22nd. On January 27, 2025, it was announced that Kitzmiller would run part-time in 2025 with CR7. ^[5]
