Racing career

Early career

Pembelton debuted in organized racing in 2019, running eight races at South Boston Speedway, collecting six top-fives. The following year, Pembelton won the Virginia Racers Challenge Series, which was run at Dominion Raceway and at Langley Speedway. In 2021, Pembelton was the 2021 Virginia State Division I and South East Division I rookie of the year. He also finished tenth in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series standings. [1]

Pembelton took the victory in the 2021 ValleyStar Credit Union 300, considered to be one of the biggest, most prestigious late-model races. Pembelton beat out drivers such as Sammy Smith, Bubba Pollard, Peyton Sellers, Corey Heim, and Timothy Peters becoming the youngest guest driver to claim victory in this race. [2] [3] In 2025, Pembelton scored his second Valley Star Credit Union win against Lee Pulliam in the narrowest margin of victory in the race’s history at .024 seconds.[ citation needed ]
